Knot-heads

       So you think that you’re the only one on the road? A word to the wise… MOVE IT OR LOSE IT BUSTER!!!! There is nothing more annoying than someone driving 10 mph under the speed limit when you’re right behind them. Yes, I know I look like an idiot waving my arms and yelling things you can’t even hear, but that means you’re doing something that’s bothering me. I understand there are valid reasons why you might be driving so slowly. For example, driving slowly:  helps you save gas... I've heard, helps you save lives... clearly, and possibly helps you save your sanity - I would have to agree with this one. Driving fast kind of makes you wild, because it forces you to experience some road rage. Or maybe you're trying to multitask? Like this guy :) Naughty, Naughty.

 

In my opinion driving fast does make you insane because you are at such a high risk of harming or even killing yourself or others. People who have no conscience, no guilt whatsoever, are willing to do stupid things without worrying about the consequences, and I am not okay with that.

                                                                                 

       So you think that it’s smart to move over to the fast lane while going the speed limit?  Really? Are you that stupid?  Obviously people are going to go over 60 mph in the fast lane - that's why it's called the "fast lane". On a daily basis I don’t go below 65 mph on the highway:D Shhhhh don’t tell. But again I may be just letting my irritated side lash out. Sorry. I actually did some research though, and it states that driving slower than everyone else can cause problems with certain drivers such as road rage and aggressive driving.

       So you think that you don't need to use your signal? Mhmm. If only I could express my disdain and reach out and smack you.  "According to Response Insurance, a national car insurer, 42% of those drivers say they don't have enough time, 23% admit they are just plain "lazy," 17% don't signal because when they do, they forget to turn it off, 12% admit they are changing lanes too frequently to bother, 11% say it is not important, 8% say they don't signal because other drivers don't, and perhaps most disturbing 7% say forgoing the signal "adds excitement to driving."

I cannot believe that 23% of people don't use their blinkers, because THEY ARE LAZY! Oh right I forgot, this is America. What was I thinking? More than a third of adults in America are obese. I know because I checked the statistics! How hard is it to move one tiny little finger and touch the signal? Please tell me. I know you have arms because you wouldn't be allowed to drive if you didn't. Blinkers not only tell the cars around where you're going, but they also help you know where you're intending to go. So use them!

       So you think that if you inch forward on a red light that the lights will count down faster? 20…19…18… Oh wait that’s Sally… 7… 6… 5… Sorry sweetie it doesn’t work that way. If you even think about touching that pedal again I’m going to chop off your offending foot and cram it down your throat. I guess these drivers figure they'll be ready when the light changes. Or maybe they want to win the fantasy race that's inside their head with the car next to them:P. Right. I guess I'll never understand.

       So you think that getting in the right hand turning lane - when you want to go straight through the intersection, thereby blocking millions of drivers wanting to turn right, is great?  Are you aware of anyone else on the road?  How selfish can you be? I loathe those people. Not only am I turning most of the time, but so are the seven other cars behind me, and we all hate you. Let me tell you a little story. "One day, this woman (let's say she's my mom) was stopped at a light. A red light to be specific. The car in front of her wasn't turning. Understandable. It was at an intersection. Anyhoo, this car in front of us was going straight, and we were turning right. Well you see, the light stayed red for a while and we (my mom and I) were in a BIG hurry. If you know my family... you know that we don't cuss. Period. One thing that we like to do though is make up new words. In this case, it wasn't a new word, but it was a new word for stupid drivers:). Knot-heads. Yep that's the word my mom used. Knot-head!" To this day we use it.

       So please, next time you're driving remember me:D and my rant about stupid drivers and their idiotic driving. I could be in the car next to you, and I'm fairly sure I do not want to die any time soon.
