Billy here.
I’m alone for most of my day. I like it that way. It gives me time to think about things I like to think about. World domination, civil unrest, new ways to punish bad Landlubber guests, all together slightly evil things, and etc.
Most of the time I’m driving in endless figure eights, to and from markets to villas and villas to markets. On occasion the very freeing enjoyment of my rather dark daydreaming is shattered by the ever growing reality of how badly everyone drives and parks their cars on this island.
My side view mirror has been decimated multiple times by passerby who cut edges around the various corners I am forced to take on the daily to deliver things. Come to think of it, NONE of our delivery vehicles have intact passenger side mirrors and by no fault of our own. We HUG turns like homeless kittens.
Random panels across the side of my car have been bludgeoned by parking lot heathens too scared to face me after bashing into my unattended delivery steed, the Red Dragon (my RAV4), fleeing the scene before I return in cowardice.
I can’t even park on the road i live on without incident!
When we returned from vacation this past year I found new dents on Red Dragon and like an angry parent whose child was punched in the eye by a neighborly bully I had to walk around with a broken piece of my wheel well and ask adult people that live on my street, “Did you do this?”
One gentlemen finally fessed up to the fender bender but due to inconsistencies in our spoken languages he just smiled and weirdly tried to put the obviously destroyed piece back on our car. After getting it to stay on briefly he just continued smiling as he walked away only for it to fall off again moments later.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not totally innocent either. I have my moments and been known to tailgate a tourist going below 18 mph on a straight away myself from time to time but as far as scraping paint with strangers, I truly put the Virgin in Virgin Islands (knock on wood).
Regardless of my actions, I’ve had it so here are some inventions I’ve patented (in my mind) to help bring peace back to the automotive anarchy that this island has become plagued with.
The “Annie are you Okay” passenger side mirror:
Driving on island is a combat sport. I know better than most since I basically drive all day. People don’t like sharing the pavement with oncoming traffic and the result is obliterated passenger side mirrors.
With the “Annie are you Okay” side view mirror, you too can instill everlasting trauma into these roadway hogs of the solid yellow hash line. This mirror is actually a mannequin head that screws into the former home of your now displaced side view mirror. The mouth has a mirror installed so it does act as a useful replacement for your old mirror and it does fit the guidelines for renewable vehicle registration.
Where the real fun comes into play is when someone hits Annie! Annie’s head has a contact based speaker system that lets out a blood curdling scream for up to 10 seconds after being decapitated from your passenger side door frame and a blood bag attached at the base for added realism.
Watch as your passerby shudder in fear and contemplate the quickest and easiest way off island to avoid vehicular manslaughter charges as Annie’s bloody head rolls down the road shrieking.
Comes in male mannequin head as well. Both the “Adam are you Okay” model and “Annie are you Okay” models come in a myriad of hair, skin and eye colors for added realism.
“BACDAFUK Off Me” Parking Spacers by BACDAFUK UP Inc.
Here on St. John people are not only bad at driving, but parking too. If I had a dollar for how many times I arrived back to my perfectly parked car to find less than 10 centimeters between my car and the car next to me, I wouldn’t have to deliver groceries anymore. There is nothing more aggravating than trying to contort my body across my passenger seat in the midday island heat just to be able to get into my drivers seat. Worse yet is when 2 cars decide to sandwich me in on either side and I have to crawl in through my hatchback. Crazy but true!
Well worry no more. These easy to attach spring loaded bumpers will clip onto any make or model vehicles wheel wells. Made of carbon fiber, each rod is outfitted with a galvanized steel fist on the business end of things. Just set the proximity meter to a desired range of comfort to re-enter your vehicle on either side and go about your day without the worry of arriving back to your car sandwiched into a ménage a trois of extremely limited spatial concern from strangers.
If anyone decides to park within the range you set, their car and/or their knee caps will be pummeled repeatedly into submission by the rapid and relentless punching power of the BACDAFUK Off Me piston system. The first few jabs are a warning. After the first 10 seconds if your ‘too close for comfort’ neighbor doesn’t decide to move, stage 2 will kick in and send both paint and/or flesh flying and won’t stop till the sensors are no longer breached.
By all 4 BACDAFUK Off Me Parking Spacers and the lovely people at BACDAFUK UP Inc. will throw in their front and rear bumper units from their “Double Park and Find Out!” series.
Batteries not included. Any injuries sustained during use or vehicular damage is solely responsible to the purchaser of BACDAFUK UP Products.
