A couple of my best friends and I were walking together during our 2 hour lunch just to enjoy the nice weather and get a bite to eat. Grant, an obnoxious yet quite hilarious fellow, decided it’d be fun to steal peoples’ newspapers in broad daylight. Sean, the optimistic one that everyone rags on, didn’t like the idea but decided to participate. And of course there is myself, which I have a hard time describing. I just like to try to make people smile to be honest; almost everything I say is to try to make someone have a better day. As we proceeded down the street, Grant took several of the free newspapers off peoples’ driveways. We continued collecting newspapers until none of us could hold any more, so we decided to dispose of them. Grant threw his over a fence, then took Sean’s and proceeded to the same, and finally took mine and tossed them on the roof. All was good for a while, until a man in a car driving 15 miles per hour over the speed limit passed us and nearly runs Grant over, while slamming his brakes. As he stormed out of his car, the first thing that I notice is that it is a green KIA Soul, commonly known as a tree hugger’s car. The next thing I noticed, is he was wearing crocs. Not any kind of crocs, but the ones lined with fur that most likely cost more than that guy makes in a week. Once he swings the door open he stomps over towards Grant, and gets right in his face to tell him what a horrible person he is. Grant didn’t reply. Instead, he got into a fierce stare-down with the guy wearing Crocs. We figured he had nothing better to do besides stand up to some kids who are redistributing free newspapers. After what seems like hours, Mr. Nature asks us what school we go to, and Sean immediately replies Fort Collins (facepalm). So the guy yells “SOMEONE OF AUTHORITY IS GOING TO HEAR ABOUT THIS!” They didn’t. Or maybe they did, but they didn’t find it serious at all so we never got in trouble.
Grant answered with the smart-ass answer of “That sounds like a personal problem”, and the tree hugger was incredibly flustered after that. The funniest part was that the guy hopped into his KIA Soul, revs the engine, and then curbs his car leaving a scratch on the bottom. Sounds like a bad day for him.

  4. It's a good thing that he didn't see the papers on his roof. I think he may have actually run Grant over had he seen that :P
