First I want to apologize for not blogging in a while, especially to my Alliance Bretheren. I intended to get home from the in-laws last evening in time to post some, and vote in the new blog showcase, but my beloved hated turnpike had other ideas.
My in-laws live in Pittsburgh, I live near Allentown. Different ends of the state. To get back here I had to take the Turnpike east to Carlisle, and then I-81 north to where I live.
Frequent readers of the Nap Room know how much I hate the PA turnpike. Its antiquated, and costs too much to ride on. It was World's Fair worthy in 1950, but in 2003, it belongs in a museum.
As I said I rode the turnpike; me, my wife, and our two cats. Traffic was horrible. People were rude, cutting each other off, and honking their horns.
When I stopped at a travel plaza I saw a woman at the vehicle next to mine almost get run over when she didn't move fast enough for a guy in a mini-van backing out of his spot.
"Why don't you move before I run you over" he said.
The woman politely said, "Oh, calm down, it's ok. Merry Christmas"
I love it, killing them with kindness. I would rather just kill them, but that's just me.
What what I do want to know is why people are rude to other people like that. Would he really have run her over? With his wife and small child grinning in his car seat?
People suck.
