Send Me Love

The other day I saw a woman wearing a bicycle helmet backwards. It was ok, she was riding a bike so she wasn't totally weird. But still it irked me to see her wearing her helmet like that. Not irked in a "Man I'm so angry at her" kind of way, but more in a "Man, I really want to say something to her" way.

I don't think it would have bothered me so much if I hadn't had to see her repetedly. I was stuck in traffic on a local street and she was riding in the same direction as me. So after the initial I would stop and she would catch up. Then I would pull ahead and stop. And she would pass me again. And everytime she would pass me the urge to yell out "Hey! You're helmet's on backwards!" was overwhelming.
