No, I’m not getting into the fashion industry now. I don’t have enough brain power to figure out where the real money is! All I’m talking about here is the mini cars that are multiplying like rabbits on the roads! Its not that I dislike these mini-delights, because I suppose you would call my car a mini as well. As far as I can tell, they are good for the environment, smaller engine, use less gas, better mileage, easier to park in small spaces, etc. What I don’t like about them is some of the hair-brained drivers that are operating the things!
Take for instance the other day. I’m waiting a stop light in the centre lane when all of a sudden some bone-head in a mini comes speeding up from my left side and makes a right hand turn at the intersection. Not only does he almost make the turn on two wheels, but he dam near hits me in the process, because he makes such a wide turn with his mini-machine! You would think this guy was driving an eight-teen wheeler and he needed a ten acre field in order to turn the corner for God’s sake! And then he has to criss cross over about three lanes of traffic to finally figure out what lane he wants to drive in. I sometimes wonder if the guy driving this car, has a piece of chain attached to the steering wheel which restricts how far he can turn the thing. I’ll never know, but somehow they all seem to end up on the road the same time I do.
Another thing that bugs me is the drivers that have to park as close to the front door of the store or business establishment as they possibly can! And it dosen’t seem to matter whether it is a small or large vehicle. I have seen them park the vehicle with one or two front wheels on the sidewalk in front of the store, with the bumper literally a metre from the door! What the hell is wrong with people who do that? They seem to have no concern for others, especially seniors with a walker, and mothers with baby strollers, etc.
And dare I say it, but usually it is some young guy or chick who bounces out of the vehicle and into the store. They should be amoung the healthiest people around, and they could very well park some distance away and walk. And on many occasions, they have been seen parking in the handicap spots. I have at times, confronted the driver of said vehicle to remind him or her of that fact, only to be told where to go, and what to do to myself when I get there! The foul mouthed little ********’s, I might add.
Oh well, I had better chill out, the blood pressure starts to top out just about now. So I will shut down for now and take a break. More later.
