In no mood....

Maryanne often wonders why she usually drives when we're going somewhere together. Well, truth be told, it's because I hate driving around Madison. If you've read this blog on a regular basis, you see I've occasionally posted "Bad Driver Alerts." These are usually just the people whose license plates I can remember. There's actually far more. In fact, there are some days when it seems like everyone on the road is a bad driver.

Most of it stems from the fact that a lot of drivers around here seem to be discourteous, or downright rude. They drive too fast, or too slow, in the wrong lane, or rarely use their turn signals. They disregard your signal when you use it, making changing lanes or trying to exit nigh on impossible.

Of course, all this had to happen this morning as well. After merging back on the interstate off of Highway 30, I of course needed the next exit, Highway 151/High Crossing Boulevard. The on ramp off Highway 30 merges on to the interstate on the left, and of course the exit I needed was on the right. Do you think anyone was paying attention to my turn signal so I could change lanes? Of course not. Everyone was a bunch of selfish fucking bastards too wrapped up in their own need for speed that they weren't paying attention.

Now couple all this with the fact that Maryanne seemed to be upset with me and it all put me in a pissy mood. What a way to start the day.
