Menace


I don't know what it is about the last two days of traffic I have been in that have made me become an absolute menace, but if you've been behind, beside or in front of me, I apologize (well, sorta). You: that guy who doesn't know how to merge despite the seven signs telling you that your lane is ending while you have approximately 2 feet of lane left, I have nothing for you. I probably shouldn't have given you the finger, but you probably shouldn't be hanging out the window yelling at me either. Not safe, You could've lost an arm or something. Ask the 4 cars I let in front of me. And as far as you people in the trash trucks who are pulling out to block lanes traffic during 8am rush hour go, I am sorry I went around you, but had I not already been stopped behind you for 10 minutes and been running late because of it, I would have probably sat there happily for another 10 minutes while you guys ran roughshod over every traffic rule so your fellow trash trucks don't have to pay attention to stop signs. Also, nice timing on picking up the trash. What better time of day to do it on a major thoroughfare other than 8am??

See? told yall I was being an asshole. I almost feel guilty.

Don't feel guilty. People in Austin are sucky drivers.

yeah, but I'm not helping--i'm being one of those sucky drivers..

Nuh uh! You let 4 cars in front of you!

As for shooting him the finger, I've done it with my child in the car. I'm not saying I SHOULD have, but sometimes the stupidity of other drivers overcomes me.

Do these people know how pregnant and hormonal you are right now? Obviously not!

no, but I can tell you if Sam had been in the car with me the last two days, he'd probably make me hand over my license til this kid is OUT.
