spotting dumb people in traffic makes me feel better about myself as well. In fact, I make it a point to judge the motorist in front of me harshly at ALL TIMES, one mistake and they get the horn. it is a fun game I play on my commute, called, "scare the boomer".

It is extra special fun in Florida. My favorite motorists are the ones who like to venture out into commuter traffic with no real intent or purpose other than to get in the way.

Bout rear ended an older guy this week

Was merging into HEAVY traffic. I was in the left lane. He comes down the ramp. I couldn't get over in the left lane, so I slowed to allow him to SPEED UP and merge in front of me. Instead dude slows down. I slow down more. He comes to a #### near stop on the exit ramp and I then gun it to get back to a safe speed. Just dangerous when that happens. And when he merged another car had to slam on brakes behind me.

you should keep a constant speed, the guy merging has the responsibility to speed up or slow down
look it up, it's in the manual
don't be that guy

Then that dude would have caused a wreck.

If I drove under the assumption everyone read and followed the driver's manual, I'd have been in dozens of wrecks. And with my mangled, broken arm I could point to the section where the other dude was at fault.

traffic circles confound the tourists. They do not understand that yield and stop are different signals, with different meanings, and that timing is everything. All it takes is one person with the nervous system of a cockroach to hesitate and it adds a minute to everyone's day. Honestly, I do not have a minute.

I like the couple that go for a walk

and the wife has on a mask and the husband doesn’t.
Even my kids make fun of people solo in cars wearing masks. They know how ridiculous it is too.
Remember when they locked everyone in their Chicago high rise apartments and closed the Lake Shore Path to any kind of activity. Yeah, that is great public health. ?????

I used to roll my eyes at these folks - but I gotta say...

My wife takes care of her elderly parents 3 days a week for 8 hours - and she stays masked-up during that time.
She said she frequently forgets that she has on the mask and hops in the car (alone, to come home) and starts driving...

I always wondered if some people in their cars just have it on out of habit. That never happens to me because I can not stand wearing the thing.

I sometimes forget to take mine off, too.

It's like sunglasses or a hat when you've been wearing it all day at work.
Glad to know that I'm at least giving people a laugh when I do.
