I WAS late for work on Tuesday after driving around the streets for at least 20 minutes looking for an infuriatingly elusive parking spot.

Can anyone tell me why Tuesday is always the worst day of the week on the roads? I've noticed that for years.

While circling the area it was obvious one fine citizen had been on the prowl the previous night wielding a hammer or some other instrument of destruction.

There were several spots, including Boughey Street and Buchanan Street, where it was apparent a car window had been shattered to smithereens.

I don't understand what pleasure our brain dead yobs derive from causing so much trouble, heartache and expense for people who are probably no better of than themselves - but use their money a bit more wisely!
