So I'm following this guy into work the other day driving a black Ford Escape, license plate 340-TPF, and he is letting everyone, I mean everyone, pull out of the side streets onto the main road ahead of him.
It's OK to do this once or maybe twice. But it's one of those unwritten rules that you have a quota for these things. It got to the point where he was going to cause an accident because of his absurd generosity.
No one expects you to let out every car that's looking to pull onto the main road. If there was a guy fumbling with his car keys, balancing his coffee and he looked like he was going to eventually get on the road, this guy would have waited to let him out.
Generosity is a good thing. But on the road, there's a quota.
Some of us have to get to work.
Oh man, 117 is a nightmare in the morning. Especially Bolton Center. People do that at the blinking yellow light, and when my husband and me used to commute in together, it would drive him crazy, since there was tons of traffic on 117 and not on the feeder road. People!

I'd almot prefer a full fledged traffic light there with an appropriate light timer. People have no comprehension on how traffic works when there's a two mile backup on 117 and a two-foot backup on "Whattaquadasomethingorother Hill Road"

You know what I mean, then...)
Be careful out there.

No matter where you are, traffic + bad drivers = headache.
And our reality is--it's not going to get better. More people = more ect.
My, I think I may be in somewhat of a black mood today. :p
