Someone Revoke That Guy's License PLEASE!!!
Exercise: None - I was tied up running errands last night and didn't have enough time to do my usual sets when I got home so I'm really looking forward to skating tonight.
As any of you who have read my past posts know, I tend to mention peoples' driving skills (maybe I should say lack of them) here fairly frequently but the guy who had a near collision with me this morning really took the cake. I can't stress enough that when you are changing lanes you need to actually turn your head and look not just rely on your mirrors.
As I was getting on the interstate this morning, I nearly had some dood sideswipe me. At the place where I turn to get on the ramp, there are four lanes. Two are right turn only lanes which are for the ramp and two go straight on. I was in the left most lane that turns with a SUV to the right of me and a Taurus or Sable (not exactly sure which) to the left of me. As the SUV and I go to make the turn, the asshole to the left of me decides he's going to turn too. The fucker almost turned straight into my car! Had I not moved over to the right what little I could, I'm sure he would have actually hit me. I mean he came within six inches or less of doing damage and based on the way it all happened, I think he either didn't look behind him, did look but thought he could outrun me, or a combination of the two.
After I got done shitting my pants from the near miss (something I'm sure the person to my right was doing when I started to move closer to him to avoid getting hit), I was absolutely livid. Not only did I lay on the horn, I rode his ass all the way down the ramp. Wouldn't you know the fucker was in such a hurry to get by me and then he couldn't even seem to do the speed limit. When we finally got on the interstate where I could pass him, I looked over and he didn't appear to be very old which does a lot to explain his wreckless driving. I was disappointed though because he didn't look over at me. Of course had he done that, I would have made sure to let him know he's "number 1" in my book. FUCKER! I only wish I would have gotten his license plate. I was too shaken up by the near miss that the idea didn't pop into my head until it was too late. It seems, however, that I've seen this car so maybe just maybe I might get another opportunity to get the license number some other time and you know if and when I do, I'm posting the fucker here for everyone to see. That's right asshole - you're going on the wall of shame.
Yep, I think I may just have to buy a lottery ticket today because if you ask me, you don't get any more lucky than I was this morning avoiding an almost certain accident.
Well kiddies, normally I would have a blurb or two for the "something different" files but today I just haven't found anything exciting enough to qualify. Not that really matters. Lunchtime is about over and I need to get back to work.
Til next time....
