The car paused at the end of its driveway and then proceeded
into the lane in front of me, meaning it probably saw me, and saw that I was
close, and decided to pull in front of me anyway.
Then drove slowly.
It happened just now. It happens seemingly every day either on
the way to work or on the way home.
It’s like there was a memo at the beginning of the summer
that told drivers to disregard oncoming traffic when they are leaving home and
hope that other vehicles aren’t so close that they will crash into your driver’s
side door or rear fender. It’s your road. It’s your world.
I’m generally a patient man. A calm personality blessed with
a reasonable and even charitable mind that allows people the benefit of the
doubt.
But these people.
I am considering speeding up, moving into the adjacent lane,
and passing them with the horn blaring and middle finger in the air. An even
more sinister voice wants to cut in front of them just as I pass, forcing them
to brake hard and spin out.
You can shred that memo when you see my fierce orange Jeep
Renegade cruising in your direction. Stay in your damn driveway until I pass or
feel my wrath.
We reach a stop sign. The car turns in one direction, and I
go the other. They are safe this time. So am I.
I wonder what song will come on next.
