What the what!?

Post by Uncle Groucho »

Was at the Saint Patrick's Day parade in Atlanta yesterday; my little girl was marching with her Girl Scout troupe in front of a Kermit the Frog balloon.

While waiting, I heard the putt-putt sound of a cheaper, Chinese scooter which isn't unusual in downtown Atlanta. Looked up and saw it was a dad with his little girl sitting in front of him; she's wearing a bike helmet. He's wearing *no* helmet.

And then I see he's got one of those stroller-chariots for kids to sit in while you cycle on a road bike. He's got it attached behind his scoot and the exhaust is pointed directly at it. There's a kid in the stroller! :shock:

What the hell is wrong with people?! I guess he was meeting his wife or something because he stopped, let the girl climb off the scooter to hand her off to a woman and he takes the bike helmet off and puts it on his head...

But there's a kid riding in something that was never intended to be on the back of a scooter and eating a ton of exhaust! :evil:

We all see some messed up stuff from time to time. Hell, I know I'm probably guilty of something sometime in my life. But what the what!?

I know, pics or it didn't happen; my wife had the camera and my phone takes lousy shots. But I just can't believe the cops who were standing around didn't even blink. And this asshat will keep doing what he's doing and give scooterists a bad name...

How can someone be THAT stupid???
Maybe he'll run for president if the guy who strapped his dog to the roof of his car doesn't get elected.

Unbelievable. And Atlanta, on St. Patricks day. Traffic, parties, nut-jobs. There's no excuse. And the Mom approved?!?

Yeah, we breed 'em smart down here, don't we? :fp:

A girl I worked with many years ago had a kid get carbon monoxide poisoning while out on the lake. They were letting him play behind the boat, right next to the exhaust. He passed out. Luckily the poor kid didn't die, but it was iffy there for a bit.

Stupid, stupid, stoooopid.
