I’m going to describe to you a situation I was witness to today on my drive into work.

I came out of a grocery store parking lot and drove around the back of the store so I could come out at an intersection with stoplights. I was trying to avoid crossing two lanes of traffic on Calgary’s busy 16th Ave. I stopped at an intersection a block away from the lights at a four way stop. As I am stopped a women driving a station wagon with two small kids in the back drives through the 4 way stop, does a U-turn in the middle of the intersection, and continues to drive back in the opposite direction. Did I mention she was also talking on her cell phone?

The real kicker is, as she pulled out of her U-turn and drove down the street I see the “baby on board” sign she is so proudly displaying in her rear window. Seriously, some people are infinitely stupid. Or maybe it’s just a testament to what you can get away with on Calgary’s streets.
