A bit of Anger Management

This blog sucks but I'm bored and felt like typing something!

Lately I have been able to manage my anger in ways I never thought possible. For instance yesterday I managed to get angry at another driver. This particular person was not in my way, not cutting me off and maybe 5oo feet from me in another lane going another way. Still, I managed to get angry with her. You see in my little town there is a light. And this light stops people from inadvertently slamming into each other. There is one lane from three directions and three lanes from the other direction (if you don't understand then stop reading, go into your garage and turn on your car (STOP... do not do what I just told you to do)). So from the one side that has three lanes only two of them go straight. One veers to the right and blends in with traffic. For those of you who ever come North on 27 through Damascus, YOU DO NOT NEED TO STOP HERE! There is no white line to stop at, there is no light above the lane and there absolutely is no humanly way to mix this up... Unless of course you are the idiot that sat at the non-light this morning as I drove by with a line of traffic bottle-necked behind her. And to top it off when the light turned green she yielded for the non-oncoming traffic even though there is no yield sign and a clearly marked lane where SHE has the right-of-way! And as usual I have artistically led into the next paragraph!

Road signs are our friend. If you come upon a sign that says, let me think of something off the top of my head... YIELD then you should know what to do. Most likely there is oncoming traffic where you need to merge with. On occasion there is no merge lane and you will see a sign that says NO MERGE LANE. At this point you need to stop and observe the oncoming traffic until you can safely enter the driving lane. Please increase your speed immediately as the traffic behind you is coming up fast and accelerating to there speed, or at least the speed limit is vital. But more often than not there is a lane to merge. Do not come to a complete stop here. You have a lane and this is designed for you to continue driving, without stopping until you have reached the same speed as the traffic you are trying to merge with so you can enter the driving lane. Put your damn blinker on, speed up and don't stop. Stopping could cause a serious accident and then God will deem you an idiot.

And almost on a daily basis I manage to get angry at idiots entering the highway. just because you have your blinker on does not mean that you have access to leave the merge lane (see above) and enter the driving lane. It is imperative that you increase your speed to the same speed as those on the highway BEFORE you enter the driving lane. If the speed limit is 55 MPH then your ass better be going at least 55 mph before you plan to merge. This to me is the definition of common sense but every time I am on the highway some douche wants to get in front of me going 30 mph

And for God's sake do not drive in the fast lane, ever... The left lane of the highway is designed for passing those on the right. There is nothing more angering than some idiot driving too slow in the left "fast" lane. Or some putz driving the exact speed limit in the middle lane and people are passing them on the right. A good rule of thumb is that if you are being passed on the left then you are in the wrong lane... Get over... There is nothing wrong with driving slow as long as you are in the slow lane...

If you follow these simple rules then I will not have to send my goons to kick your ass and take your license.
