Orange County Photo Bounty

Idiocy Meter

Asshole Meter

Though this didn’t happen in L.A., we see drivers like the one in this Mercedes in this county all the time.  Get a load of this submission from a reader in Orange County.

Sorry So Sloppy

Idiocy Meter

So I know that we all live in our cars. Hell, latest studies show that drivers in Los Angeles on average spend more time in their vehicles than any other city. As a result, I often see drivers treating their [...]

Another Me-First Encounter in the Valley

Idiocy Meter

Asshole Meter

It’s been awhile since I’ve come up with another example of how people with inoperable vehicle lights tend to be poor drivers.  To recap my theory, if one has a certain malaise and indifference regarding properly maintaining their vehicle up to code, [...]

Where Are You Going?

Idiocy Meter

Asshole Meter

This post might be a bit of a stretch with regards to what makes someone tick, but hear me out: one of my biggest problems with this town is the lack of ownership people have over anything–work, their actions, decisions, consequences, etc.  [...]

Asshole Meter

It’s bad enough that we encounter so many assholes on the road who endanger the lives of other drivers through their reckless driving.   So imagine how we felt when we nearly almost ran into this dumb, frazzled b*tch in a Toyota [...]

“So in all fairness, I didn’t see this guy driving. But look at how he’s parked! [...]

Hoist by His Own Petard

Idiocy Meter

Asshole Meter

I can totally picture the bald, cocky ass driving this black Chevy Tahoe sitting at a blackjack table, making a string of bad decisions, losing thousands of dollars in only a few minutes.  Yet instead of walking away, this tool would probably [...]

Obstruction of Traffic….Hmm, You Think???

Idiocy Meter

Asshole Meter

Are we so isolated in either our home, school, place of work, or car that we so easily forget the very basics of consideration and common sense when it comes to dealing with others?  When I read this submission, I find it [...]

Why Is Everyone Flashing Their Lights at Me?

Idiocy Meter

Asshole Meter

There’s not much to this one other than it was 9 p.m., and this guy was cruising around on Curson at painfully slow speeds without any head or driving lights on. Several cars flashed their high beams at him to give [...]
