Stupid Idiots #1:
---1) We receive mail saying we must pay a ticket for running a red light in a completely different US state at 2am two weeks ago, when we haven't been to that state in over a year, and have never been in that town.
---2) They provided 'evidence;' a bad-quality traffic camera photo of a license plate with a similar, but wrong, license number - meaning, some idiot confused a 'Q' with a 'D.'
---3) They will suffer our legal wrath.

Stupid Idiots #2:
---1) My mom falls down two stairs that lead into a sunken living room at a house she pet-sits at. The entire house is riddled with other, invisible, hazardous elements for which we have tripped on and run into and hurt ourselves. Stupid architect.
---2) Falling down the stairs breaks my mom's fibula, tibia, ankle, and sprains the other ankle. She will be in a cast for at least two months.
---3) She got surgery, and had four screws implanted in her leg to keep her tibia and fibula together. She will need surgery again to take two of the screws out.
---4) I need to tend to her every need, since she can only walk with crutches. It doesn't help that my dad has no sense of humor and has to make every little tiny thing into a serious, stressing moment, and will start yelling and freaking out about the puniest situations.
---5) My family and I can no longer go on vacation this summer. No Ireland, no California.

Stupid Idiots #3:
---1) Our dog recently went to the vet, and while there, they kept him in the same room as a dog who had kennel cough.
---2) Now, our dog has it. So does one of our cats.
---2) It wouldn't be a big deal if my friend didn't trust me to take care of their dog at our house for the week. If my friend's dog catches it, I probably won't be paid.

Stupid Idiots #4:
---1) My sister and I ordered Chinese food to try and forget our troubles.
---2) Upon coming out of the store with our food paid for and such, I see my dad park next to us.
---3) Thinking we didn't have plans for dinner due to his act of ignoring us, he ordered some too.
---4) We now have twice as much Chinese food, and suddenly it's not appetizing at all.

Stupid Idiots #5:
---1) My dad and I go to the art store to get a few photos framed. Afterwards, we get in our car and I start driving down the parking lane isle. I wait at the end, to yield to traffic, and suddenly the car parked to our right starts backing out.
---2) We yell and scream and wave our arms at it, but it continues, and backs right into us. The driver comes out and says he's handicapped.
---3) Although this old handicapped guy -was- in a handicapped parking spot, my dad glared at him and stated the obvious: "Just because you're handicapped doesn't mean you shouldn't LOOK WHERE YOU'RE GOING."
---4) There was no damage, and since we were so tired and stressed from aforementioned Stupid Idiots, we told him it was no big deal and left.

It's only been, what, three days? And that's not all of it, that's just the most memorable stuff. This is why I've been lacking in drawing lately. It seems that all the stupid people on this planet are out to get us.
