I feel the need to re-post my rant about the Tallahassee drivers because the people up here still totally suck. Especially the people who were driving yesterday. Alexa and I were on our way to Tallahassee for music class. We go every Friday and by the time we leave the house it's after 9:00 so most people are already at work. So we were driving up 319 (which is the two lane road into Tally which is usually pretty busy making the chances of passing someone slim to none) stuck behind someone going ridiculously slow, as usual. Finally, after getting to the area where it changes to four lanes and I can pass the crazies, I was driving along minding my own business when some idiot pulled out right in front of me. I mean, she had to have done it on purpose. There was no one else around me...no one in the other lane and she pulls out of a shopping plaza super slow, completely cuts me off and continues to drive at 30mph (the speed limit there is 45). So of course I had to slam on my brakes and swerve around her so that I don't slam into the back of her car. And obviously I had to give her a dirty look as I passed by her. Would you like to know what she was doing as I gave her that dirty look? Putting on her freaking make up!!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?! You just almost killed me and my kid so that you can look like something special when you get to where ever you're going?! You can't wait for a red light? Or better yet, why didn't you touch up your make up while you were parked in the parking lot you just came out of?! Is it really necessary to do that as your car is moving? I feel like it's even worse then the whole texting and driving thing. I mean, really, since we are talking about making that illegal, we might as well make putting make up on while driving illegal too. Or any other stupid thing people do. It's a total lack of common sense.
And since we are on the whole driving in Tallahassee thing, I have another little thing that irritates me. You know the road I was talking about, 319? On the way out of Tallahassee it merges from 4 to 2 lanes. The speed limit is 55. I swear that people make it their life goal to go as fast as they can and pass everyone around them, which normally I'd be OK with except that after the merge is done, they drop back down to 45 or 50. That is not cool. If you were going to go the speed limit (or less), just stay in the right hand lane and let those of us who have no regard for speed limits pass you! Instead, what happens is that you have lines of cars going 80mph trying to pass one another and then once they've merged, it's down to 45. Dumb asses. And I know what you are going to say, 'oh, well maybe they got stuck behind the person in front of them, blah blah blah.' Nope. Because on multiple occasions I have moved over to the right to let someone pass me (with no one in front of me) because they were coming up so fast. And guess what they do once the merge is over? You got it, down to 50mph. I think they have like some secret set of rules that they have to know if they learn how to drive here. It must be on the drivers test because I feel like everyone does the same thing. Maybe I'll go over to the DMV and ask. They will probably deny it because I'm not from here. I'm an outsider. It's a conspiracy.
