Crap. Don’t you hate it when you are that asshole. You know, THAT asshole that angers you to no end, the one you write about on your blog or call your significant other to complain about what an idiot that person was.
Hi, that was me today. Sorry for adding to the world of incompetent fools. I promise to be more careful next time.
On my lunch break, I ran down the street to grab a quick bite to eat so I could get back to the office before my next meeting. I was sitting at a red light and I knew I would have to make a left turn immediately after the light changed. Being the person I am, my mind was planning ahead. I turned my blinker on in anticipation.
Except I failed to realize that turning my blinker on while sitting at a red light makes the people in the turn lane think I want over there. Duh Megan! Apparently my mind is not using all of its powers of logic and reasoning today. Of course I did not realize this until it was too late.
I was honked at. Not only was I honked at, I received a disgruntled peel out when the other car realized they were waiting on an idiot. Not only was I honked at and the recipient of a peel out, I made a whole line of waiting cars honk at the kind person who was trying to let me over. Um, whoopsie!
So my appoligizies to that guy who was trying to be nice. I am sorry I acting like your sterotypical, ignorant driver. I promise that doesn’t happen often. Really I was just trying to be super prepared for my imminent left turn.
Ooohhhh…sometimes I am that person more than I should be, but it’s usually not quite that accidental. I tend to lose my patience with people who make me follow up on something that is their job to do…I have a theory about how much more time I would have in my life if everyone would just do their job right the first time. So I have been known to maybe be a little more sharp than necessary to, for example, medical billers, DMV personnel, insurance agents….
I think the fact that you are repentant means your slate is wiped clean. You are still going to heaven, in other words. Am not so sure we’ll get to kick it there…
Don’t feel bad! We all have our moments. I had one this morning. I didnt know the right lane next to me was going to have to merge over so I totally made it impossible for this poor lady to get over until the last minute when Cale told me to get over. Oh yeah and then two minutes later, realizing that I was about to miss my exit. Whoops!
