Current location: Coffee talk
So I was not minding my own business sitting in the front windows of Starbucks as night fell, and fell fast... when I look out to see perhaps the longest legal length for a single trailer behind a Mack Truck or Peterbilt Big Rig ( Ten four good buddy) WITH a sleeper cab, so anywayz this whole rig is super long. I see the guy try and make the turn from Union heading West, to Laguna North. He stops, goes forward, moves ahead, (it's not too late, to whip it) again he turns wheels, goes forward, back... hmm cars begin to pull up behind him. I decide to run out and keep the cars at bay and then I give him arm motions from 50ft away like I am guiding a Jet on the tarmac to the gate, bringing him closer to the cars, who are now backing up... as they back up, some of them are honking (10 cars back), I keep backing him up. A lady then gets out of the passenger side of the Rig wearing a Roots sweatshirt. I begin relaying the distances to her and asking if he is going to back up and go straight or try again... He backs up and goes straight... but as he is doing this, I see the angry faces in the cars now passing on his left, and going around the first few cars that are backing up and into the other cars that are equally as pissed because he is blocking them too. I am sure the angry passer guy in the Range Rover and wearing a suit had to get to the Gymnasium so he was not late for his spin class perhaps, totally justifying his disregard for oncoming traffic right-of-way, as well as the spirit of the other cars and me trying to get this guy out of a bind.
The roots sweatshirt now comes into explanation for you 'Mericans... so my synopsis was that this driver, who probably should not have had this Rig on this Narrow street in SF is more than likely Canadian. The only people that wear Roots brand in America are Canadians and Winter Olympic Athletes, Right Sue?? Damn Canadian Drivers should not be Oot and aboot on this street, eh?
Who would you rather be?
