“I had to stop driving my car for a while… the tires got dizzy.” – Stephen Wright
Posted by Monkeymanx in Personal, Weird shitI don’t know who else does this, but sometimes in traffic, I have an internal commentary on other drivers. I know some people are oblivious to all the traffic around them ( one person in specific… let’s just say that I’m glad I don’t have to drive in Boston
) Not that I can really say much about my driving, usually when my driving is described the words “under speeed limit”, “slow” and “grandma” are used. But I digress…
The other day, I’m driving home from work, and I come to a stop at a red light. At this light there are 2 lanes, the left lane turns, and the right lane can turn or go straight. If you stay in the right lane and turn, you are set up for turning right a little ways down the street. In other words you wouldn’t have to try to move back over a lane. So there I was at the head of the pack at the stop light, there were 3 vehicles behind me. One gets out of line and gets into the left lane. I had a gut feeling that this vehicle was going to have to try to cut back across a lane in a short while. So I’m thinking this driver is making a mistake, “what a retard” I think. The light turns green, I cross the intersection and turn left, sliding into the lane to turn right shortly. In my rear view I notice the vehicle trying to move over. After I made my right turn I watched the mirror and finally saw the vehicle make the turn.
Now, I thought, maybe I should have been nice and tried to let this vehicle in. But that occurred after the fact. And I felt a little guilty then, because said vehicle was a short school bus…
