Tightly Wound
Category: rant
Sometimes I feel like I need to rip a hypothetical rod out of my ass. I get ridiculously upset with blatantly intentional reckless driving in this city. It's far from the first time I've bore witness to people sitting in a "turn only" lane, only to gun it at green to get ahead of traffic. Between that, the unwarranted running of reds and the blatant disregartd for cell phone etiquette (even by our fair police forces), I just want to lose it!

I wouldn't be so concerned in most cases, but it pushes me to the urge of wanting to yell at the offending culprit. Not only that, it makes me an unnecessarily aggressive driver. I want to run them off the road, or give them a taste of their own medicine to show them how screwed they can get.

I know some people tell me to quit being concerned with the person I want to become and simply be the person I am. This isn't exactly one of those cases where I want to exercise that.

For now, I'll just have to hope the crazy lady (I may be presumptuous in this assumption) here in the laundromat quits ranting about DNA tests so vehemontly, and I can just wind/cool down while folding my laundry once it's dry.

Overall I find drivers here to be courteous and respectful. The lack of traffic helps. You'd die in Orlando, I dreaded getting in a car when I lived there.

(e:Himay),

My brother told me Buffalo has the worst drivers, and he has been all over the country. I trust his judgment. Defensive driving is a skill well earned. It is just going to happen, a clueless driver doing whatever, react! :-)

Hahaha, don't ever drive in Delhi, bro. Consider yourself warned. ;-)

The folks here can help you navigate the features--just ask. Tiny even made a cool diagram that's around here somewhere . . .

Ah, so it is you. Well, no apologies for all the citations! This is my blogging platform after all. :)

Somehow I didn't expect you to sign up - because you do have a (very very blue) independent blog already. Hahaha

Funny? With how often you cited this place, one would wonder if you weren't promoting the place. ;)

I've stumbled across the site a couple times earlier (saw a review of the Thirsty Buffalo here once). Sort of intrigued by the ability to post from mobile-platform. No promises on how long I'll stick around just yet though! The organization of features is slightly elusive to me so far.

Are you a doppelgänger or the @himay from twitter world? If you are it's so funny seeing you here. :) Welcome to (e:strip) - the crazy place where everyone is slightly loony.
