What the deuce?!

I had an interesting drive home from work tonight.  It produced 2 blog worthy stories in the span of 40 minutes.

#1 -- I was driving in Highland Park to get on the freeway.  The car that was a bit in front of me hit the brakes and then took off fast.  The area is dark so it was hard to see what was going on, but then I saw some guy in the middle of the street throw something at the car.  As I drove by he was struggling to pull something out of the backpack he was holding.  I sped up at that point though not fast enough because as I passed, something hit my car.  I kept going and saw the guy swing his backpack to hit the car behind me.  Good times.

#2 -- I keep going and get off the 5 at Imperial Hwy.  I had to stop at a light in Norwalk (right before the bridge for the transportation center for those who know the area).  As I'm waiting at the light a 50-ish black guy comes out of the transportation center driveway and starts crossing the street in front of me.  When he got in front of my car he stopped and stared at me.  I didn't make eye contact, but noticed that his eyes were all over the place.  He started to walk up to my window so I figured he was going to ask for money.  Wrong.  He decided instead to jump up on the hood of my car.  What the.....?  Then he squatted down and looked in through the window (eyes still all over the place).  He then jumped off and kept walking across the street.

And here I thought I left all the crazies back at work.
