October is FID month!!

Is it Fucking Idiot Driver month and nobody remembered to tell me? Because I didn't get the memo, but it seems like everyone else did. For the past few weeks everywhere I go people are either not paying attention, or they are morons who don't know the rules of the road. A quick refresher course for some of you:

-if you are sitting at a light waiting to turn left, on a street that is one lane in either direction, if the oncoming car is also turning left YOU CAN BOTH TURN AT THE SAME TIME! If you both sit there and wait for the other person to go first, guess what? You'll be sitting there for a long time.

-If you are at a stop light and turning right, and the cross traffic has a green left turn arrow, you can turn right while they are turning left. It's really okay, those cars on the other side of the street are not going to plow through the turning traffic just to hit your car while you turn.

-Oh, and my personal favorite, if you are on a major street at 7:45 in the morning, do not stop at every intersection and let the cars that are waiting go ahead of you! I understand you think you're being nice and letting them in so they don't have to wait, but all you're really doing is slowing the flow of traffic and making everyone behind you late.

And not only are there morons who don't seem to know the rules of the road, but there are more people out there who are just not paying attention. I can't even count the number of times I have watched the idiot in front of me slowly coast into the oncoming lane or into the shoulder of the road, just to jerk their car back into the driving lane when they realize that they were wandering.

Why are cops, or oncoming semi-trucks, never around when you need them?

Fucking Bug

There is a bug flying around my living room, and it's been here for days. I should either kill it or shoo it outside (it's big enough I'd probably have to really put my shoulder into it to get it to budge), but instead I just let it fly around my living room light and I bitch about it.

That's what this blog is for. Not for the bug, but a place for me to bitch where nobody knows who I am, nobody is listening. Maybe it will get some of this noise out of my head if I can put it to "paper". Maybe it will make me feel better to think that someone might read this someday and agree with me. Or maybe disagree and argue with me. I love a good debate. But I can't be the only person out there who is convinced that pretty much everyone else is a complete fucking idiot.

Maybe I'm an idiot as well, I did just mention that nobody is listening and hope that somebody was all in the same paragraph...

On a good note, I think one of my dogs may have eaten the bug. Finally.
