So today my day starts off with a nice run in with the elderly. I was at the gym with my friend melly walking on the olyptical, when melly starts yelling at me that someone hit my car. I look outside and sure enough there is a car in my back bumper. I go outside to see that it is a 84yr old woman driving! She tells me she was trying not to hit the pop bottle.( glad she missed that pop bottle and hit my car) she then gets outta her car and licks her hand to try to rub off the damage to my car. (are u kidding me) she then parks and goes in to Fantastic Sams to get her hair done. So I had to call the cops on a 84yr old woman. She really didnt seem to care becasuse she said she was getting a new car( mind u the car she was driving now had been threw a few wrecks) So now i have to get my back bumper repainted, GREAT!! ``` Why do old people drive!!!!!!!! ``` ---

speaking of old people… monday there was an old lady pulled over on rt 30./ardmore blvd. in forest hills, between drew’s & toco bell she was going the wrong way…going east in the west bound lanes…LOL looked like she had come down one of the streets that come down from greensburg pike & made a left into the west bound lanes instead of going on the other side of the median to the east bound lanes ---

I had a guy coming at me on Rt. 51 by the Elizabeth bridge going up the hill. Still not sure how he managed that one. It’s a tough one. It would be hard to give up your independence, but at some point you can become a hazard to yourself and everyone else. ---

So more importantly, did you give her a card to get her hair done by you instead of Fantastic Sams? I can’t wait till I am old. I am going to hit shit, fart in front of people all the time, and wear the same clothes every day. ---
