Tales from the commute

1. It's really not necessary to signal a right turn when getting onto a roundabout. If anything, it'd be more helpful to signal a left turn if you ever plan to go the wrong way.

2. To the driver/owner of a red Dodge Caravan with plates "UR2 FAT": classy plates, asshole! What's it like to be a mental midget?

Oh man! That's like the awful NY Times opinion piece I just read that claims we're living in "an age of slovenliness and fat." Jesus fuck.

Hahah seriously. Sometimes I want to put a big sign with this URL on it (http://www.region.waterloo.on.ca/web/region.nsf/roundabouts_how_to_use2.html) on my car and honk my way through them.

My worst driving experience of the day, week, and even month was today when I was driving to work. These three middle school girls just decided to walk across a busy street while people were driving, rather than waiting the extra 20 seconds for the light to change. They started to cross, changed their mind, started to cross again, and then changed their minds. Then they started to cross. And I had to slam on my brakes and skid to a halt. And they flipped me off.

Because of other drivers and pedestrians, I don't like driving anywhere. And I don't like roundabouts because no one around here understands how they work.

isn't that, like Richard Simmons' license plate or something?
