Nothing To Do with Baby Today...

As most of you know, I commute daily to work---about 20+ miles each way and take the highway. This morning, after dropping off Aiden, I choose to go back through Saco rather than backtracking to the highway. Well, there is an intersection where you YEILD and merge into the traffic before getting to the road that leads to the highway. Anyways, this "lady" honked and shooed me along with her hands because I wasn't speeding up to YEILD because I saw no point in rushing when there were numerous cars ahead of me and traffic was all backed up. What was the point, right? I HATE it when people are so much in a hurry that common sense is so blocked up there bum that the only thing that can spew out is rudeness and a competitive, I am in a hurry attitude. All I ask is, "WHAT IS THE POINT OF RUSHING WHEN IT WON'T GET YOU ANYWHERE?" Does it make a person feel so good to be able to cut into traffic and get that one car length ahead? Like my girlfriend Cheri says, "You win." Big whoop- all you win is a medal that says, "I am an asshole who likes to rush and put everyone at risk."
And that is another thing- YEILD. Don't most people take a test to get a license? YEILD doesn't mean speed up to cut people off in order to get off the ramp and into ONCOMING traffic.
One more thing while I am on a rant---shopping carts. People can walk all over these huge stores like Home Depot, Lowe's, Wal-Mart, Target and even the grocery stores...and then they can't walk twenty more feet to put the carts away---they would rather have someone elses car get hit with one, but God forbid their own car get hit. Someone's head would be lost if that were to happen.
Jeez people. Why are you such in a rush that you have to be one car length ahead and can't even take the time to put away your shopping carts.
