In my quest to map out potential alternate routes to work, I took a route that I know works, even if it's somewhat longer. My regular route to work uses a toll road, which is quite quick for me at the times I'm using it. (During rush hour, of course, it's not so quick, but I'm not using at rush times anymore.)
Well, the alt. route I took is longer partly because of traffic lights, which I loathe, but it also goes through a section of the county where lots of little old ladies are driving, and thus driving very slow.
What pissed me right off, though, was something else.
I'm passing through a commercial area, lots of little strips of shops and so on. As I'm passing one of these, a pickup truck swings out in front of me, exiting the little parking strip in front of the shops. So I have to slow right down for him...
...and watch as he promptly turns BACK INTO the parking lot at the next entrance!
I checked as I passed-- there was no obstruction in the parking lot. No concrete divider, no cars or people. This asshole-idiot-@#$%head literally pulled out of the parking lot into traffic, JUST to turn back into the same parking lot he just left.
I know that it could have been a case of "oh crap, I forgot something" but that was a poor excuse to frustrated-by-traffic-and-red-lights me at the time. I cussed up a storm as I passed him by.
