Midnight Moron, October 6, 2011

Alright... I just can't be too hard on this guy, because he's so clearly drunk. Why else would he have parked 1) in a lane of traffic on Pristina's main thoroughfare, 2) in front of a crosswalk, 3) under a "no parking" sign, 4) next to some of the only barriers on that street that clearly attempt to prevent parking, and 5) across the street from the police station? I mean: this is pretty bad right? It can't be just that he's a self-entitled prick who thinks that his job with EULEX (that's license plate number 0085) gives him license to do whatever the fuck he wants.

No... I'm going to say that this poor sap was just 6) too drunk to be parking, let alone driving. Perhaps the fact that he's parked across the street from a pub that's popular with internationals provides some supporting evidence for this hypothesis. Well, he might have racked up a new record of 6 ways to be a moron, but I just can't be mad at the poor lush.

What's that you say? Maybe he had just had a midnight errand at the EULEX complex that sits on that very corner? Forgot his coat, or a report that he wanted to read, so he stopped by the office with the private parking lot entrance not ten feet from where he chose to park? No, let's give him more credit than that. Let's at least assume that he was too drunk to reason, not that he has no ability to reason whatsoever.

Safe travels, moron: sleep well, and may your inebriated dreams be every bit as untroubled by the rule of law as your waking hours appear to be.
