I hate stupid people. Why are people stupid? Are they born stupid? Is it genetic? Do their parents instill the value of stupidness in them as a child? For some reason the stupid people seem to be out in full force in the mornings when I'm driving to work.
1) Last week I'm driving up hwy 44 in the morning on my way downtown for work and traffic is moving extremely slow. We pass 270 and finally people start to pick up speed. I'm in the left lane, trying to avoid all the freaks getting onto 270, but the guy behind me decides I'm not going fast enough. Mind you we are on a hill and I'm trying to get my little car up to speed. He lays on his horn, then swerves onto the shoulder to pass me. I look up and he's almost out of sight already. Must have really wanted to get to work huh. Maybe they were going to fire him if he came to work late one more time. Probably deserves it if that was the case.
2) After a few days taking hwy 44 and dealing with the traffic jams at 270 I started taking Big Bend from the house to 44 to avoid that area. So I'm traveling down Big Bend and I'm at a stoplight. I hear a siren and then see an ambulance coming from the other direction on Big Bend. I have a red light and I'm out of the way, but these freaks decide to just try and make a left turn while the ambulance is coming thru the intersection. Come on people! Stop and pull over for an emergency vehicle, even if you have a green light! Someday it could be you in that ambulance and I bet you'd want people to stop for you! It's just common courtesy.
3) Today I was almost downtown with no incident. Then, as I'm passing the left exit for Lafayette Ave. from 44 (right before 44 hits hwy 55) this guy swerves over in front of me from the lane that is exiting. Meanwhile traffic has slowed in front of me so he slams on his brakes, slides a couple feet in the lane and there's white smoke all around him. So I have to slam on the brakes to avoid running into the stupid guy in front of me. He just acts like nothing happened and continues on his way down to Washington Ave. To think...he works on the same street as me...and he got to work 0.3 seconds faster than I did but could have caused a serious accident.
Sorry for the rant, but please don't be stupid on the road. It's not worth it!

I almost got hit on on Highway 170. This blue minivan, gets on at Rock Road and starts moving over into my lane, while I am still occupying that space. So I lay on my horn and the van swerves to avoid me, mind you it took them a bit to relize that I was still there, I am talking inches away here. Going on the shoulder to pass someone is illeagal, cops are never there when you want them, and are there when you don't!! I got stuck behind some morons this morning on Nat. Bridge, the speed limit is 35. But these idiots were doing 25. So thanks to them, there was a little parade behind us. Oh yea this is in the left lane (the "fast" lane). I love driving behind little old ladies who do 20 in a 35 or 40. Or ride their brakes. I also had a moron tailgating me from Elm to Brentwood. I swear she was just inches from my bumper. People need to learn how to merge on 44 to 270. I think the majority of ppl have forgotten that concept on that bridge. Morons!
It should be legal for us to elminate stupid people.

Careful there.
It's true, there is no such thing as common courtesy anymore. I'm to the point where I'm amazed when people treat one another decently.
It was interesting that immediately after September 11, people drove much more sanely and I actually saw people doing small things like holding the door for the next person coming. But the thought that there are much more important things in life was just too much for most people.
I'm coming to the conclusion that most people have their priorities completely out of whack, and as such, have no idea how to live. And things like this are just small symptoms of a much larger and endemic problem.
I hate STUPID people. So if were to say this statement at work ... i would be wrote up for using the word stupid. We had an hour long discussion over why we should not use the word stupid ... thus my boss decided if anyone said that word around him he would wrte us up for insorboranation or something like that espically if we say something about the "Y" is stupid ... how stupid is that ... elizabeth
