popped collar pedestrian

poppolos.jpg

I was stopped at a traffic light this morning, and when my light turned green, a douche bag with a popped collar walked right in front of my car. I understand yielding to pedestrians, but he waited until his light was red before he walked into the street.

Now, I have a list of things that piss me off, and popped collars and assholes who walk against the light are both on it. I waited until he was right in front of my car, and then I laid on the horn. This douche bag put his hands up in the universal “what the fuck?” gesture, and then he decided it would be a good idea to just stay in front of my car.

Obviously, drastic measures had to be taken. I opened my door, stood up, and did the “what the fuck” gesture back at him. The guy’s eyes got big like they would pop out to match his collar, and he practically ran across the street.

Seriously, he ran away from a girl… in an arm brace.

Way to be fierce! That’s awesome! I hate those kind of “entitled” pedestrians. You should have just started inching your car up until the jackass moved. Sorry you had to deal with that.

You should’ve said: I have a brace and I am not afraid to use it.

That is a pretty tough-looking arm brace…

Should have laid his collar down with your bumper.

Out of the loop here: what’s a popped collar?

Kanga– A popped collar is when someone leave their collar standing up like a douchebag. I added a pic to illustrate the douchiness.

You are an education to me in the customs and language of the American. OK, so now I know what a ‘popped collar’ is. But I’m curious about the ‘douche bag’ bit. When I come to drop it into conversation over there next month, will my sister be offended if I refer to her as one? Will my mom beat me around the ears if she hears me use this term? Will it help my defense if I tell them that a librarian introduced me to it??
I’m now off to practise my ‘what the fuck’ gesture.

I found your site via google reader’s “discover”

i love your porn store stories… classic…

bummer about your arm… better (or is it?) it wasnt your toe… i broke my toe last summer… just about the time that our kid was a few months old… i am telling you, walking the dog, while wearing lily, while stumping around in a moon boot is quite the scene.

I saw a 60+ year old broad with a pooped collar at costco last weekend and I wanted to punch her in her old leathery head.

i wear a “popped collar” in the spring with my basketball warm-up gear. i invented the look. of course people try to imitate me. doesn’t work. like imitation crab meat. doesn’t taste good. people trying to do the “popped collar” doesn’t work unless its something i wear. i make it work. haha.

Popped collars rock.
