Road Rage

So I've spent the morning typing up an assignment, I'm cranky because non residents are parked in our apartment spaces meaning I have to go downstairs and move my car every two hours because they're too selfish to pay for parking. The assignment is taking to long to upload to the internet, I'm running late for my presentation, I've kicked my toe on my desk about four times rushing in and out of the room... Not exactly the ideal way to start a day. I rush out the door and to my relief everyone on the road seems to be in as big a rush as I am. 

Just as I've calmed down and started to belt out some tunes from the stereo, a car cuts me off without an indicator causing me to swerve and swear uncontrollably. Like Carl Barron says, they can never hear you....they just see the ridiculous expressions on your face! 

I've come to notice ALOT of BAD drivers lately, my patience is beginning to ware thin, how much must I put up with before someones bad driving gets me or someone else hurt. Seeing as there is nothing I can do about it I feel a good bitch is the only way to vent a little frustration. 

SPEEDING

Everyone does it, including me, there’s no secret of that.  However, it simply amazes me how people will risk life and limb, weaving in and out of traffic, just to get a few cars ahead and shave a whopping 3 to 5 seconds of their drive time.

TAIL GATING

This one really drives me absolutely mad,  luckily, I can fight back.  Whenever I notice someone a little too far up my ass, I give the break a good shot once in a while, and watch them jump.   There really is no excuse for tailgating, its like walking in a line, standing on top of a person pushing your pelvis into their ass won't get you anywhere faster! They say 2-3 seconds between you and the car in front of you,  However…the 2-3 second rule also causes an additional problem that leads into my next annoyance…

CUTTING OFF DRIVERS

Unfortunately, while you may think you’re maintaining a safe driving distance from the car in front you, people in other lanes take that as a sign for them to jump into your safe buffer zone.  People seem to think that if you’re not bumper-to-bumper with the car in front of you, then they have free reign on taking that space for themselves. 

GIVE WAY TO ONE

You're stuck in a car park and there are cars coming from all directions trying to get out the same way you are. I like to work via the general rule of thumb of someone let you in so you let someone else in. If everyone followed this rule, things would be so much more simple. But no... there are the selfish pricks who won't give way to anyone, they're too concerned about themselves and how fast they're going to get out to worry about others. 

NO INDICATORS

I'm not a F%#$ing mind reader! 

Well I don't know about you but I sparingly like to flip the bird, remind them they're in the wrong and let out a little frustration of my own... Dear bad Townsville drivers...

Take that!

The man who crossed his legs

There he sat, his neck disguised by his over sized shoulders, a tank singlet, gym shorts, eating a burger. His hands were so large he could have held two burgers in each hand. Yet something had caught my eye, it didn't seem quite right. Masculine, Arrogant... and legs crossed? You heard me, one leg over the other. I just about fell on the ground laughing!

And so I came to ponder, was I right to criticise this man, I mean I was somewhat stereotyping him according to his appearance. For all I know behind all those muscles, steroids and protein shakes is a raging homosexual, the only thing missing was his little pinky fingers raised in the air while he was eating. Crudely sexist of me I know, I'm not sure where this ideal came from. We've all seen the old foot on the knee abused by business men in suits, it doesn't usually go the whole way.  So the question is, should a man cross his legs when seated?
