New frontiers in student stupidity

[muckefuck]

I'm walking back from lunch. I see a car parked off to one side with the driver's door ajar. There's a guy in the driver's seat and two more standing by the open door. I have a bad feeling, but I figure Who would be stupid enough to back out with his door ajar?

OH. MY. GOD.

He waited until I was right behind him, natch. I stood there for a moment thinking He's got to notice me but he continued not to, so I started saying "Yo! Yo!" to get his attention.

It wasn't easy, because he was on the phone the whole time. I finally had to walk up to the front seat and practically wave my arms in his face. The two guys standing nearby, who I assume were buddies of his, made absolutely no effort to stop him from running me down.

From now on, I'm calling this place "Midvale School for the Gifted".

I've been a bit chary of doing that ever since a confrontation I had two years. I slapped my hand down on the trunk of a car which was blocking the crosswalk at an intersection. Half a block later, the driver caught up with me on foot and threatened to kick my ass. I don't think there was any real danger of this happening, but it reminded me that there are some pretty loose cannons inside some of those vehicles.
