Crazy Driver, part II

I don't get it. What's with you people? All I want to do is walk to the Farmers Market, buy some things, and walk home. Why do you stupid drivers insist on doing stupid things in front of me? Can't you wait til I'm gone? No, apparently not. You do your stupid things, forcing me to take your picture and discuss what you did wrong with you. And in front of Ethel, sheesh.


Yesterday it was this lady. She turned the wrong way onto a one way street (a clearly marked one way street) so she could sneak into a parking lot that she would have otherwise had to go a half mile out of her way to get into. Well, that certainly justifies your deviation from the law. You saved a half mile, which would be, uhm, let's assume you get 30 miles per gallon (though the way you drive, maybe that's wrong?), 1/60 of a gallon, or 5 cents? How about if I give you the nickel and you drive in the same dirction as everyone else next time?

I should be thankful that you didn't call me an asshole like last week's winner did, huh?

Safe car, unsafe driver

This guy was too funny. In the distance, you can see a traffic light at an intersection. This guy was coming from the left, planning on turning on the road he's now parked on.

The light was red, so rather than stopping at the light and then turning right on red (or the more traditional, brief pause at the light and then turning without looking), he just cut through the parking lot; in one driveway and out the other.

But then he pulled over and parked, in front of the garage door and another exit from the same parking lot. Duh! Idiot. Right, it's a Volvo, that's Swedish for "The rules don't apply to me."

I suggested he move his car to avoid getting a ticket (I was going to call the police :), he said "no one is going to use this driveway." Correct, no one is going to use it because your car is blocking it.

Rather than call the police right away, I took his picture - demonstrating he's a more mature person, he didn't chase after me and beat the crap out of me; instead he just called me an asshole, and then got in his car and moved it :)

Stupid Drivers

Yesterday was one of those "I should have stayed home days." Other people on the road seemed out to get me. Take this guy for example:


I was minding my own business puttering down the freeway in the right lane doing my usual 57mph (hey - I get great mileage, leave me alone) and this guy comes up behind me. Apparently 57mph isn't good enough for him (did I mention I was in the right lane), cuz he went blowing around me. Didn't matter to me, except that he beeped and gestured at me.

Uhm, hello. I'm in the right lane. As you demonstrated, there was plenty of room to go around me. Was it really necessary to beep at me? No, it wasn't. That's why I gave you the finger (because your beeping scared the crap out of me)

A mere 9 hours later, I'm on my way home, once again puttering along in the right lane, about to get off the freeway when this guy appears:



You know the type - driving in the left lane until the last possible minute then cuts over into the exit lane. Jerk. Did it really mean that much to you to be in front of me? There was plenty of room behind me you could have cut into, but instead, you cut in between me and the car in front of me where there wasn't enough room. And that's why you got the finger.

Were you wondering what I was doing when I stopped behind you at the next two traffic lights (I guess cutting in at the last minute didn't really save you any time as we sat through the same traffic lights, huh?) I was taking your picture so I could post it here. Good quality too, don't you think? In the full size image, your license plate is very clear. To bad you don't have one of those "How's my driving?" bumper stickers..
