you know what really grinds my gears.
Inconsiderate "bastard" drivers.
i can honestly say hand on heart i have never been one for road rage. i have always been a calm and placid type of person, ask anyone, i have to be also as part of my job. o:)
BUT, the more i am driving the more fuming i am getting with mindless morons behind the wheel or faffy birds doing their make up whilst driving.
or just as bad, tw@ts who cut a corner as they turn into a road nearly smashing up the front of your car and lo and behold you look at them closely and they are yapping on the holy mobile phone, obviously the call was just so important they had to take it and it is insignificant that they are putting everybody elses lives in danger. or at the very least increasing the potential of smashing up your car that you have had to work hard to pay for, has cost you a bastard arm and a leg to keep running and you might actually be relying on it as part of your job to earn a bloody living.
anyway, the most annoying thing. i know a lot of people have to be somewhere at some time i appreciate that. in my job i have lots of back to back appointments a day and people are really relying on me. time is tight and im usually running late. i do tend to rush a bit sometimes and overtake the slow or dawdling.(they are worse than speeders). :no:
the one that annoys me most. im driving along nicely, got an appointment etc, 2 lane road, im out in front, no problem. road turns into a merge into single lane. suddenly a car on the outside decides hes got a real sense of urgency.
the driver of the other car has suddenly morphed into lewis f***ing hamilton. he has to get in front of me, he just has to, his life depends on it, all his hopes, dreams, ambitions and indeed his very soul is riding on the fact he has to be in front of me. no, no he cant be second behind my sh!tty little car can he. :-o
so my little car cant keep up this kind of pace and i have to be content with a car in front. no problem methinks the car in fronts a bit lively i'll still get to my job on time.
suddenly the complexion of this picture has changed. the car in front does not want to go fast anymore, indeed he has slowed to about 25 mph in a 40 zone. he has suddenly become a sunday driver.
in fact he has gone from thinking he's vin diesel in the fast and the bloody furious to playing out a scene from driving miss daisy.
im now running late, bright red with fury, stress levels through the roof, palpitations, sweats. im obese for f***s sake my heart cant take this sort of trauma.
he must surely have had a very good reason for driving like he was on a race track and then suddenly forgetting how to use his accelarator once he was in front.didnt he?
but i really do understand, the driver had to be in front of me, he just had to be, it gave him a much needed boost to his self esteem and made him feel incredibly important. he cant be expected to sit behind any other cars, oh,no, no,no that is probably beneath him.he had all the time in the world to get where "he" was going, but it surely isnt as important that the poor b@stard behind him had to get to a job and was now running late, therefore giving himself a f***ing coronary due to the stress.
inconsiderate is an understatement for this next one.
driving to a job, a little bit swift, but safe, road is totally clear. 2 way traffic, a car appears on the horizon, hammering along like burt reynolds in smokey and the bandit.
said car is coming towards me, i slow down. suddenly there is a car parked on the other side of the road. instead of slowing down and waiting for me beghind the obstructing vehicle on THEIR side of the road the oncoming vehicle overtakes it, speeding, swerves me. as the "female" driver went past she scowled at me, put her arm in the air, hooked her thumb to the right and yelled "f***in get over".
yes of course i thought, certainly my dear, excuse me for inconveniencing you, your need is obviously greater than mine and you must really need to break the rules of the road. bless you. 8/
and pardon me whilst i just shout back "f*** off you cheeky inconsiderate f***ing c**t.the obstruction was on your b@stard side." AAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHH!
i could go on ,but that will do..... for now.
anyway, inconsiderate "b@stard" drivers.
thats something that really grinds my gears.
