WTF Wednesdays- The next generation

I ride a bike mostly by choice so I encounter certain situations that some of my vehicular inclined human beings might not on a daily basis. This usually boils down to weather issues but at least once a week I come across terrible human beings who make me wish there was a license to breed. Case in point I am riding down Main Street minding my own business when I rather nice Jeep Grand Cherokee appears next to me and rolls its rear passenger window down and out comes a tween aged blond girl. Now I ride with headphones in blasting at nearly full volume nearly 100% of my journey so I do not initially hear what the tween is screaming at me, just that it is apparently hilarious to her. So I pop my headphones out and catch the last few sentences which went a bit like this:

"Cant drive a car? You suck! Don't crash!"

Now I cannot attest to what other pearls of wisdom she spouted before the headphones came off but I imagine it was not much more intelligent than what followed. Now typically when this happens I ignore it and move on my marry way, writing off their behavior as the product of too many paint chips consumed or perhaps a glue sniffing hobby of some sort, but today was a little different and I was feeling feisty. You see the situation became interesting when said Jeep Grand Cherokee surged forward a few blocks and then parked in front of a Starbucks, and so I decided to confront the driver who was a middle aged gentleman that looked at least half way civilized.

After stopping behind the Jeep I asked what I assume was the father of this very rude tween if he realized what the girl had been shouting out the window, to which he replied "So the f**k what?". I was understandably taken aback by this and proceeded to tell the man this girl was harassing a pedestrian from his vehicle which WAS NOT A GOOD THING. After not getting any kind of apology I started to take down his license plate number, mostly as a bluff, to which he chuckled and continued on his way while saying good luck. What an asshat right? So this experience taught me two things, first that I should not have faith in the vast majority of people for they are rude, second that the future is screwed if this is how we are raising our children to act.
