Idiot Drivers - they are EVERYWHERE

Welcome to my new blog! Over the past few weeks, I started joking with my husband about the stupid things I'd see throughout my day, and he would chime in with the dumb things he would see. We coined it our "daily dose of stupid." After some of the posts on a local mommy board where I'm a member, I decided to try and start a blog all about it!!

Today's entry is a typical one around here. It involves the dumbass in the Cadillac Catera leaving Gaston Mall around 5 pm. He was in the left turn lane (to go towards the I85 ramps) and I was behind a car, in the right turn lane. Without warning, he throws on his right turn signal; when the light changed, the woman in front of me just stood there, blocking me AND him. I honked the horn to prompt her to go; he tried to go in front of me but hehe, my vehicle is like TEN times the size of his Catera P.O.S., and I refused to let him. He fell in behind me, a bit ticked off. Owell, like I care. LOL

But wait folks, it gets better. The next light, for Franklin Blvd., consists of two left turn lanes, a straight lane, and a right turn lane. I got into the leftmost left turn lane because I needed to make a left into one of the strip malls on Franklin; he got into the left turn lane next to me and just sat there, STARING at me. My DH was cracking up, it was SO pathetic. Lucky for the other guy, he never once tried to yell out his window at me or get out of his own vehicle; if he had, he would have found himself at the WRONG end of a pregnant woman's temper. LOL

Hang on folks, it gets even better. And here you thought I was done. When we got the light, all lanes began to move; I began my left turn, watching him out of the corner of my eye to ensure he didn't try to cut me off or do something else stupid (he was batting a thousand so far). He didn't try anything with me; instead, he did something else completely boneheaded. Mind you, he was in the OTHER left turn lane..... the idiot WENT STRAIGHT, cutting off another vehicle without any warning whatsoever. We didn't see him again after that. It's times like that when I wish a cop was around to witness it, I love when stupid acts get their just desserts!!
