First, I know that the people I am about to rant about most likely don't read this blog, or any other probably.....stupid people don't read anyway......and these people are stupid with a capital S....
There is the driver I was following into work on Thursday at 4:30 am......on a road with a speed limit of 55---which I have to admit at 4:30 am with deer everywhere, even I am not stupid enough to go that fast----but 20mph.....why even bother driving? I can walk faster than that.....all the way from the campfire camp road to rt 60......he/she finally got a little faster a little past the elementary school, where the speed limit is 45--they got to about 40......good thing I left for work a few minutes early.......
Then the same day, same time, same stretch of road-----moron behind me with his bright lights on his SUV or truck......riding my rear end....remember the bumper sticker that said if you are close enough to read this.......(fill in your own blank--there were several versions).....well the boy was so close he should have bought me dinner first.......did not get the hint when I made sure I was backed off the slowpoke in front of me.....did not get the hint when I flashed my brakes at him.....did not take the hint when I pretty well stopped the van going around some curves----had to, they guy in front of me did......and didn't even notice when I moved my outside mirrors so that his brights would flash back on him........needless to say, I was a little irritated.....at least at the forks of the road, he went on to town while I followed slowpoke the direction I needed to go......
THEN, after making my turn behind slowpoke, another truck turns in behind me (wouldn't think there would be this much traffic at that time of morning, would you?) and proceeds to break a few traffic laws----such as speed limit 45---going about 55 or 60---such as no passing on double yellow stripe----yep, passed me right in front of the elementary school-----twice---passed slowpoke near 4H camp road......I hope he had a real emergency....which bring me to another point---if you do have an honest to God emergency, put on your flashers and flap your headlights in my mirror, and I will move over to let you pass at the first safe spot I come to.....
Then there was Friday night on my way back from taking my oldest boy to the homecoming game. I get to the big curve where there are always deer or turkeys flocking around and I am behind 2 other vehicles who suddenly hit their brakes, so I hit mine too. I always go slow around that curve day or night, because it is a kiss your own butt type of curve. As I get around the curve, I see why they had hit the brakes so suddenly----dumbass moron jackass stupid butt on a RIDING LAWN MOWER, with NO LIGHTS, and ALL IN DARK CLOTHES, is happily riding along in our lane, doo doo doo der de der.........He does move onto what passes for the shoulder of the road out here, and we get by him. He also got blasted by my horn---hopefully it scared him into soberness, 'cuz I figure he had to be drunk to pull that stunt........bad enought the damn 4 wheelers out here ride the paved roads---which is illegal---especially at night, when they figure no one will care, but at least they use their headlights!!!!!
And finally this morning, as Shellie and I came out of IHOP after a mommy/daughter time together breakfast, there is a Chevy Avalanche parked diagonally from us--big ass white SUV---with two overgrown poodle looking dogs sitting in the back seat, owners no where around---obviously inside enjoying their food....one dog barks at us--not a mean bark or anything, but enough to draw our attention. At which point my stupidity detector goes off and I wonder out loud to Shellie why people can't care for their animals enough to leave them at HOME when they go out like that. It's not the first time I have seen something like that. I think it is stupid to leave animals in the car when they could have been very cozily curled up at home, instead of sitting in a car while "mommy and daddy" go into the restaurant to eat. Now ya know, animals aren't dumb, they know there is food in that joint----you can smell it when you enter the parking lot......geez......I hope they pee on the dvd player when they got home--any self respecting dog would......
