Got in the car Friday with my kids. My phone connects to Bluetooth and automatically starts playing the last thing I was listening to 
:pinch: Warning: Spoiler!

I frantically turned it off.

Then my five year old pipes up from the back, "What was that?" 

I told him it was a Torah shuir and ignored all further questions.

Gosh, friggin kids, always being nosy and needing to know all manner of stuff. (Like “Totty, why can you say [insert slightly off color word] and not me?”)

TYH for the wife not being there.

Are you kidding? Imagine the grouching that would’ve led to! I can only dream of such pure grumping.

Maybe she does learn Gemara!
Tell her you want eggplant and see if she doesn't give it to you.

Chances are that this has been grouched about already (whether on or off the official Grouchery) but I really must address dumb, bad drivers. 
I mean, you’d think they know how driving works, how the rules the road go. But noooo. They show up and completely mess up the flow of traffic. Seriously. How can it be that, in the entire world, yours truly is the best and only smart driver?
I feel that there should be some sort of test, like a qualifier, to ensure that people know what they’re doing being the wheel. Oh, wait… Maybe just an IQ test? Whatever it is, SOMETHING!!!!!

Thank you! You just saved me from  (probably a lot more than) a potential 10 months of ignorance.

Ask YKW. It won't help to take an IQ test, or a cognitive test. They were just wearin' their hats, they were. So, what we need is the hat police, or make the roofs of the cars so low that a hat doesn't fit in. Or just plain ol' tickets for drivin' while wearin' 'em. 
Oh, I'm just wonderin', I saw in the news today about a guy goin' the wrong way on street in ___________, all while screamin' at the others, was that you? The article mentioned somethin' about strings flyin' out of the window...

Okay, I’ll officially endorse anybody who’ll prosecute for DWH (Driving While Hatted).  To your second point, everybody ELSE was driving the wrong way!
