Douche-y things…

I spent a lot of time on America’s highways and byways (and triways?) this weekend. It was a good opportunity to notice how many doucheflakes are commuting to and fro in this great land. I thought perhaps I’d write a list of the most douchetacular things I’ve encountered. Here we go:

  1. By far the worst, the faux testicles that people buy to hang off of their trailer hitches. Ew. And ew again. I don’t want to see your nut sack and I certainly don’t want to see anything that resembles it on your Ford. Thanks anyway.
  2. Euro plates on non-Euro cars. A ’92 Accord coupe with Euro plates does not make any sense. Even if you did spend $57.83 to get clear tail lights and M3 mirrors on eBay.
  3. The Dodge Caravan/Plymouth Voyager/Chrysler Town & Country. Any year, any color. Bonus points if it’s from New Jersey. Double bonus if it’s rusty, too.
  4. The L.L. Bean Edition anything. Enough said.
  5. No turn signals or fifteen miles of turning left…especially when it’s a cop. (Thanks, Kate.)
  6. Old people driving a Mercedes R-Class (champagne, of course), ten miles per hour below the speed limit, in the left lane, all four of them zoning out while staring in different directions.

I should have written this up the other day when I was still enraged. Sorry for the lack of oomph. However, I know you all have a favorite that you’d like to share. (Lindsie, I’m looking at you and your trips on the 76s.)
