More Great Driving Pet Peeves
Why is it that when people get behind the wheel of a motor vehicle (or as I like to call them, two ton bullets) they just lose their mind? It really isn’t that hard to operate a two ton bullet, but most people just don’t seem to be able to get the hang of it. Here are some of the worst offenders in the world.
- Old people. Let’s face it, everyone will get old at some point, but that doesn’t mean that you have to become worse at driving. You would think that people with one foot in the grave wouldn’t care about being so careful when they drive. I mean, if you are like 80 or even older, then you should just tear around and not give a hoot. If you do get pulled over, who cares? It’s not like the cop is going to be some hardass on a geriatric. If you are reading this, and you are old, first off good for you on being on the Internet! Secondly, put the foot down and stop impeding my forward momentum.
- Men. Wow, what a generalization! I know, I know, not all men are bad drivers, but seriously, some of you need to cut down on the testosterone injections. By men I mean those overly aggressive drivers who feel the need to constantly be in a race and damn anyone who gets in their way. Most of the time, though not always, these men will be driving oversized trucks laden with all sorts of big wheels and truck body kits and loud exhaust pipes. Listen, this isn’t NASCAR or a monster truck rally and it never will be. So stop pretending that you need to exert your will over everyone else on the road and settle down. Stop driving like maniacs who feel they can do whatever they want just because they own a big ol’ truck ya’ll.
- Women. Again, how general can this be? Well, since I already mentioned men, you know this had to be coming right. Though I’m sure most women are perfectly responsible drivers, there are those out there who just don’t seem to get it. Whether they are having a hard time parking their ginormous SUV that they had to have to feel safe, or whether they are not signaling or failing to yield, you will come across some bad women drivers. In fact, you will probably see them later today. And if there is ever a holiday sale going on, be sure to stay well clear of all major roadways leading to the mall because once women smell a shoe sale there is nothing in the world that can stop them.
If everyone would just learn the rules of the road, or even stop driving altogether, then I would be less irritated when I drive. So, old people please speed up. Men, please slow down. And women, please just learn how to drive in general.
