Dumb-ass drivers

This is a joint kvetch from Mother-in-law-ette and Pop-ette on 2's side.

Being retired folks, we have more time to drive around doing whatever our hearts' desire. During our shopping, day trips and just tooling around our blood pressure begins to rise dealing with the discourteous, disrespectful and downright RUDE drivers.

We're shocked that these Beemers, Infinitis, Acuras, Hummers and the like are not equipped with signaling devices! These cars constantly speed up and then cut us off causing our blood to boil. Now.........we must assume that this is a manufacturing problem because if it is the drivers, (which Pop-ette believes), there must be gazillions of dumb-arse drivers out there! We really just want a couple of seconds warning before you scare the sh-t out of us. Is that too much to ask?

Our other kvetch is regarding drivers' failure to comprehend the meaning of 'MERGE.' The American Heritage Dictionary defines this word as "to blend together gradually." Now the key word is gradually. So why is it necessary for these RUDE drivers to muck up traffic by speeding up to the absolute end of the merge lane and then push their way into our lane? We guess it's too much to expect these guys to anticipate the results of their non-thinking and lack of civilized driving skills. Pop-ette says they just don't give a flying F@#$! I like to believe that they just don't have a good grasp of the English language.

Anyway, we'll keep tooling around and enjoying the ride...because we're off the clock.
