Default What complete idiots

I work on a military base and thus am required to follow specific regulations. I have to wear a reflective safety vest when riding my cycle. This morning I asked the gate guard if my vest actually had a big TARGET on the back.
It started yesterday afternoon. I'm on the way home and some idiot pulls out in front of me. Granted there was some room and I did not have to nail the brakes hard but still. I had gone to Advance Auto and bought a louder horn which is very nice. Then later, the biggest, most idiotic thing. I'm on the interstate running at 60 (my GZ250 does not like to drive much faster although it will), I'm in the right hand lane in order to keep out of everyone's way, and I'm watching the left mirror to see what is coming up behind me. Suddenly, out of my right eye, I catch a glimpse of something. It's some complete DUMBA** and this fool is passing me on the shoulder of the highway. Now I'm at 60 mph and this fool must be running 65-70. I did let him know my annoyance but blowing the horn and giving him the universal hand signal for "YOU ARE AN IDIOT".
Of course this morning I had to deal with the DAs driving and yapping on the cell phones who weave all over the road.
I'm thinking more and more about the ball bearings or maybe the heavy dog chain on a leash.
