Don't Try This at Home Or On the Sidewalk

If you're like me - perish the thought - then, perhaps, you've caught yourself...

...wondering why people who spend over $20,000 for a car can't afford a turn signal.

...wishing you weren't the only one who (almost) does damage to their vehicle just to get out of the way of the ambulance... and all the other people who could care less... until they are the ones in the back of it, on life-support.

...rolling your windows up when the 'hero' in the 'thump, thump' machine in the next lane pulls up next to you... praying he'll get the hint... but, it usually has the opposite affect.

...turning the radio off/down when you're lost... hoping that you'll 'hear' your way in the right direction.

...keeping proper distance between you and the vehicle ahead of you... but some people treat it like an invitation from you and half of the county to see how many cars can pull in front of you before you turn off this road, onto another.

...wishing that truckers would not presume to play 'chicken' with your graces, as they see you coming and think nothing of going slower than my mother in turning around or pulling out onto a major thoroughfare.

...not believing how many people, since the federal election, feel freer to give you the middle finger or honk at you... when you don't drive at or 10 miles above the speed limit, while in the right lane (note: did not say LEFT).

...feeling confused as to why people approaching you - at night - leave their high-beams on, even after you flick yours three times - that is, until you blow your horn and start weaving in and out of your lane

...not that I have tried such things... with my wife in the car.
