Shut up and Drive!

Ok...ready for today's rant?  Well, here goes.  What is up with all the bad drivers on the road?  OMG  Either they drive way too fast or way too slow and it's usually the latter around this town.  I don't think I'm asking too much for people to JUST drive the posted speed limit.  I mean come on.  The route I take home is through town and I know you can't or shouldn't drive 55mph but at least do the 35 or 40 that is posted NOT freaking 20mph!  I didn't think I was ever gonna make it home tonight and I only live 9 miles from my office.  First the guy in the old black toyota truck was driving like 25mph in a 35mph then when we get to the crossroad where there is a traffic like the guy turns his directional on to turn right and what does he do...turns left and VERY slowly at that!  It's a double turn lane and there is no one in the other lane so I hit the gas and pass his slow butt.  I make my move then turn down the next street things are moving along nicely now then I get behind a guy in an SUV on his stupid cell phone who is going 25mph in a 40mph.  UGH and on this road there is NO place to pass him.  So I bide my time creeping along like a snail.  Traffic is backing up behind me because he's too busy yacking to drive.  

Listen, I've been around a long time WAY before cell phones came along and I know from experience that you DO NOT need your ear to a phone 24/7.  People! before cell phones we just waited until we got home to make a call and I'm sure you could do the same now.  Don't you realized that a big percentage of traffic accidents are because you are not paying attention to what you are doing...distracted driving!  I want to make it home in one piece not be involve in your stupidity.  Then there are the jerks that don't know how to use a directional (signal light).  They don't use them or when they do they indicate they are going right and go left or vice versa.  I have to confess I don't always use mine but there it's when there is no one around so why bother.  Maybe that a bad habit but it's how I roll...LOL 

I did make it home once again unscathed which is a miracle in it's self in this town.

Hope your drive home today was uneventful.
