Yeah yeah, it’s me again. The guy on the bike, and with another tall tard’s tale to tell — but hang on… This time my idiot du jour isn’t a poor pedestrian jogging [1] on the freeway because the sideways suck. Instead it’s an honest-to-goodness hydrant-blocking, bikelane-squatting red-curb-ignoring, engine idling delivery vehicle that I had to detour into traffic to get around on Venice Boulevard.

But rather than a standard vidclip, I decided to dig down a little deeper into the shallow well of my slideshow skills and offer up an annotated sequence of images, the better to showcase the decidedly non-superior parking stylings of the driver of this Superior Anhausner Foods [2] truck, as well as the bus driver who may have saved my life by giving me the room to get around and get on down the road:


P.S. The Quicktime clip [3] is here in case the YouTube embed doesn’t shine through or the resolution is crap and you don’t wanna go view it from its direct page [4].
