Rudes

Starting to feel like a standard these days, and one part of the ‘new normal ‘ (gah! I HATEZ that term,,,) or least around here. Saw A LOT of it in August when I went to deal with the passing of the mom unit. Never thought I would see it as much as I have here.

Example from today. Passing a line of cars, legal like, on left hand lane, speed well above posted to pass, and Dood is up my ass giving me shit in the mirror. Wasn’t there when I took the lane, wasnt even close. But in my mirror, he was close enough that i could make out his crooked top teeth and could NOT see his headlights. I get past the cars, get back in the slow lane and dood stayed up my ass cussing and flipping the bird and being a general jackass, all with the fast lane wide open.

Wanna play stoopid, I can go there too.

Slammed on the brakes and tried to get a paint sample off his bumper.

Musta been enough, because he locked up his tires, then about flipped his SUV to change lanes, again, flipping me the bird as he passed.

Whatever, I wasn’t even pissed off. Just it seems to be getting more often that I see road rage happening, either vicariously through other people reports, or personally like the above incident, or last October when different dood tried to blow my brains out. (has it been a full year? Sheesh, time doesn’t slow a bit, doit?)

And its not just on the road, it just seems thats where most people feel comfortable wielding a 2 ton weapon wil-he nil-he. I see RUDE becoming commonplace in the stores too. And surprisingly, mostly from wimmenz.

If this is a change related to the rest, keep it, don’t want it. If its reaction TOO the rest,,,, Ok, maybe I get it, but sure don’t have to like it.

And maybe its that some still practice restraint, and others just don’t give a fuck anymore. To that, I say wait till those restraining, stop. Shit gets real wild west REAL quick then,,,,
