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 [...]

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 [...]

Old, Angry, and Ugly

Idiocy Meter

Boy, is this not a good week for senior citizens.  This crotchety old bugger in a Mercedes was impatiently weaving and tailgating all along Burton Way and nearly collided into a red Toyota in the process.  It’s a good thing for him [...]

What the hell is this crazy old loony bitch doing behind a wheel?  This angry old woman who was driving a Lexus SUV on Cahuenga West (parallel to the 101 Fwy) has clearly lost her mind.  A row of cars was stopped [...]

So I’m walking to my car to see if my tires have been marked for a potential 2-hour parking violation in Beverly Hills down that narrow one-way alley where I work.  As many of you already know, this alley (just south of [...]

I came across this super-senior driving his senile-looking wife (there was nothing registering in her eyes) around in his Toyota Solara on Little Santa Monica a few weeks ago. Call it profiling if you want, but I become much more wary [...]

Look Before You Leap, Old Man

Idiocy Meter

Asshole Meter

Here’s a classic example of a senior citizen that shouldn’t be driving.  For some reason, many of these blue hairs feel that just because they’re old, they get a “bye” when it comes to driving regulations, particularly ones concerning right-of-way.  It’s either [...]

A Perfect Storm Waiting to Happen

Idiocy Meter

Asshole Meter

Senior citizens get a bad rap for being bad drivers, and to a certain extent, that generalization holds some credibility, much along the same lines of why teenagers tend to be bad drivers. However, what happens when you encounter a blue [...]

OK, I’m slowly seeing a pattern with senile old drivers and Dodge Grand Caravans.  Here’s another story submitted by a reader:
“This Grand Caravan (i.e. euphemism for sh*tty minivan) was turning right onto 3rd St. right by the Third Stop (wine/beer restaurant [...]
