In the “There Has To Be A Valid Explanation For This” Department, I passed an SUV in traffic this week that had a dirty back windshield. True to form, someone had written something in the dirt with their finger. What was on it though was the eyecatcher. I can’t imagine how a driver couldn’t see in his rear view mirror the following text:
I am a convicted pedophile
So we have several possible scenarios here:
-
The driver is unbelievably unobservant and oblivious to his surroundings
-
The driver is unable to read backwards lettering (although it would appear in his rearview mirror the correct way)
-
The driver truly is a pedophile and this was done by a neighbor or a family member of one of his victims
Regardless, this was an extremely tasteless joke (and that comes from someone whose humor usually is always tinted with a shade of blue) by whoever did it if it was indeed a joke.

Our parking garage at work gives illegal parkers a double whammy. Not only is one of your front wheels clamped down with a Denver Boot, but they put what can only be described as a Canister of Shame behind your car. I hadn’t had the chance to snap a photo of this until yesterday but, as you can see from the very hurried photo I took, there’s no way you’re moving your car. Not only can you not move because of two impediments blocking your car, you’re also now the object of ridicule.
“PARKING VIOLATOR” – the modern day scarlet letter device for parking lot offenders.
