Today was not a good day driving. I made the mistake of driving back
through town, which I know will result in more encounters with
complete fucking morons, but the idea that taking the interstate is
twice the mileage and uses more gasoline weighs on my conscience, too.

I honestly understand why a former friend said that drivers here were
retarded. Granted that was 10 years ago and I think it's gotten much
worse. People just stop following the law, and the fucking cops don't
do shit about it. I mean I hate speed traps as much as the next
person, but blowing through red lights and stop signs should be
ticketed. They're going to fucking kill someone and already have.

It just boggles my mind how fucking careless, impatient, and/or stupid
you have to be to just fucking ignore stop signs or red lights. I
would single out the fucking ghetto trash I drive through every
fucking day I go to work as culprits, but I think the more well-off
folks are bad, too.

Anyway, I'm heading home and some stupid motherfucker has a stop sign
that is about 10 feet behind the back of his car and tries to turn
left in front of me. Now I can understand that to an extent because
the stop sign is too far back to even see the traffic, but he still
didn't have to start moving out when I clearly have my turn signal on.
Oh, and he's also way too far left so instead of a 90-degree turn,
it's more like a 110-degree turn. I honk at the bastard and he just
makes this helpless look like he's confused. Get the fuck off the road
then.

About 2 minutes later, I'm behind some stupid asshole from another
state that doesn't know how a roundabout works. He's one of those
assholes that just stops if there's ANYONE in the fucking roundabout,
no matter how far away they are or if they're past him. Annoying, but
the least annoying of the fucking pricks I ran into this leg. It
doesn't help that there are multiple roundabouts we're both about to
go through, but it's not a huge delay.

Next up is a fucking clueless driver... Wait, it's a two-fer. One is a
fucking old man that doesn't feel comfortable driving over 30, fuck
you very much, and the other is some fucking dumbass who doesn't know
what a turn signal is and maintains way too much distance between
himself/herself and the car in front... S/He also drives like an idiot
not maintaining his/her lane very well. Thankfully I cut in front of
him/her when there's a lane expansion. 10 years ago I would have
thought I was a jerk for that. Maybe I am, but I could not take that
fucking horse shit driving today. I mean several hours later and I'm
still angry enough to glog about it.

The final jackass was my fucking favorite. I've heard them called
"niceholes," and this dumbass is no exception. It's another
roundabout. I'm waiting patiently for my turn as there is a line of
cars entering without obstruction. One fucking asshole decides to stop
near the entrance to "let me through." I say no and wave him ahead
because he has the fucking right-of-way and you don't fucking stop in
a roundabout. After going about 20-30 feet at 1 MPH, he finally
realizes I'm not going...Then he flips me off...for following the
fucking traffic laws and letting him go like I'm fucking supposed to.
The car behind me honked lightly but I didn't care. They probably
thought I was on the phone or something.

So I get in line a car or two behind him. Surprise, surprise, he also
exits the same road I exit on. And while I was angry enough to do
something stupid, I've never actually followed someone home due to
road rage. The most I do is yell at the idiots. But yeah, this
nicehole who isn't very fucking nice has both his driver's side tires
on the wrong side of the road. No wonder that piece of shit didn't
know/care he had the right-of-way in the roundabout.

I swear, I run into at least 3 stupid assholes who don't deserve a
license every fucking day I drive. It was not this bad before. I wish
I were a cop in these instances because I would love to fucking punish
these stupid fucks for polluting our planet while being an incompetent
menace to society.

It's just so aggravating seeing these people just blatantly flout the
law. And nobody does shit about it.
