People Drive Like Shit - Two Examples of Typical Assholes

I've been hanging on to these two stories for a few weeks; wanted to spread out the driving posts a bit.

About three weeks ago, on a Saturday morning, I'm approaching at a stop light onto a very busy 4 lane street. The drive I'm on is not really a street just serving as access to a chain restaurant and a couple small stores. As I am making my way up to the light, which is red, I become suddenly and shockingly aware that someone that was waiting in the main roads left turn lane just nanoseconds before has decided that he CAN NO LONGER WAIT OUT THE LIGHT and guns it for the right turn lane that I am approaching. He runs up the right turn lane, against traffic to blast passed me, forcing me to engage the anti-locks and flies by me on the little side street that I'm on. Remember it goes no where, except to a Steak and Shake, which is where is turns in and heads for the drive thru.

He nearly hit me, to order shitty breakfast food.

Of course he gave me the, "get fucked and get over it look" with which I am familiar having given it a time or ten myself.

I was completely in shock. As I've said before, I drive a lot and I see a lot of really stupid fucking people do really stupid fucking stuff, but this was a first.

As you can imagine, I was sorely tempted to chase his ass down, but my better judgement came over me. What good would it have done? Is he going to change his ways and not think he's the most important mother fucker on the road? No not likely. So I just shrugged, said "fucking asshole" and went on down the road.

I did spend the next few minutes though hoping for and imagining him choking on his food at that same light only to be found later by his family. I know...I think shit like that sometimes.

I probably should have that checked out.

More Evidence That Alot of Motorists are Pukes!

Since this has become a subject near and dear to my heart as of late, I figured I would more often post as to my encounters with what has become seemingly suicidal, homicidal, inconsiderate, inattentive and lackadaisical operation of motor vehicles by bipedal skin-bags. Lots of conclusions I have come to and many more are formulating as to reasons for this, which I will share over time. For tonight though I'll be brief...
Angry runs errands. Angry obeys traffic laws. Angry uses signals. Finally Angry observed not only the world whizzing by him, while he drives at the speed limit, but stops at Walgreens for the wife. Angry sees this guy haul ass into the parking lot and park. The parking lot virtually devoid of lemmings style vehicular idiocy. Park like this he did...

Now I know some of you may say that's not so bad or possibly some shit like that, which would just be straight up justification by your ignorant ass! The facts are these,

People Drive Like Shit - The Introduction

I don't know about you, but I drive a lot. On the order of 25,000 to 35,000 miles per year. The majority of that is city, urban-cycle driving. I drive in all seasons, in all weather and at all times of the day, so I have encountered just about every driving scenario you can imagine over the last 24 years I've been licensed.

All of this experience has lead me to the conclusion that MOST PEOPLE CANNOT FUCKING DRIVE.

So I've decided to take out my frustration in prose, and do a series of articles on people's driving habits, recount for you my recent encounters with idiots on the street and help you better understand why we say the world is full of idiots.

Before I get started though there are a few parameters which should be outlined. First I feel that I need to explain to you my theory that there are only 3 types of people on the street (note I didn't call them all drivers since most of them are not really driving but pointing their cars).

Group 1 are probably the most common. They are what I call the Oblivious Idiots. They are simply concerned with getting from point A to point B and don't appear to have any cognizance that the rest of us are on the road with them. There are many variation of this type but most can be summarized by comparison to the dipshit I encountered last Thursday morning. I was following this guy in a old Lincoln Towncar down a busy two-lane county "highway". You know the type; windy, hilly, no curb or shoulder, lots of drive ways and side streets. Mr. Fuckeverybodyelse spent the majority of his trip straddling the center line,
