Getting2Work

I don’t usually write during the week because I am just too darn tired after I get home from the long commute.  But I caught a birdie today.

I didn’t leave work too late today (left before 4:30pm) and was doing my usual commute home.  Same old traffic … speed up … slow down at all the usual places.  I am not a crazy driver and I do follow the flow of traffic.  But apparently my way of following the flow was not acceptable to this young lady behind me.  My way was actually leaving enough room in case someone wanted to cut in between me and the car in front without me having to slam on my brakes.  But this young lady’s way of following was to be able to read every scratch mark on the car’s bumper in front.  At one point she was gesturing for me to move as if there was any place to go.  So I gestured back “Like where do you want me to go?”  Because seriously I was in line with a bunch of cars and there were cars going about the same speed on our right.  Finally she couldn’t take it anymore and had to move over to our right lane and then gave me the bird!  So I kindly returned the gesture!  And where did she wind up?  One car in front of me!  Riding up that guy’s you know what!!!  All that for what?  We all wind up crawling by the time we get to around the airport area.    Well, maybe she doesn’t drive this route every day and doesn’t know the 405 commuter rhythm.
