Stupid People

I was walking to work - today like everyday. (Have I ever mentioned that I love walking to work? It's amazing. Anyone who can should try it.) I have to walk through a relatively busy part of Cambridge every morning called Central Square. It's a cute little area filled with small shops, pharmacies, liquor stores, book stores, restaurants, bars, coffee shops, etc. This morning I was walking along as usual, just as I went to turn off on the side street to get to work - I saw this young woman pushing a baby carriage. Nothing usual about that. The unusual part was that it had a cup holder - with a cigarette box and lighter in it. WTF woman? Your kid could not have been more than 8 months old. You smoke with him around? I really wanted to deck her right then and there. Then she proceeded to walk into cross traffic - and the cross walk light was no where near white (it was only about half way through the cycle) and cars were coming at her from both directions honking at her. Yet again WTF? Are you trying to kill your child? The most amazing part of the entire story is that she stopped at red light - then decided that she didn't want to wait. Some people are so fucking crazy.

I do some crazy things sometimes - but definitely smoking around a kid and walking into traffic.
