Nazi? NAZI?!
All this week I have been going home around 12:30 PM to let the dogs out and play with them a bit before turning around and coming back to work for a 2PM meeting. It doesn’t matter that ever day I’ve come back to find the 2PM meeting pushed to the next day. On my way back to work I hear a bicyclist across the street say something. I can’t tell what he said or who he was talking to so I ignored it and moved on.
A little while later he gets ahead of me because he runs the red light I’m stopped at. Shortly after the light switches to green I caught up with him and he was going pretty slow so I slowed down. Since I ride in the bike lane most of the time I have to wait for openings in traffic to go around. Traffic opened slightly and he hopped into the traffic lane so I took the opportunity to pass him in the bike lane when he yelled out “Nazi!” to me.
I ignored it and went on because I needed to make it to the meeting but it really pissed me off and I really wanted to ask him :WTF?!” I can’t even figure out why he might have so casually thrown that out there. The best I can come up with is he thinks my scooter helmet looks like a nazi helmet, but even so, WTF?! My helmet only has a brim in front and it’s silver and sparkly. I wish I had the time to stop and confront him. I didn’t even know I had this button waiting to be pressed.
