All day long I've had this feeling that people were out to annoy me. It's like there's a group of people that have gotten together and decided that today -TODAY - they would try and send me over the edge. And their means of doing so? Bad, bad driving.
Today, I think I've had to deal with every possible driving pet peeve I have. I had the guy that just had to pull right out in front of me while I was driving. He was in such a hurry! And then what did he do? He went about 15 mph under the speed limit until he got to where he needed to go. There wasn't a car behind me...he wouldn't have had to wait long, but no...had to get in front of me.
Then, there's the couple of older women driving in front of me while I was trying to get my daughter home from school. They reached a maximum speed of 25 mph on a 40 mph road. My daughter's in the back screaming because she's exhausted and wants her bed. Meanwhile, they're having a grand time laughing and throwing their heads back in delight (I could see them clearly). I couldn't help but daydream about running them off the road and smothering their faces with a stinky, dirty diaper. Yes, that would have been nice...
And lastly, the ever-present, bad cell phone driver. Some people can drive while on the phone; some cannot. People need to recognize which one they are and accept it. Today, I saw the woman who was just smacking away on her gum, laughing into the phone, and clearly not aware that she was driving a vehicle. We're at a 4-way stop and she just jabbers and chews, jabbers and chews, and I'm thinking -"Alright, lady, if you're not going to take your turn, then I'm going." But, no, she awakens and moves. Fine. GO. Go far away. I HATE bad drivers.
