Part Time Worker

I drive around a Prince William County for my job. I love watching what people do on this beautiful planet. Most of all, I love Woodbridge.

First I would like to apologize for not being able to get a video (trust me I tried).
So I’m sitting at a light looking to my left waiting for an opening to make my right turn (right on red is great, thanks VA for not taking that away from us). In the left turn lane there is a white 2006 Honda Odyssey with a small family inside, as most minivans do. Anyways there was a dude in a wife beater lifting weights. I counted at least 15 reps.

Also I saw a classic Toyota 4 runner with some central/southern American flag covering the back glass. But that’s not all. This guy must really like 4 runners because on top of the said flag was a large (and I mean at least 2 feet across) picture of a 4 runner. I mean if you don’t know what your vehicle looks like, you definitely need a pic on the back. “Hey you behind me, this is what the front of my car looks like!”

As I was sitting at Sheetz for lunch I watched this feeble old lady in a tank top, camouflage shorts and striped shocks with the toes in them, get out of her car at the gas pumps. She stepped out of her car lit her cigarette and made her way toward the store.

Okay maybe you were thinking what I was thinking. “What is this idiot doing lighting a cigarette next to the fuel pumps?” And, “if she is going in the store she must be desperate for a few quick puffs.”
Now those little rainbow striped sock cover feet were moving as fast as they could. How fast is that, you would ask? She finished her cigarette before she even stepped up onto the sidewalk off of the parking lot. It took her over two minutes to make that trip, then all she could do was rest. Instead of walking in she made a hasty exit to her car. And what I mean by hasty was she got back in just under two minutes. She plopped in the car and lead footed it out of there.

New Jersey plates, that says it all!
