"Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?"
George Carlin
I have serious road rage ever since I got my driver's license a few months ago.
It irks me when people...
1. do not use their blinkers when changing lanes
2. cruise at a leisurely pace in the passing lane
3. ride up my ar** attempting to speed me up even though there are ten cars ahead of me
dude? are you rushing to meet your maker?!
And then this makes me think of my dear friend R. She went ballistic on a man who drove recklessly next to her in an attempt to take over. They both stopped at a light, she wound her window down, and in her best psychotic impression, said in full Singlish glory,
"Wah! You very good! You number ONE! You WIN!"
Tight-lipped, the man stared straight ahead, and his wife who was in the passenger seat, looked very worried.
And then the daily morning dose of caffeine gives me an adrenaline rush. I just noticed I drive with my teeth clenched. So i gave up coffee as of today (not counting the 26 other previous attempts).
My friend A who drives in Shanghai, sent me this picture he took of his GPS the other day. The arrow with the circle around is his car's position. I DO NOT ever want to drive in China. Especially where people use their horns indiscriminately. I scared!!
By the way, have you heard George Carlin? He's a pretty dang good comedian!!
When I went to Asia I didn't drive but I realized how it's good to remember to go with the flow :) and US drivers get much angrier drivers and they drive much slower then the rest of the world. lol
