Drive By!
Before anyone has a heart attack, my car is free of bullet holes, as am I. I, however, was a victim of a drive by yesterday on my way home from work. This was a drive by that I never even imagined, even in my wildest dreams. I was a victim of the dreaded drive by advertisement! Confused? Don’t feel bad. I was too when it first happened.
I was driving home from work with my windows down since my AC is not working, again. Right after I pulled out of a stop light, I noticed a blue van driving along side me and its driver was shouting at me. After my experience with downtown Chicago, I figured that he wanted over since he was in an exit-only lane. I slowed down to let him into my lane, but he stayed driving right along side me. I was starting to get agitated, so I looked over at him to see if I could figure out what he was shouting. No sooner did I do so than he asks, "Hey, you want a home theater system?" I looked back at the road for a second, wondering if I had heard correctly. I turned my head back towards him, only to hear him ask, "You want a home theater system?" At this point, I had had enough, so I shouted an emphatic "NO!" back at him and tried to put some distance between that wacko and myself. And to think that I thought that pop-up and pop-under ads were annoying.
