Daily Gripe

Hello, my name is Stu. Today my gripe is with DUI. I even go further than this charge DUIOB. Translation - driving under the influence on a bike. Bike - DUI - can be just as dangerous as car drivers. Why? because sometimes it doesn't occur to us that a wacko weaving on the side of the road may be intoxicated.
The first clue might be a middle age man in a bit of disrepair riding a bike to the convenient store in a place where no one should be riding a bike. Busy traffic, dangerous intersection, no shoulders at dusk with no lights. The fact that he has this glazed look on his face is another small clue. Now, a man in this predicament - you gotta know he has no drivers license. And why I wonder?
I watch him park his bike, look around - guilt written all over his body language. Wobble into the store. Weebles wobble but they don't fall down, although they may kill an innocent bystander. Out he comes with (not a brown bag) his earth unfriendly plastic bag filled with 4 cans of beer and tries to tie the bag to his handle bars. The guilt of doing something wrong is still evident. He hops on the bike and weaves away into traffic, at evening rush hour.
He makes it across the busy highway stops the bike almost falls and sits on a bench. He chugs down one beer and reaches for another. I drive away in disgust.
Apparently, losing your license does not stop one from drinking they are so desperate they use alternate means of transportation and it is not due to the price of gas. Gas prices a major gripe of mine.

Sincerly annoyed,

Mr. Pid
