Drivers Beware...I Am Out There

(Pictured: Random Canadian dudes I saw while driving.)
I have nearly a 30 minute commute to work...not so bad; it provides me with plenty of time to get a lot of singing practice in. It is crucial I prepare during the week just in case I come across a decent karaoke bar. But, I have to admit I have a major case of road rage - seriously, if you see some crazy girl hollering at you, flipping the bird it just might be me. And to apologize just in case it was you I was calling a bleeping idiot - truly, I am sorry. It is nothing personal. I just don't like people who get in my way or drive really slow.

So, here it comes. DUM, dum, dum...list time!

My top driving annoyances:

1.) Two words: STOP SIGNS!!! Is it just me or do drivers begin to break down at stop signs...they like freak out.

Who goes? who waits? It all seems confusing! One guy will inch forward like he is about to go. You wait patiently giving him the right-of-way. Then he stops, and waves you to go. Gee golly george, make a decision and stick with it buddy!

2.) Tailgaters: I have been rear-ended twice because of these bleeping dumasses (and yes, I meant to write dumass).For the record: Riding someone's booty is not going to make them go faster. Especially, if there is a car in front of them. DUH!

3.) Big Rig Trucks: I mean who really likes them on the road? They drive slow, and always seem to bombard the road when I am running late for work.

4.) Weaver in and outers: You know those drivers who weave around lanes left and right? The funny thing is they will pass you up and later on the road you caught up with them. Kind of defeated the point of all that ruckus they were causing the first place.

5.) Dangerous jaywalkers: Okay, I am all for giving pedestrians the right-of-way, but if they are randomly running into traffic - they are stepping into war zone; let the best man win! (They have cross walks for a reason)

6.) Police Officers: I am usually good about abiding by driving rules, and the two speeding tickets on my belt have toned down my speedy racer tendencies, but I always get nervous when I see a cop. I suddenly pay extra attention to every maneuver I make. The funny thing is I am never doing anything wrong in the first place, but they scare me coming out of no where like they do.

7.) Break huggers: People who step on their breaks constantly when in traffic; especially, those who do it at the last minute....annoying!

Anyway, those are just a few of my driving annoyances. To those of you who don't do any of the above - HIGH FIVE. You are saved from a "friendly" wave in traffic from "The Bear."
