A quick rant


I don't know how it is where you live but here in Minnesota 80% of the people can't seem to follow the most basic rules of driving. There are two things that always cause me to take a deep breath and repeat my peaceful mantra so I don't have a heart attack or seriously hurt somebody. But even as I type this, I feel my blood pressure rising. The two things are: merging and left hand turns. In a way their kinda related because people seem to do the exact opposite of what their supposed to do in each circumstance. More times than not when someone is on an entrance or exit ramp, they ride the ass of the car in front of them instead of keeping at least a car lengths distance to let themselves and other cars easily merge in and out of traffic. On the opposite end, I sit and watch in amazement at left turn lights. When the arrow turns green everyone seems to count to 10 when the person in front of them starts moving, only when they reach 10 do they start to move themselves. Often times I see an insane gap before I start screaming "GO!" Sometimes I scream other things. If people would pay attention, 4 or 5 more cars could make the turn but that rarely happens. I swear they're laughing at me as the light turns red and they've caused me to sit through another light cycle. So, if you're one of those people, I'm asking you to please think and use your common sense. Sadly, most people don't even realize that they are morons because they are morons. If you are not one of these people, thanks for reading my rant and watch for yourselves how people merge and turn. Soon you too will be in need of a mantra if you don't have one already.
