1. Oh, yeah, boyfriend's favorite line is "it won't get any greener" |
|
I don't know what it is with me, but I'm also bad on directions -- he'll tell me to turn left and I'll go right. Drivelexia?

3. Well, yes, I do have to admit to it.... |
|
Sometimes my mind is just elsewhere...
But not usually...Usually I'm stuck behind the person who isn't paying attention!
Oh well...I figure that all of this just teaches me to be patient...

the other direction are going to stop We have a surplus of red light runners where I live not to mention one of the most dangerous highways in GA. I always wait a few seconds and look both ways to make sure the other cars are going to stop. Of course, impatient people in huge SUVs with W stickers will beep at you.

at least 5 people will run the red light. Anybody that's been here for a time will look first, then go.

promised myself a long time ago never to honk at the less than prompt that may be in front of me. Proud to say, I've stuck to that promise. LOL

10. Yes, it makes my day when some jerk starts honking |
|
It makes me so happy, that I feel like getting out of the car, going back there and beating the idiot's brains in. Something like that would only have to happen once and nobody would honk anymore.

13. LOL I like that idea. But maybe there's a less violent way |
|
to go....like get out of your car and act like a total wacko. You know, stand there looking back at the dumb ass and honk you horn and point at them. Thanks for the laugh.

14. I watch the other lights |
|
to tell when the lights in my direction are about to change. Then I gun it, burning rubber and wasting gas.
Only kidding. Then I gently apply pressure to the pedal, but I really, really want to gun it.
