I realize that it's been a while since we last named a douche of the week, but the people I generally interact with have a low douchiness factor. Unfortunately, today that was not the case and we have a new Douche of the Time It Takes to Name a New Douche (DotTITtNaND)--the lady in the Ford Taurus who ran a red light an nearly ended my blogging career.
As I normally do every evening, I chose the eco-friendly, shared-ride CTA bus as my mode of transport. I got off the bus at my normal stop and, after looking both ways, crossed the street at the crosswalk--I had the "walk" signal. But, I saw a tan car headed toward the light without slowing down. So, I quickly jumped back as this lady in the Ford Taurus blew the light missing me by about a foot (~0.3 meters for our international viewers). I shouted some things I'm not totally proud of and made a hand gesture that I also stand by.
I was incensed, and I still am as I write this. That a-hole nearly put me in the hospital because she was in a hurry or too stupid to follow traffic signals. There were 5 cars around that were all stopped and I was in clear sight. Lady, you're a douche.

I'm happy you're ok :)
Thanks. That's what my mom said too. I just don't want to let down our fans. What if I had lost my blogging hands?
I'm sure that blogging would be the first thing you worried about if you lost your hands.
Stupid time difference, you beat me to it dr. bj! Whatever happened to "the box" being the DOTW?
I think Dr. BJ should write a guest column naming "the box" DOTW. I didn't have time to write it up between vacations, but I'll see what I can do next week.
