I drive 60 miles, each way, to get to and from work.  During my daily travels I come across people that just make me want to SCREAM.  After all, I am the best driver in the world.  I feel entitled to judge!!

The following is proof that I no longer have any patience for Southern California traffic.

 

My Daily Traffic Grind

By Darlene Orr 

 

   An average day of traffic for me

Is a sixty mile trek that takes two hours or three

   I can't understand why they all drive so slow

It's always backed up no matter which way I go

 

   I take side roads that wind 'round mountain tops

But I get to the top, and the cars have all stopped

   It's as if they're afraid to go down the hill

By driving at speeds faster than "stand still"

 

   Then I'll jump on the freeway where speeds should be fast

But I sit in one place and just burn up my gas

   I creep and I crawl just inching my way

I count roadside reflectors to pass by the day

 

   When I finally get to what's slowing the heap

It's a broken down car on the side of the street

   Or maybe it's a cop writing a ticket or two

You act as if he'll stop writing just to go after you!

 

   And what about all those construction crews  

Who all stand around with nothing to do

   They have the lanes merging from four down to one

Five hundred cars, all jumping the gun

 

   The girl with the make up, the guy with the phone

Not paying attention to what's on the road

   Too busy doing what should not be done

They rear end a car, another traffic jam begun

 

  And there's one final thing that I'll say before I go

The one last thing I want you to know

   For you people that tailgate, with your foot on the gas

Take your foot off the pedal, and get off my a_ _ !!!!!!!!!!
