| Seriously, how stupid are some people? |
You would think I snapped this picture on a street in Bangkok. But no, it's
a busy main road in Australia. What is it about Sunday that brings out the
crazy drivers?
I don't consider myself an aggressive driver. Sure, I fantasise about being
the next Ayton Senna (pre deadly crash), and I love a good horn honking when
required, but I am most certainly not a road rager. That is until today. I now
fear I am perilously close.
I felt the need to honk passionately no less than five times today on a short
drive to the airport. It wasn’t because I was hangover and insanely tired (read
no patience). It’s because the quota of stupid people in the world is rising. I
swear it’s true.
Take the guy above for example. Who in the world would think
it’s a great idea to strap a double bed mattress to the top of your little four
cylinder car? And, don’t even get me started on the stupid woman who blocked
the turning lane because she had no idea where she was going, then almost
caused a crash as she came to a stop trying to work out exactly where she was.
Today's biggest laugh came from my realisation that I am using the car horn
as a punching bag. It’s where I take out my frustrations. As my back seat passengers
rolled around in fits of laughter, I beeped the horn long and hard at the first
sign of any traffic infringement.
The upside is everyone’s a winner. I feeling calmer post beep and the roads
are safer as I’m keeping all of the idiots on their toes. I’m actually proving community
service.
