DRIVERS!!!

ACHH!! I get sooooo irritated driving through the city, I am eventually going to require a new horn! My daughter keeps telling me i'm going to be shot! (that's why i stay out of southeast and northeast)

I left work at 4:15 today. I live 7 miles (not quite) from work. It took me an hour to get home. On a good day i can make the drive in 20 minutes, okay, maybe 25 minutes.

The worst are the cabbies! OMG...they turn in front of me, rarely use their blinker, slink along the road cruising for fares, talk on their cell phones (illegal in DC), change lanes without EVER looking, stop right in front of me for a fare, and just collectively irritate the living shit outta me! I drive through the 9th street tunnel every night...cabbies should be shot in there! Granted they're not the only ones in the tunnel i could kill, but they're the worst offenders for staying in the middle lane (there are 3) knowing full well they are taking either the Virginia or Maryland exits (right or left lanes, which are always backed up). But NO they STAY in the middle lane WAY down the tunnel until suddenly they decide to STOP, turn their blinker on and sit in the road waiting for some sucker to let them in! I am really shocked that there aren't daily accidents in there...there would be if this didn't happen so frequently that people EXPECT these assholes to do the same thing every single day! Now and then you get a new guy in the tunnel that doesn't know which lane to be in. Instead of starting in the middle lane, these assholes will start in the left or right lane, only to find out they SHOULD be in the lane across the tunnel, and make a mad dash across the traffic to the MIDDLE lane, and wait for some nice guy to let them in...I have seen cops get really pissed off at all these assholes, and turn their sirens on just to make them move along. The deal is this...they CAN go to the end of the tunnel and take another way back around to 395, which is the highway to Maryland (left lane) and Virginia (right lane) if they're so stupid to be in the middle or wrong lane in the first place!

I know...get a grip! Chill...take a different route home. WHAT? and not enjoy all this frustration? you gotta be kidding!
