Argumentative Clueless Crone

Back in 2006 when I decided to create this blog, one of my colleagues at the time gave me this by Bruce Eric Kaplan. Since I have a story to share today that really typifies the synergy of L.A.’s idiotic and [...]

Two Looks at Clueless and Aggressive

Idiocy Meter

Talk about Saturday morning malaise. I first notice this lady driving her white Pontiac as she’s pulling out of a driveway off of Oak across from the Starbucks. She proceeded to cross the grassy median and then made a left [...]

Fidgety Idiot in Audi

Idiocy Meter

Asshole Meter

We came across this paranoid dude in a silver Audi with a black trunk who looked like he was tripping on bad hash on Santa Monica in West L.A., just off the 405 freeway. We were sitting at a red light [...]

Yes, Texting Is Still Legal (Sorta)

Idiocy Meter

So, I’m an idiot for not reading the FAQ of the new cell phone law more carefully. Upon more careful examination, it would appear that the information provided in a recent Daily News article is correct:

Idiocy Meter

Asshole Meter

Yes, Folks, Those Are 2 Lanes on Beverly

Idiocy Meter

Asshole Meter

I could totally relate with this submission I got in in my inbox a couple of days ago, since I drive this stretch of road quite often whenever I cut through Coldwater Canyon.  It’s also the stretch of road that precedes the [...]

I’ll Take Stop Signs for $800, Alex

Idiocy Meter

Asshole Meter

OK, seriously, how dense can you be to follow the car in front of you when you don’t have clearance to cross the intersection and your direction of travel is governed by a stop sign.  I’m sorry, but you don’t have to [...]
