06/29/2002 entry: "ROAD RAGE!"

I admit it, I have road rage. I'm not the most fun person to be in a car with. Well... unless you find my road rage amusing. Or unless I'm not pissed off at anything. Although that's subjective.

Anyhow, I got sooo mad today on the way home because I was on this 2 way street, 1 lane each way. And I was doing the speed limit, which was like 55. And this asshole in some kind of SUV actually PASSED ME. Why? So I start at it, tailing him until he turned, swearing the whole way. By the way, I curse like a sailor when I'm mad. I try not to do it so much when someone else is in the car (especially my 16 year old sister) but I was alone, so there was no limit to my vulgar vocabulary.

Bah! I despise SUVs. And stupid drivers who don't think 55 is fast enough.

Luckily, I have a limit to my road rage. I won't actually endanger myself or my car. I just want to scare/piss off the person who pissed me off.

Another thing that really gets to me is when a lane is ending, and people speed up and take it right to the end JUST to get in front of everyone. And there are a bunch of places around here that happens at. You know these people are from here and that they know that lane is ending. And that they probably do this ALL the time. So, I try my hardest not to let them do what they're trying to do. I'd rather run them off the road. It's funny when they have the nerve to beep at you. I just give them the finger and keep driving, all the while calling them filthy names. Haha I'm making myself sound so bad.

Oh, and I'm also not one of those drivers who uses the car horn. I somehow forget it's there. I just yell. That's how my mom is too. One day, I hope I get to really lay on the horn at somebody. That would require me remembering it's right there to use.

Some friends and I were talking about how great it would be if you had a foghorn sound for a car horn. Like, you're in this regular car, and then when someone does something stupid, you blast it and they freak out. The look on their face would be priceless. Either that, or having a loudspeaker on top of your car, so you could really stick it to them.

Not that I'm a great driver who never makes mistakes. Wow, no. But some people are just assholes, and you know it. I'm just a little ditzy sometimes when I'm distracted.
