What an idiot...
Today when I was going to get my XM receiver for my HU, the DPW was cleaning up some leaves using some dump trucks and some front loaders. Naturally it backs some traffic up as they do their fall cleaning of the streets. Well anyways, I was directly behind them, and gave them about 100-150 ft of clearance for them to work while cars piled up behind me. Obviously everyone except for one idiot decided he'd be an idiot and pass a bunch of cars and cut in front of me. Well, he went a little too far and one of the workers popped out of the dump truck that was blocking the street and backed over the front end of his car with the front loader. I just sat there and laughed. The guy got out of his car screaming and making a scene. They stopped what they were doing and told the guy to get the heck out of the way and they let the traffic thru. As I passed, I just laughed... and said to myself, "That dude was a mighty fine award of Darwin's Idiot of the Day!" 
All I needed was my bag of popcorn and a soda while I watched that one...
Oh, and they used the front loader to clean/move the debris from the road... all in one shot too.

"Officers said Nieveen, who was dressed as an alcohol breath tester, had slurred speech and had a bottle of vodka, several cans of beer and a half-full bottle of vodka mixed with Mountain Dew in the trunk of his 1992 Ford F-150."
you highlighted the wrong part.....it was mixed with Mt. Dew....WTH? 
OP....great story...would have been icing on the cake if you could have grabbed a picture!

I should've taken some pix or a video... but I was more interested in getting the XM tuner and trying to get on my way. It all happened within the matter of 2 minutes. They didn't mess around.
