Why humanity disgusts me
I took a trip home this weekend to relax, hang out and work a shift at my quasi-job (I don't really work there...just on occassion...whatever). About halfway through my 2 hour drive I got pulled over for doing 82 in a 65...not ticket so no big deal and the officerette was pretty cool. So about 20 miles or so down the road I come up about 1/2 mile or so behind a kid on a sport bike tailgating a car. They're in a no-passing zone (2 lane highway) and their about to crest a hill. Well...the kid decides he can't wait any longer and goes across the double yellow line and guns it...head on into a Ranger. The impact forces him off of the bike and through the windshield of the truck, nailing the driver which caused him to lose control, cross over a lane and flip a couple times down an embankment. Now I slammed on my brakes, pulled over, and got out as did two other guys going the opposite direction. The car that was in front of the bike just kept going. I checked on the guy in the truck...he had a faint pulse and was loosing a lot of blood from a large gash in his neck I can only guess was caused by the windshield. I turned around to check on the biker but the two other guys were already walking up toward me shaking their heads. So I grabbed my cell phone and tried to dial *47 (our highway emergency number) but wasn't getting any service (not much between Pittsbrug KS and Kansas City). So I went over and tried to wave people down to see if they had cell phones. After about 4 or 5 minutes and 20 cars not a single damn person had stopped. Eventually 3 more people stopped and one got service to make a call. It was a good 10-15 before Highway Patrol and ambulances showed up (including the officerette that had pulled me over earlier) and, while I don't know for certain what happened to the guy in the truck, with his injuries I'd be incredibly suprised if he made it. So...to conclude, had so many of these people not been douche bags passed me by while I was trying to wave them down (I even stood out in front of some of them...they just went around me) MAYBE this guy would've had a chance. Maybe they all had some place to be...but so did I and everyone else who stopped. I ended up being late for a date I'd been looking forward to all week but who cares? At least I made it alive. God damn people make me sick sometimes.
