The Yahoos I've come across today

So today was like a twighlight zone episode.
I saw so many yahoos, you can't even believe it.

I know I work downtown and there are some very weird people on Yonge Street and some others streets, but today I saw some weirdos that take the cake.

It started with a lady crossing the street in her bathrobe... Crossing Islington Avenue to go to the gas station and buy cigarettes probably (she was going to the gas station..buying I do not know what). This at 6:30 in the morning and in fridgid weather.

As we drove to work I saw three different women applying make-up while they drove. One was attempting to put on Mascara and trying to change lanes on the Gardiner.

I also saw a dude shaving with one of the electric shavers, also while driving on Lakeshore.

Then a police officer comes out of nowhere on Bathurst and Adelaide and stops a streetcar, pulls the old man that just got on off the streetcar and onto the sidewalk. Not sure what that was about, but I think the officer was mad that the little old man crossed the street in front of the streetcar on a red light!

As I was crossing the street to get to my office building, after almost not finding a parking spot at my usual place... I see this woman driving and reading a book, not some small thing, but one of the Daniel Steele novels. How can you read and drive? I would say if the book is that good, get a book on tape or something.

At lunch, I saw a man wearing shorts along College Street, it was freaken -25 degrees!

During the afternoon I was taking a break and watering the plants in the office, as I looked out the window, I saw this young woman hurrying down the passway between our building and the next. Not weird you'd probably say, but then I saw three crazy squirrels running after her and snapping at her heels.

I went to the mall after work to renew my driver's licence and low and behold the damn office was closed at 6:00 PM even though the little thingy in the window said that the place is supposed to close at 7:00 PM on Tuesdays!
At least I got a spring jacket for $ 40 out of the deal at Winners....

Has anyone else had a bonzo day like this?
