Dear Idiots:

When it's daytime, and the pavement is dry, and there's hardly any traffic, and the speed limit on the surface street we're both driving on is 35 mph, IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO DRIVE 20 GODDAMNED MILES PER HOUR!! Really. I'm not kidding! Would I lie to you?

When the stop sign is still about 3 blocks away, IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO PUT YOUR BREAKS ON AND DRIVE THOSE FINAL 3 BLOCKS AT THE LIGHTENING SPEED OF 5 FREAKIN' MILES PER HOUR!!! No, really! You don't need to do that. I promise.

When you approach said stop sign, and there are several cars there waiting for their turn to go, IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO STOP 3 CAR LENGTHS BACK!! I can absolutely agree with you that stopping inside the trunk of the car in front of you is poor form. No problem. But THREE CAR LENGTHS????? What? You afraid there is a monster in the trunk of the car ahead of you, which will jump out if you stop any closer?????

Listen to me, idiots. You may think you're being safe, but really, YOU ARE AS MUCH A ROAD HAZARD AS THE DUMB FUCK WHO INSISTS ON TAILGATING, RUNNING STOP SIGNS, AND SPEEDING!!!!

If you're that scared of driving, stay home, take a taxi, get a friend to drive you, or take the bus. Just do the rest of us a favor and STAY AWAY FROM THE DRIVER'S SEAT!!!!

A lesson from my parents: There will always be those who have more than I do. There will always be those who have less than I do. It is not my job to worry about those who have more. It is my job to reach out to those who have less.
