I'm very rarely in a hurry in the car, I tend to time crunch myself at home, rather than on the road. That being said, I'm still a speeder. So, when I'm going 50 MPH, and you hurry up to pull out in front of me, just to go 30 MPH, it makes me instantly despise you. Why? Are you a terrible judge of speed? Do you lack good depth perception? Or are you just a 'How did you get here' type of person? Either way, you're killing my gas mileage, and giving me grief. Knock it off.
Bad drivers make me nuts, aabsolutely nuts. Really, how did you pass your driver's test? Who am I kidding, you probably don't even have one! What about insurance? No? Yeah, you're right, it's totally too expensive, as well as completely over-rated. Good call. Jerk.
Have you ever noticed when you're at a red light, people pull their car up if the person in front of them does? It's a length of about 6 inches, and it apparently makes all the difference. I think it's such a normal reaction to do it if the person in front of you does it; It's almost the equivalent to a rain dance. I think it makes people think the light will change faster; That, or with the time they've saved by scooting up those 6 inches they feel that they can now stop for a coffee.
Alongside of really noticing that today, I made a decision in another driving area. I decided to never eat in the car again. Why you ask? Because a woman almost hit me today, and that caused me to choke on my taco. I was turning into the target parking lot, and apparently I didn't get out of her way fast enough. She gunned it into the intersection to make her left before my little car had made it all the way out from in front of her car. I gasped, and with that gasp came some rice and beef; Both of which are still in my lungs I think. She then waved her arms at me. Me? You're upset at me? I just had to pull my car over so I could give myself the Heimlich because you scared me so badly. Don't you wave your arms at me, you little troll. The finger had to get me through, because even if I had stopped and gotten out of my car (which I was mad enough to do), it was a good 5 minutes and half a Mountain Dew before I could verbalize anything other then the death gurgle. So, it wouldn't have been that great of screaming match.
I'm sorry I have to be on the road with these people daily; Just sayin'.
I don't think I can put into words how much I hate other people's driving. I'm pretty sure I spend a good 85% percent of my time in the car (which is alot considering how much I drive) yelling obscenities to the idiots I encounter every few yards, it seems. The other 15% is spent singing/belting along to my mixtapes as a way of channeling my frustrations.
