Andy Thinks It Must Be A Full Moon

So I try really hard to stay away from the cynical view of people are stupid, really really stupid. But sometimes it is just so hard. I can't believe the way that people act sometimes. Today I was so annoyed that you even get picture diagrams to help illustrate how incompetent people are. So enjoy.

So we are going to the store, as we are turing into the store we are nearly killed by an idiot driver. Let me explain how.

See the box marked us? That is us. We were headed west and pulled into the turn lane to turn left into the store, thus following marked driving rules. See the box marked B? That is idiot driver who from now on will just be referred to as driver B. She had been driving behind us also traveling west. After we pulled into the turn lane she pulled out around us and pulled into the other turn lane going the wrong direction, then when traffic was clear she tried to turn in front of us to get into the store parking lot first, nearly hitting us. All while talking on her cell phone. Andy had to hit the brakes being as we didn't realize what she was doing until it was too late.

So, I don't care what you think, you can not go around people and turn from the wrong side of the road. It is against the rules.

Then we go into the store. Boston wouldn't behave so he got to go back out to the car with Andy so I finished the shopping with Scarlett. I was at the checkout. I was standing in front of the cart so I could unload my groceries onto the conveyer belt. My cart still had my purse and baby stuff in it. The lady behind me loads her one item onto the conveyer belt as well, then proceeds to put her water and purse and other possessions into the front of my basket.

Ummm, k.

I stand there not quite sure what is happening, when it is time for my stuff to get rung up I just start pulling the cart will me. She is all surprised and asks, oh is this your cart?

YES ITS MY CART!!! DO YOU NOT SEE ALL OF MY POSSESSIONS IN THERE?

Just because my groceries are out doesn't make it fair game. All of my other stuff is still there. It is not appropriate to share carts with strangers ever, or to just take it while someone is using it.

So we get back in the car and head home. Only to see another idiot driver almost cause a huge accident that would have hit us in the backlash. And for your reading pleasure, another handy diagram.
Car A is in the turn lane waiting for traffic to clear to turn left. Car B is at a store also waiting for traffic to clear to turn left. Now here is where it gets tricky, car B (or idiot driver) YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY. You have to wait for car A to move before you can turn. Car B doesn't care. Car B flies out in front of us and turns left in front of car A just as car A is trying to turn left. Lucky that car A slams on the brakes in time to make up for car B's stupidity.

So there you go. Just a couple of life lessons and driving lessons that can benefit everyone.

See, I knew I would feel better after getting that out there.
