Here are four short tales a sucky drivers I've been witness to and encountered.
Numero uno:
I'm heading to school in the morning. I need to take a right and I'm on one of those little curved things that branches form the main road so that people don't get stuck behind others who are just turning. A few cars go by and then there is a LARGE space before the next car comes. I think sweet, I've can go. I begin to pull into the lane of the street I'm turning onto. The street I'm turning onto has two lanes, therfore there's one for people coming from the left and right, of course people from the left always swing into the far one before they even reach the road so I wait.
You remember that LARGE gap, well the lady driving the car at the end of that gap, sees me begin to pull into the streets and apparently has a melt down at the sight of it. She guns it, whips around the turn and nearly runs me off the road. I go up onto the curb a bit and bent the rims of my tire. Again, this lady, about fifteen feet away from the line where one stops on red freaks out, accelerates, takes the turn going forty and swings into the lane I'm pulling into. Oh and the best part is this nasty look she gives me afterwards. Instead of speeding up so she can get on her precious way without me apparently obstructing it, she then slows down to a near stop, looks over at me with her mouth hanging half open in disgust and then guns it up the street only to come to a schreeching halt at a red light, nearly hitting the car in front of her....bitch.
Numero dos:
Ah, what a gem this one was. ON a scale from diamond to turd, this one is the turd of the turd.
I'm heading out of town back to my house, it's been a pretty good day, of course there's still quite a few people on the road. I'm in the right lane going a little over the speed limit, there's loads of people in the left passing me as they're rushing to get home so I can't get into that lane. I pull up to a stop light with a few cars in front of me. Now I don't know what was running through this womans head at the time or if she just was felt like pissing me off was okay because I'm younger than her but whatever.
The light turned the cars started going. She stayed put for a bit longer than neccesary. I think no big, maybe she was switching radio stations and didn''t see. Boy did I get it wrong. We hadn't gone twenty feet when she started to tap her breaks. I slowed thinking maybe a deer had just run in front of her. Nope, no deer, she just tapped it a few time then went about another twenty or thirty feet and did it again.
You know that feeling you get, it's a strange sensation that you can't quite place. It starts as a small thrumming in the back of your head and slowly grows louder and begins to go from thrumming to banging erractically. It then becomes painful to the point where you want to start screaming until all the world knows your pain and then you want to choke the life out of someone just to prove how painful it is. Such is the pain this turd of a turd lady caused.
I ended up going about five miles stuck behind this lady until I finally reach a point where I can pass her, but it doesn't get that far quite yet. Before I can reach my salvation there is an intersection. The light turns green the cars ahead move forward, this lady taps her breaks and then moves into the intersection and STOPS. I can see her head tilted back in laughter through the back window and then she ever so slowly begins to move through the rest of the intersection. It then comes to an off ramp and she begins speeding mercilessly down it. I'm pissed and so before she's out of sight I speed up (I have to go about 80 to reach and stay with her) As I pass by I flip her the bird and curse, I think quite loudly enough to be heard several miles away.
Whew, I would have rather strangled her, but that will have to do.
Three:
Finally, one that doesn't involve jerks, just people who probably shouldn't be driving.
I was on the highway heading into town, when it suddenly seems I'm advancing quite quickly on this old whale of a car. I check, nope going the speed limit. I pull into another lane and pass by and as I look in it's and old guy driving with his wife in the passenger seat. He's squinting and leaning over his steering wheel and turning it back and forth quite a bit.
I get up to the stop light, it turns green I go and then FWOOM! The same car I saw only a minute ago going about 30 in a 55 is now going about 70 in a 45 (the speed limit changed as the highway entered into town). If you can't drive at a consistant speed don't drive at all!
Four:
This one's short and a bit funny.
My moms driving and I'm in the passenger seat. We're on the highway and we pull up next to a van. The van is packed! It's so full that the driver actually had the seat so far forward that his/her (can't remember the gender) body was touching the steering wheel, and the seat was inclined forward so that his/her nose was literally about an inch away from the windshield. Try to imagine that. It was hilarious and we were cracking up about it the whole way home.
