Why can nobody drive but you when you're in a hurry?

_John_

It's similar to those situations where everyone's crazy but you...

(Wait a sec...)

Better or worse than ending up with a cop behind you on the road when you're in a hurry?

I'm always in a hurry...

I can write a whole essay on this... I used to work at a bank in the downtown area which is about 10kms from where I live, yet it takes me 45 mins - 1 hour because people love to drive slowly whenever I'm in a rush.

Unrelated but driving where I live 10 years ago was pretty good, now its messed up. Probably because our fines are too low (Passing a cam is $150 approx fine). Gov wants to increase fines 10 times and introduce jail time for half the traffic offenses to control this.

This is not an issue in Houston. Nobody can drive EVER. It keeps you from having unreasonable expectations :flowerforyou:

And yet, tons of people can drive in and around Atlanta... as long as you can keep the 80mph pace and be comfortable. :laugh:

I feel this way whenever new students start going to the school next to where I live. Not a single one of them knows what to do at a four-way stop. It gives me trust issues, man.

I got motion sickness just watching that on YouTube. Puts my fear of four-way stops to shame :noway:

For me, it's stealthy pedestrians.

I'm in a hurry, and all of a sudden it's like girl scout troops come out of nowhere to cross the street in front of me and I have to pause and then hurry... and then it's a guy in a surfboard... and then I hurry and then it's a like, mime!

Just kidding on the mime. The mime stays on the street corner and just waves at me when I drive by in the mornings...

Don't forget the cute baby animals. They come out of nowhere when you're in a hurry.

You would think I was joking... but no. No I wasn't. To be honest, I feel a little guilty that I didn't wave at the mime this morning, just drove right on by!

Gotta give the mimes a little love.

I know. I've lived in this town for the past 3 weeks and haven't even introduced myself.

I could... but maybe he won't recognize me and it'll be weird and awkward. He probably waves to everyone and is too sophisticated to want to be my friend anyhow.

He wears a sailor hat. I mean... sophisticated, right?

How about, "nobody can drive, but me" and just leave it at that? :grumble: :grumble: :grumble:

That's only the most sophisticated! If I ever met a mime, it would be difficult for me not to speak to them in sign language even though they're probably not deaf

Then again...he might not be a mime. He might just be a guy who wears a sailor hat and dances on the corner.

It's a new town. It's hard to tell.

And... I'm probably not the best driver. If you would like me to stop driving and are volunteering to be my driver - I can offer greek yogurt, a 4 foot couch to sleep on AND I promise to let you choose what games to play on my Wii. Because I'm generous like that.
