L.A. Can't Drive

Idiocy Meter

Asshole Meter

The driver of this car had a self-righteous smug look on her face, as if she were making some sort of stand for human rights in Darfur, though knowing nothing of the subject or even where Darfur is on the map. Yes, there are times when one chooses to make a statement such as easing up on the accelerator if you’re getting blatantly tailgated and high-beamed on local streets, and you’re already going 35-40 mph. But this old vagoid and her senile mother just sat in the carpool lane in rush hour traffic going 50 mph, creating a long string of cars behind her. In fact, she was going so slow that traffic in the non-carpool freeway lanes was moving faster than her. Why didn’t she just exit the carpool lane? Did she feel she had a right to drive there, no matter how slowly, because of the drooling passenger to her right? She wouldn’t be moving any slower if she drove in any of the other lanes on the road, that’s for sure. So what’s your guess? Inconsiderate? Oblivious? Ornery old hag? A couple of cars ahead of me couldn’t wait for an opening and felt the need to cross the double yellow line to get out from behind her and then cut right back in front of her. What they did was still illegal, but believe me when I say that this b*tch was annoying.
