  Tech-no-no-no!

  Setting:  Stoplight after work

  So there I am, sitting at this intersection, waiting for the light to turn green, and blasting my "angry white girl feminist music."  The windows are down, and I'm tired because it's after work.  This car stops next to me in the turn lane blasting what can only be described as "Barbie Spears techno crap."  So I turn to glare at these people, and as it turns out, the occupant in the car next to me is not an SUV loaded with hyper teenage girls fresh out of their sophomore year.  No, no, no, it's this guy who looks to be midway through college.

  We make eye contact.

  I burst out laughing.

  He turns off his music.

  "Hello there!"

  Me:  "Hi."

  "Are you laughing at me?"

  Me:  "No, just your music."

  "What, you don't like techno?"

  The light turns green, we both edge forward.

  I shake my head:  "No, not really."

  His car starts to turn.

  "Don't worry.  I'm fucking drunk.  It's okay."
