One Hand on the wheel...

And one hand on the horn, and one hand on the eyeliner, and another hand on the cell phone.

Yes. This is yet another rant about the idiot drivers in South Florida. Here is what I saw on my 30 minute drive to work this morning. None of these incidents surprised me.

1) Someone coming out of their driveway couldn't wait for me to pass. Pulls out in front of me forcing me to swerve to avoid hitting them.

2) On 8th street, lady in the left lane. Swerving and riding her breaks. I am behind her thinking, "What the fuck?" I finally see why. She is concentrating on putting on her eye liner in the rear view mirror! I changed lanes, drove past her, and cut her off so incredibly bad that when I looked in my mirror she had completely stopped. I hope I poked her eye out.

3) Trying to merge onto the highway. I have my blinker on to signal that, "Hey I need to move over." You think the lady in the next lane let me in? Hells no! Not until I began to swerve erratically like a crazy driver did she ease up making room for me to move over.

3) Getting off the highway. I have one car in front of me. We make our left turn onto Sunset Drive. There is a traffic light about 100 yards down the road. The light is green. And what do you think the guy in front of me does? He comes to a complete stop! I honk at him, because, "Hey buddy THE LIGHT IS GREEN, GO!!" He has the nerve to look into his rear view mirror and give me the "WHAT?" look and hand gesture. As if!

4) Then again. Driving down Sunset. Another car pulls out in front of me, then doesn't accelerate. If you are gonna jump out in front of me, then hit the gas! This was a nice ass brand new F150 so I KNOW it had the power to go. 5) So I finally make it to the Sunset and US1 intersection. Light goes green and we don't move. Waiting, waiting, waiting.... I look way ahead and some idiot hasn't moved. All the traffic in the right lane is zipping past her. You think she'd notice. Nope. So again, I lay on the horn. I wonder why I had to honk. I was like 10 cars behind her. Why could any of them take the initiative and have the cojones to honk at the idiot. She finally went and I just made it through the light.

Serenity now, or Insanity later.

hey now... lay of off sunset drive. my grandparents live right on sunset and they are extremely old and can't see or drive for shit. If you see any Lincoln town cars just staaaayyy away... very likely to induce a bad case of road rage.
