hahahahaha As I read all those, I'm the (what's the plural of) nemesis of you guys, I'm thinking just about all of those could have been me - not in person, as I haven't been to Green Bay in over 30 years (or Kentucky in over 20).
Driving is a form of competition. Getting a car or two ahead is meaningless in practical terms - just like if we were completely honest with ourselves, even winning/losing a round of golf or match of tennis doesn't ultimately make or break our lives. Even (apology for heresy) if the Packers win or lose, great or painful as it may feel, it ain't gonna save or kill any of us.
What I really really hate is the plethora these days of left turn signals, etc. - basically annoying little things set up as handicaps (in the golf sense) for less competent drivers. Wade, I LOVE 4 way stops - the few that are left. They are one of the last vestiges of survival of the fittest. Given your political stance, how could you FAVOR government intrusion in the form of stop lights? The only things better than a 4 way stop is a 2 way stop or a yield sign or best of all, a completely unmarked intersection. When I come to a 4 way stop, there can be 3 people who SHOULD go before me, but if those dumbasses hesitate, I will go ahead of them and look down on them for their incompetence. As the outbreak of these damn left turn lanes, etc. have increased, I have increased my zeal for finding short cuts through parking lots, making U-turns after right on red, etc. If a damn cop tries to stop me for cutting through private property (which a public parking lot ain't), I'll just say, "Can you prove intent? Maybe I intended to buy a Taco, then I changed my mind."
And the most annoying thing of all that is creeping in: you know how it is supposed to turn green the one way when it turns red the other? Well, the traffic control idiots now have this super-annoying little pause where it is red every direction for a second or two before turning green. That just drives me up the wall.
As for any rants against individuals, in most cases, I grudgingly respect somebody for beating me at my own game. In all other cases, well, that's why God gave us a middle finger.
