If there is one situation that has the potential to get me more worked up and ready to explode faster than anything, it’s driving. And out here in Hawaii, there’s a lot of stupid-ass people that do a lot of stupid-ass things on the roads. I’m not just talking about the normal cutting you off, or going too slow or blowing past you at 80 on the freeway, or waiting for the last second to merge onto the freeway, especially during heavy traffic. I’m not even talking about one thing that is “Hawaiian” that I haven’t seen anywhere else — stopping at the end of a freeway on-ramp (yes, where it merges into the slow lane) and waiting for it to be clear to go. That irritates me too, but that’s a whole other post.
No, what I am talking about here are the people who signal to change lanes, and even do it… but they take way too long to do it. Freakin ridiculous people will drive about half a mile with their blinker on straddling two lanes. I don’t get it. To change lanes you’re supposed to first check your mirrors – if it’s clear, then you turn on your signal and do a shoulder check. If it’s still clear, you yank that mothereffing wheel and get into the other lane. There’s no need to take up two lanes for 3 miles because you’re being a fat and lazy dumb-ass driver. This is especially true if you’re planning to make a right hand turn on the next street. Move the frick over! If you’re making turns from the second lane in, you’re an idiot.
I just had to get that out, it’s been bothering me for a long time. More later – and thanks for sticking with us, we’ve both been busy, but (for me, at least) that’s changing real soon, so keep coming back, and if you get THAT bored, you can always post your own rants, too.
