People who's driving says I'm more important than you

95% of the time, I am more important.. mainly because I hate being late.

I cannot stand crappy drivers.. If it says 45, go 45 or 50.. it won't kill you! When you get on a freeway ramp, don't brake at the top because of on-coming traffic or I will rear-end you.

Most importantly.. don't give the stink eye when I zoom around you because you don't know what the hell you are doing on the road!

Then try hauling yourself out of bed ten minutes earlier?

I walk most of the places that I go and what I can't stand is any type of rudeness towards pedestrians for daring to be in the crosswalk, because you have to pause for a whole ten seconds to let them cross the street! This makes me especially angry because generally I have to give myself 45 minutes to an hour to get somewhere in my town that takes around 10-20 minutes to reach by car. Really in my town nothing is more than a 20 minute drive away. If you can't get up early enough to give yourself 20 minutes of driving time, you might need to reexamine your life. And yes, I can see it when you roll your eyes at me as I'm crossing the street, and no, I was here before you zoomed up and I do not have to sprint across because you happen to be in a hurry.

I start work at 8, or 9.. and I get up at 4:30, 5 am. How much eariler would you like me to get up?

I also live a ten minute drive from either work place, and leave at least 30 minutes before hand.. again, how much eariler do I need to leave?

When pedestrins cross the street where I live, they take their sweet time and it's at least a whole two or three minutes before I can go. So yes, I expect you to move your butt, esp if it takes you 45 to an hour to walk any place.. you'd get there a whole lot quicker if you moved instead of walking like a snail.

Edited to add: I see your from WI.. that explains a lot.

I just go fast......lol

Me too! I learned to drive in California where I am from. People are polite, but fast.

My husband drives like a total douche. Seriously. He's rude and it pisses me off. I usually drive.

I've never taken 3 minutes to cross a local road. Like I said, I walk fairly quickly. I believe you may be trolling because I don't know how big a car would have to be that someone could possibly take three minutes to walk out of range of it so that the car could move again.

I give myself plenty of time to get where I am going with time to spare every day. I'm glad you do as well, but there is never any excuse to be rude because you're worried you will be late if you knew what time you needed to be there the day before. If you aren't going to be late, why are you whining that it takes time for someone else to cross the road? Why does it matter? You are sitting on your butt in relative comfort listening to the radio or whatever if you are waiting for someone to cross the road or driving. You are not in any way superior to the person crossing the street.
