Holiday traffic makes me a hermit!

I live in a small town in the rural midwest, I was born and raised in an even smaller town south of my current living location whose population was 900, including the cats and dogs.  I'm by no means a city person, nor do I much care to be in a bigger city.  It amazes me each time the wife and I head to a bigger nearby city to eat out, or catch a flick, of how many stupid drivers there are.  I realize that the the big cities around SW Missouri are small compared to KC and St. Louis, but they have to be a microcosm of drivers every where.  Drivers are becoming more stupid by each passing day, but this time of the year they just come crawling out of the woodwork. 

Some examples I saw this weekend in town, after a short description of weather conditions, as this comes in to play.  The weather for Saturday was rainy and foggy, visibility was not even 1/4 of a mile.  It was semi dark and was just a good day to stay in and sleep.

Drivers I saw:

Light Free - driver isn't smart enough to turn his lights on, I'd be surprised if they were smart enough to come in out of the rain in the first place.  Lights aren't on, and no one is home in these people's heads. 

AstroNotOnThisPlanet's - this guy is on his cell phone making a left turn, and he just stops in the middle of the intersection for a good 5 seconds on a green light.  He didn't bother to move until about 50 cars started honking at him.  He probably works for NASA as his brain wasn't on this planet.

Cole Trickle's - you know the type, bob and weave in traffic..."make a hole buddy because I'm coming in"... typically in rural midwest USA you do not see these types and most people are courteous and will let a person in if they will just turn their blinker on.

Blinkie McNoBlink's - how many cars I seen not use a turn signal until 1ft from the turn when there are cars backed up and zooming around to get to where their going faster.  Tailgate these people at your own risk.

Dually Dooley's - gigantic extended cab, 4wd, jacked up diesel dually driver......dude, why?  In a major city(as major as it gets in hicktown)?  If the sun was out these vehicles would block it out, thrusting the rest of us into perpetual darkness.

Get Off My Bumper or Your Gonna Eat It - no description necessary, name says it all.


Thank goodness our Christmas shopping is done, another trip and I would go postal on someone!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!
