Some drivers deserve to be shot! After 6 cups of coffee... I'm surprised it wasn't you, peeing on the side of the road. That's an idea. Next time, load the coffee canon, take aim and fire at all the annoying drivers. Find relief, in more ways than one.

A guy was taking a leak near the highway in the morning?!? Wow, um, okay :P Some people should definitely NOT be driving, I agree with you on that. You really made me laugh with the honking thing ;)

Yeah, stopping for that sixth cup may not be a good idea.
Driving is not so bad on the highway, if traffic is light, even though it was a waste of your time.
When I was in field support, I once drove 100 miles one-way to a customer to find the problem was, his PC was not plugged in.

I pictured you as Michael Douglas in that movie where he just gets fed up and flies into a rage! lol You had me laughing at you honking at everyone - did you do it to the beat of a song?

Ms. Anthropy....It could have been me except I ran into Starbucks and used their really clean restroom :)
Lol@ the coffee canon

Sarah...Near it is a pretty accurate description..He had his door open to hid his "business" and was taking care of it (business) right there over the white line...

Joe...But it was that 6th cup that cave me that little something extra I needed...I love my grande Americano...
I'm lovin that ...not plugged in..ha ha

Kristy...THAT is the movie I was thinking of when I got home....I promise that next time I will pick a good piece of music to rampage to :)

Hey, little mister, did your mother not tell you to turn the other cheek, be better than everyone else? Maybe next time you can just say a lot of FUCKs in your car so I don't have to worry about you becoming the next headline for road rage. LMAO.

All of those drivers desperately need one of those robotic cars that drive by themselves, that way they can sit in the back seat and scratch their crotch while texting all they want without endangering "us" normal people.

Momma Fargo..Mom did indeed tell me that, but my dad always told me I could think it, just so long as I didn't act on it...See there is a reason for rage in the name of my blog after all :)

Note: no idiot drivers were hurt in the making of this post (but I thought some really evil things)

Desertson..Ah yes robotics would be nice...except I would get nervous like in IRobot that the car wouldn't do what I wanted it to...or maybe that's just my paranoid side coming out a little bit.

“Grasshopper, it is only when we find the path to inner-serenity, that we can cease following the path of others, which always leads us to anger…”

Screw that, I hate those assholes too. If they’re gonna pass a “hands free” law, then why the hell don’t they enforce the damn thing? Obviously, I have yet to find the proper path…

Pat...I think the path you've found is just perfect..(mostly cause I'm on the same one)

Really good post! And right on the money.

Many companies are getting smarter--not sending folks off to meetings in other places. Very few things, including seminars, that cannot be covered just as well and at far less cost by using Go2Meeting or similar interactive setting. Except it's not as lucrative to the seminar providers.


Now, go be a hero in your firm and do the legwork to establish interactive meetings. Do a pilot project and show it's effectiveness.

But, if you have to drive, just get out of the way of the idiots. That's why I almost live in my mirrors. It's often the drivers coming up from behind that catch you by surprise.

My hubs laughs at me but I have this fantasy where I rig up lasers into my headlights and shoot the bad driver's vehicle, disabling it immediately. Like I'm in some kind of cool X Wing Fighter but not killing, just disabling. Ahhh a girl can dream...

Thankfully it's illegal to operate a mobile phone (texting etc) while driving in the UK, so it doesn't happen much (that I've seen). That said there are too many idiots on the road. I find it amazing that you can't own a gun in he UK but they let anyone who can afford the fee drive several tonnes of potential death around without due regard to other road users and pedestrians.

A friend of mine suggested that there should be a facebook-esque website where you could report the idiots of the road. If you appeared three times then the DVLA would remove your licence.

Sounds like sensible policies for a sensible Britain to me, with the General Election coming up in two weeks I may suggest it to some politicians. Here's hoping.

TGG

Yes Sir, I can relate to the description you gave, hell we see that everytime we get on the freeway it seems other than the guy taking a leak.

California and other states also do need some help---help getting these idiots off the road, give the DMV employees some training rather than giving out licenses to those who actually fail because with this many idiots on the road I wonder if on the furlough days you can get a free license? And when are these states going to begin enforcing the laws they pass, hands free hell---text, read the paper, comb your hair, and take a nap all while driving to work.

Seriously I am thinking the old coffee cannon just may work

I love the honking at texters!!! I do this too.

I drive and fly a lot for my work....

I try to leave a the buttcrack of dawn so there are very very few cars on the road.... I don't handle traffic well either.... lol
