Beware of holiday traffic!

[beeristasty]

Hey everyone, just a reminder to be even more careful of the mindless holiday drivers. I just made a jaunt out to the mall today. What happened? Well.. 1) on the interstate, there was a nice old man in a lexus suv who decided it was a good idea to share lanes during the holidays, the dude didn't even look to merge across 2 lanes... I lay into my horn and the guy still didn't stop moving over until I accelerated and we were almost nose to nose. Just gave me this oblivious look like he didn't do anything wrong... 2) toys r us parking lot: I was scoring rock band II for $110. Was there all of 30 minutes (15 waiting in line, god bless the bible belt and its blue laws) and as I'm walking out to my car, I see a minivan "massaging" the rear fender of an older beat up car. Dude pulls back out and drives off to another parking spot. 3) as I was standing there looking at this idiot drive off, I'm noticing a the car next to me (all the way in the back of the parking lot) is a little too close for my comfort. Looking at my door, I see a fresh ding - with the same color paint as the car next to me. Great, just what I wanted for xmas.

It's not everyday I witness this level of stupid, seems to only happen during the holidays... So guys and gals, if you love your cars (and safety), I would raise your level of attention out on the roads, and park where you think it would be 99% safe - or borrow someone else's car to go shopping.

+1 people are ruthless and carless when parking and getting out of their cars, they dont pay attention and stupid things happen

I think if you have an AARP card or are qualified, mandatory driving tests every 4 years...me included.

i had a blowout with one of my co workers.i was walking to the company xmas party with my girl when i go to look at my car(you know,one of those last minute safety checks for ur car) and i see an open door and it is against my car.... ...i go over there and say"WTF my door!" and shes im sorry and then i move her door and check for any dings or chipped paint.turns out she "tapped" it. so then i start walking away and i see her hit it again! "omg wat did i just tell you, dont hit my car!" of course she didnt care cuz she had one of those cheap green ford escort with different color bumper and hood.haha...so the next day she complains that my girl was mad dogging her and i tell her," So,thats her job"....hahaha.

p.s... no dings.
