Lucky Drivers

The following people that drove like idiots/assholes in front of me in the tiny window of 15 minutes I was on the road today, you are lucky I was in a semi-good mood. And don't have a magic tire-popping device, like a .44
  • The person that didn't yield from the inside lane around the circle. Happens every week, but still pisses me off.
  • The person who pulled into the intersection and then didn't switch lanes to get out of the intersection when their light turned red, blocking me during an entire green light.
  • The person who blew through a red on the next green light after the intersection was unblocked by said dumb bitch, and amazingly didn't hit me or the person coming the other way who just had to sit through an entire green light. Just so you know, that light wasn't even CLOSE to yellow. It was red at least 50 yards before you got there. Fucker.
  • The car that went straight from the right hand turn lane, cutting me off as I was going straight. Again, this happens at least a few times a week on this road next to my work, but never ceases to amaze me.
  • The car that crossed 3 lanes on a one way road to get into the left turn lane in front of me.
  • The next car that crossed 2 lanes, realized they also needed to turn left, and blocked all 3 lanes. You are welcome for letting you in.
  • The NEXT CAR that crossed 2 lanes, same story. DID I NOT HAVE MY LIGHTS ON? You are also lucky I am a nice person and let you in.

This may not seem like a lot, but remember that I drive at most 3 miles to and from work and did very little other driving today. I drove about 6 blocks to my wife's work, and Nate drove to lunch. This amount of stupid/inconsiderate people in less than 20 minutes worth of driving is very close to a new record for me.

Speaking of which, Nate got a dirty look from some old guy who didn't think we should turn in front of him while the car in front of him was also turning. Is it a full moon today? What the fuck is wrong with people?

It must be sun spots, cuz most of that happened to me, too. I drive all of a mile and a half to work. Mo-rons.

BTW, like your blog. Been lurking a couple of weeks or so. Hope you don't mind. Oh wait, that's the whole point of blogs. Nevermind.

Never under-estimate the power of stupid people in cars. And never feed them after midnight.

alright, a new lurker. We lost some the last few months as the three of us got swamped with work.

Longview traffic sucks. It's been getting worse every year, whenever I do have to go back there.
