Let Me Count the Ways

I don't know which is worse...the fact that your are illegally gabbing on your cell phone, that you just tossed a cigarette butt out the window, or that your truck is oversized clearly for no reason. Oh screw it, I just hate you.

The Beetles

A large multicolored beetle was buzzing around the inside of my car while I was driving.  Panic ensued.

How do I get there?

I just came back from camping where there were signs everywhere.  All of the signs were forbidding you from doing something.  Yet there was not one sign anywhere telling me how to get down to the beach to go swimming.  Thanks, Camp Cushman, so much for your help.

I need to start walking to work

I got such a rockstar parking spot yesterday that I walked right past my car for almost a block before remembering my good luck and then had to hoof it back to the car. <Sigh>

Too many variables, I'm done

I have always maintained that despite the ridiculously large number of assholes on the road,  I would always try to be as polite and considerate a driver as I can be. Until now. I'm done.

Here's the thing: Lately, the decision on which lane to be in when I'm the second or third car approaching a  red light is causing me too much stress.

The situation: A two lane road at a busy intersection that has no advanced green light. I am going straight.

1. Car X in left lane = no. Easy decision, I take that lane.
2. Car X in left lane with no left indicator on, car Y in right lane = no. Normally, I stay in the left lane behind  car X because there may be a car behind me who would like to go right and might have the opportunity to do so on the red if I'm not in it, waiting to go straight.

Every day this week, I have been in the left lane behind Car X who has no left turn indicator on, so I've assumed that Car X is going straight because HE HAS NO INDICATOR ON. Every single day, when the light has turned green, Car X has inched forward and then put his left turn indicator on, leaving me stuck behind him while all the cars in the right lane go flying past me. FUCK!

I am sorry but I am now going to have to be the asshole sitting happily in the right lane waiting for the light to change and if you're behind me wanting to go right, suck it. Car X ruined it for you.

Dude, you give 'em a bad name!

So, this guy I know rides a Segway around town. The dealership allows him to use the Segway as long as he displays the huge Segway marketing signs on the front.  I know I'm supposed to be all impressed and appreciative that this guy is conserving energy and choosing smart transportation, blah blah blah, but he's constantly rolling past the coffeeshop windows, he can't fucking shut up about the fucking Segway, and he looks like a giant dick in that helmet.

I'm a diva.

I want to fly from east coast to west coast, and I can't get the airlines' schedules to work with my schedule!  I don't want to leave Newark at 6:15 am, and I don't want to fly a red-eye home!  Work with me people!!

Barf Bags Available for Ten Bucks

What the hell? Now three airlines are charging to check a bag. I guess the airlines don't think we hate them enough as it is. Since I never see the carry-on rule enforced, if you're not one of the first people to get on the plane, you'll really never find space for a carry-on now. Soon you will either jump for free or pay $25 to use the jet way to exit the plane.

More Like L-Turns

18-wheeler trucks just should not try making U-turns in the middle of residential area streets. Just saying.

Auto Locks

I rented a Jetta this weekend.  The Jetta has that feature where the car doors automatically lock when the car is in motion.  I hate that.  I'm not 100% sure I understand the purpose of that safety feature and I hate that I always forget and when I get out of the car and go to get something from the back seat it is locked.  That just annoys me.
