6. You think you have it bad...
I live in Alabama (I love the state) however, over 70% of Alabamians voted for * in Alabama. So the other day as I'm fighting my way home on the interstate, I realize 7 - 8 out of every 10 cars is driven by a complete idiot.

No wonder...

7. Oh and Weekends can be worse..
Cause you're not sharing the road with the M-F 9-5'ers who drive everyday on that route and are more adept at it...you're sharing it with Saturday Drivers! They're amateurs!

8. Not to mention half the cars are people that have been out drinking
so everyone's weaving like crazy, and racing, and other stupid stuff.

I need my own planet, invitation only. The secretary's position has already been filled.

2. Calm down...are you home now?
It seems like every time I leave my house, the idiots are on the road, just to bug me. The other day, it was idiot animals. In one fifteen minute drive I had a weiner dog, a german shep, and a rott jump out right in front of my car. I managed to avoid all three of them, but decided it was animal idiot day.

3. First it was the dumbfucks at Starbucks, on BOTH sides
Edited on Sat Feb-19-05 08:37 PM by DS1
of the counter. The two dipshits who stood in line for 4 minutes talking, THEN decided it was time to figure wtf they wanted, while asshole number 3 bumped into me twice - hard - and covering me with his liquored up breath.

Then some idiot decided it would be fun to run across Route 9, in the dark, wearing all black but for his shopping bags.

At Whole Foods the cashier decided to just walk away.

The only redeeming quality for the day was that Stop & Shop are selling those large bars of Cadbury's chocolates for a buck each.

Oh, an that latte was weak as hell, good thing I didn't tip the little fuckers.

17. Good point. It's like a terristrial Maximum Overdrive, where instead
of an alien craft inside a comet beaming codes to make machines homicidal, the President's own idiocy is beamed up into space, amplified, and shared across the nation.
