One for the road...


Just getting ready to pack up my things and make the journey home...and every day around this time I start contemplating the drive home. Its not a long drive, traffic permitting of course. But these days, traffic is always a nightmare, and most of it I put down to careless and inconsiderate driving. One of my PET hates is inconsideration, and no where is it more obvious than on the roads.


If you're standing in a queue at the bank waiting to get to the teller, do you suddenly start cutting in front of the person in front of you... or better still create your own new queue? No you don't, thats not socially acceptable behaviour - yet somehow on the road (in the anonymity of their cars??), people feel its ok to behave in this fashion.
"Oh i'm so exhausted... its been such a long day... I gotta go make dinner..." Whatever!!! So do I!! So why should i sit in the traffic while you choose to ride the emergency line and cut in front of me?


And where are the traffic cops when this is happening? Probably sitting outside a hospital with limited parking waiting to fine people visting their dying family members. Yeh that sounds about right.


So luckily today is Friday, which means Friday drinks.. I will of course limit my intake, i am driving, but i gotta have that one for the road.


Deep breaths... it is the weekend! :)
