Sick things in cars/Rotate 'round my stars

[nolawitch58]

Was yesterday Idiots on the Road Day? Did I miss the memo? Not once, but twice I saw people with their turn signals blinking either turn the opposite direction or change lanes to the one opposite their signal. Is this a horrible new game motorists are playing? Then there was the moron in the HUGE FUCKING PICKUP TRUCK. You know the kind, quad cab, large tires, sits higher than even those obnoxious SUVs. He's either blathering on his phone or a complete shithead while he's backing out of his driveway nearly into my car. I gritted my teeth and waited for the crunch while hoping my forward momentum was enough to get me past his idiocy. Thankfully, it did, but I now I hate that guy and I know exactly where he lives.

Has anyone else seen that stupid commercial for the SUV with the rear camera dealie? The one where the idiot has a neighborhood reputation for hitting parked cars, trees, trash cans and such? Then he gets the new 2007 BLUNDERBUSS SUV with a rear camera and can now park flawlessly. Uh, how about getting a fucking car you can actually see out the back fucking window, you fucking douchewads? *rolls eyes*

I'm also sorely tempted to make up a flyer I can leave under the wiper blades of the complete fucktards who park in the same garage as I do. "You must be one of the delusional 28% who still support the idiot in the White House if you think your half-ton pickup/gargantuan SUV/full-sized sedan (circle one) is a compact car. Go flip this ugly, planet killing behemoth into Lake Pontchartrain. No love, Sane Parkers Everywhere"

How could anyone who has ever been in so-called "rush hour" traffic doubt that overpopulation exists? If sitting bumper-to-bumper for interminable stretches of road or street with others trying to claw their way to jobs they don't like doesn't convince you, your elevator must not make it to the top floor. In fact, most of my friends' elevators tend to be express elevators to the penthouse when it comes to dealing with serious issues of the day. I have a few who cling stubbornly to their horse-and-buggy thinking, but they're coming around.

No mattress today. The store called yesterday and said it wasn't on their delivery truck. They're expecting it next Tuesday and we should have it on Wednesday. They already waived the removal fee for the old one. If there are any additional delays, I'm going to ask for a discount off the price for the inconvenience. Meh.

Okay, that went a bit fast. I *was* going to make a nice link out of it, believe it or not ;-). Our "young greens" stick them on parking spots. In the meantime, they also have a version to stick in the SUV itself, saying "I guzzle for three" - in german, of course ;-).

Not just you and not just today. I thought it had started out to be "bad driving month" but it seems to be spreading into "bad driving Summer" And I can't blame Mercury retrograde for all this nonsense, either.

Maybe there's a new additive in the gasoline that everyone's breathing?

Or maybe, as someone opined, intelligence is a finite constant and the population is increasing. Or maybe the head from catrastrophic climate change is baking the morons' brains. I wonder if zombies like baked brains. Usually they eat them raw.

Sadly, direction signalers in NH are just as inaccurate. Since the NH water supply is far removed from LA's, we cannot blame the water. Therefore, the finite theory could just be right. Or else maybe it's a terrorist plot....

You know, I'm beginning to think it is "Bad Driving 2007" and we all somehow missed the memo. Do not get me started on the mega over sized SUV's either. I'm beginning to think that owning a Suburban must be a requirement for living in Lafayette. Needless to say, they try to run over my little SUV the same way they do a small sports car.

Speaking of the environment, I've actually been going through the house and our lives in general evaluating ways to make us a more green household. I should write a post about it, shouldn't I? Some of them will probably seem strange, but every little bit helps, right? *nods* Yep, I'll work on writing that today.

Oh, thanks for the info on freelance writing. It turned up lots of good articles and information. The local paper has a copy editor position open and I'm so attempted to apply. If you saw our local paper, the grammar would make you claw your eyes out. I couldn't be any worse than what they already employ!

Wow, this was the most random of responses I think I've ever typed. Welcome to Kris' stream of consciousness theater!

Damn! I missed the credit roll for stream of consciousness theater.

How do you think I feel in my little bitty car? The bigger the vehicle, the smaller the brain of the idiot driving it. Seriously, unless you regularly haul fuckloads of shit around with you, you don't need a humongous ride. It irks the living piss out of me to see these twerps drive their huge vehicles in to town just so they can sit on their sorry asses in a fucking office all day long. And they get huffy if you beep at them as they take forever to park them because they've got no way to see where they're going. I smirk at them as I zip into a space backwards, hop out and head to the elevator as they're still struggling to edge into a spot.

Absolutely you should do a post about going greener. I'm so proud of you two for having a conscience about the environment. You're right, every bit helps. So many people are too fucking lazy to be bothered with even simple, easy steps.

Because they've also driven through Montana? :-P I had a g/f from New Jersey once, who was fucking amazed at the drive from here to Disney being mostly "nowhere".
