Letter to the Editor (drivers)

I am going to send a letter to the editor about the circle I mentioned yesterday. I have been meaning to do it for about 4 years now since I started working at the Bank and travel the circle on average of 16-20 times a week.

I got fucking cut off again this morning entering the civic circle. Up yesterday's average from a few times a week to at least 3 times a week.

Another case of seeing the car coming on the inside lane about 5-10 over the limit of 25 MPH, seeing that the car in the middle lane was patiently waiting to yield, and KNOWING IN MY HEART that this fucker in the 85 black datsun pickup was not going to yield and then going to double lane change in front of me...

If I hadn't slowed down, he would have t-boned me, and the asshole probably would have thought he had the right away...even though there is a FUCKING YIELD SIGN AND IT HAS BEEN THERE FOR 50 YEARS. Fuck.

Luckily I was not as happy this morning cause I had to run all the way home for something I forgot, and this was on the way back to work, and I just found out I have about 25 hours of work to try and squeeze into the next two 9-10 hour days with no breaks...for no overtime. Luckily because I FUCKING LAYED ON THE HORN ABOUT 5 FEET FROM HIS PASSENGER SIDE DOOR until he was through the circle. About 10 seconds at least. He actually stopped changing lanes for a second before he realized I wasn't going to hit him, and then proceeded with his illegal non-yielding double lane change with no signal. I hope he peed just a little bit. I know that fucker in the passenger seat did. I could see it in his eyes.

Note: also, you must check out Mulgrew's blog. The post about the wine competition and drinking in Seattle is so funny, I feel good about not crashing into that fucker above so that I was around to read it.

I sent a modified version of this to the editor, as promised. Expect to see it here if they print it.

WHICH THEY BETTER!
