Nice kind people

This weekend, having decided that the snowy conditions were just too dire to go anywhere in their car, Frit and Mrs. Frit left it in the garage and went to the shops on foot for safety’s sake. So neither were best pleased when two colliding vehicles slid onto the sidewalk and Mrs. Frit fell over trying to avoid injury. Frit attempted to point out to one of the drivers concerned that the accident was not the fault of the road nor the fault of the vehicle “for leaving the road”, as he wanted Frit to see it, but the fault of the dolt driving the vehicle, whereupon two passing nice kind people who are so much better and more perfect than Frit intervened to defend the driver, assuring Frit, busy picking up Mrs. Frit and dusting her down, that accidents happen. This incident, plus many years of painstaking observation at the wheel, has convinced Frit that at least 80 percent of human beings are plainly too stupid to be put in charge of motor vehicles. It also convinced Frit that nice kind people who are so much better and more perfect than Frit can be aggressive fucking nuisances in their niceness. They somehow just can’t keep their niceness to themselves.
