why are you in such a hurry

well first off i want to say i slept late this morning .and woke up slightly after noon .my dad came in and said "don't you have a doctor's appointment" .i of coarse did and had forgotten .it was scheduled for 1:30 and it was already 1:00 .so i called the doctor's office and told them i was running late and they told me that the doctor was still seeing morning patients .which was my first frustrating happening of the day .so i was taking my time in getting there .i never understood why doctors bother making schedules when they don't bother to keep them .i did end up getting there late and there was a couple that was already waiting .my appointment was of coarse as i said for 1:30 and i heard them say theirs was for 1:45 .then of coarse at 2:15 i was called ahead of them .i know they had to be sitting there thinking "why is this guy going before us when he got here after us?" .and i of coarse felt bad because i had been in their place many times

but on the way there it seemed like every one was in a hurry .people speeding past me going at least 80 .then as i got further on the highway i was in the left hand lane passing a group of cars going slower then the legal limit and this woman flies up behind me and starts riding my bumper .i not wanting to be rear ended turned my headlights on and it of coarse puts my lights in the back on .my hope was that shed back off some .but no .she stayed right on me .it was insane .i don't see how there could have been more then five feet between us .when the right lane was free of cars and i was about to get over i put my blinker on and braked hard several times .yet the crazed woman didn't back off any .i honestly don't think she was paying any attention .as she passed me i looked at her and she didn't appear to be on a cell phone so i have no idea what her deal was

i wish i could say that was the end of everything but it wasn't .the way i was headed the road forks off two lanes to the left and two lanes to the right .the lanes going off to the right narrow down to one lane .the right lane .and there is ample signage telling you to merge right well ahead of when you need to .yet of coarse you always have those drives who think they can go up there then cut over .there was this white car in the left lane next to the truck that was in front of me .i always try to leave plenty of room between myself and the car ahead of me so there were several car lengths .i knew the driver of the white car was going to try to cut in front of me .so i sped up enough to leave no room for the drive to do so .the car slowed down cause i guess she saw there was no room for her to get over in front of the truck thinking i'd let it in .but i held my ground not letting any room for the car to get over .at this point we were where the lane was down to one and the white car was having to drive on the shoulder still thinking i'd let it over but i didn't .the car started coming over anyway and i held my horn down letting it know i'm here and not planning on moving .finally they go the point i wasn't going to let it over and stopped till i passed and weaseled its way in behind me .but as i passed i looked over and saw it was another woman .she had a look on her face as if i was the biggest ass .and i just want to say i'm not trying to make the point women can't drive .because i know plenty men who are bad drivers .it was just happenstance that both drivers turned out to be women
