frickity frick, i still didn't go look for a job yesterday, oh well. i did go to class yesterday, that is a small victory.
well, besides the fact that I WAS ALMOST LATE FOR MY FUCKING CLASS. It took me almost an hour to get their because the world is filled with FREAKING MORONS. how is it that so many people have failed to grasp the simple concept of driving???? i mean shit, it isn't that hard. you get into one lane and travel along a little above the speed limit. if you have to change lanes or turn, you put on your signal, look to see if someone is their, and if no one is their you change lanes or turn. you do not do such things as:
1. run into people
2. run into other cars
3. think it is acceptable to go 10 miles under the speed limit no matter where you go
4. stop for no reason in the middle of traffic.
5. drive in two lanes
6. drive in two lanes because you forgot your turn at a stop light, conveniently blocking all traffic through the intersection while you try to make your turn.
7. talk on your cell phones and stop paying attention to the fact that you are in a 1.5 ton chunk of metal travelling at 40 mph towards a row of stopped cars at a red light.
other things i have noticed. nothing can screw up traffic and make driving more dangerous than the presence of a cop. people see a cop and suddenly slam on the breaks until they are going at least 5 under the limit. everyone behind them is forced to slam on the breaks, and our now pissed because they can't see the cop, they just realize they are going 5 under the limit for no apparent reason. when the cop turns, this action continues for at least a mile. the presence of a cop disturbs both directions of traffic, making an entire 3 mile section of road way a hellish death trap in both directions. I thought we had policemen patrolling our roads to keep them safe, but really the opposite happens. people also need to figure out that if you are going 5 over, you are not going to get fucking pulled over. the cop will pull over the person speeding around you at 15 over. if you go the speed limit or 5 under, people are just going to speed around you at 15 or 20 mph faster than you are going, and probably give you the finger or try to run you off the road. you aren't affected, and you get to your destination faster. what i REALLY hate are the people that figure they will fix things by going 10 miles under the speed limit. i guess they figure that because most sane people go 10 over or so unless there is a cop in the area, they will fix the situation by going 10 mph under. this fucking pisses the living hell out of me. people do it all the time on redwood road. i get so tempted to just ram them. i really really hate it, i just want to yell and fucking rip shit apart.
fuck the morons anyway. they are either old and are going to die soon anyways, or are just complete morons and deserved to be knocked out of the gene pool.
