Old Man Strikes Old Flagman in Bethlehem Township

I love when someone is so impatient that they NEED to get JUST in front of YOU so that they can be ONE car length ahead of you in traffic.

That .5 seconds is really going to matter to them when they get home and they have that much more time to get fatter.

Seriously, unless you or your wife is giving birth or you cut your penis off and you have it on ice, RELAX.

I understand, we get emotional when we drive. It’s anonymous, pretty much. I mean, what’s worse than cutting off a car whose driver you can’t see only to get stuck at the next red light with them; embarrassed because you can now see their face?

A man, who Tuesday morning tried to drive his white van through a Bethlehem Township, Pa., construction site,  struck a flagman on a road crew painting lines on the highway, police said. 

The driver attempted to flee from the wreck in front of the new First Commonwealth Federal Credit Union at William Penn Highway and Bethman Road, according to police and a witness who said she and two others jumped in front of the van to stop it.

Township police Chief Dan Pancoast said the driver, Thomas Catanzaro, 66, of the 400 block of First Avenue in Bethlehem, became frustrated at the wait and asked the flagman to move orange traffic cones so he could leave. 

“The flagman told him to be patient,” Pancoast said, “but he tried to leave, striking the flagman and knocking him to the ground, then he tried to flee.”

Pancoast identified the victim as 62-year-old Randolph Pfaff, of Allentown. He was taken to St. Luke’s Hospital in Fountain Hill.

The chief said Catanzaro will be charged with leaving the scene of an accident involving an injury. Reached by phone Tuesday afternoon, Catanzaro declined to comment on the incident. Source

Yeah, that’s the real picture up there.

SERIOUSLY, where is a 66 year old man in a hurry to get to? His funeral? Chill out. 

I mean, sure, there is no guarantee that the sun is going to rise tomorrow, or that your BINGO game is going to start early, but at least realize that nothing is important as a life…

Old people…. can’t live with em, they can’t live without Ensure.
