The Phenomena of Tailgaters!
I drive about 32 miles one way to get to work. On Saturday I do my food shopping and on Sunday I visit my kids.
In Southern California that isn't considered a lot of driving. But the phenomena of tailgaters just seems to be just as wretched as if I was always on the road. Needless to say it just chaps my hide to continually be "tailsmooched" by some driver be it a man or a woman from teenagers to old geezers!
I have decided that they are here to stay so in fun I have categorized them. Here they are so just have a good laugh!
Teenage Girl
She will always be driving a Neon or a Soul. They will be driving fast and they tailgate you extremely close albeit for a few seconds or so. This tailgater is in a rush to get someplace so she'll also swerve from lane to lane just to get to her destination. But it doesn't matter how fast she thinks she's moving because the traffic signal will always get her! When you arrive next to her she's hunkered over the steering wheel just biting the bit for that dang green light to come on and then speeding away tailgating and swerving.
Teenage Boy
He will drive a Mustang, some altered Honda or a pickup with hug wheels and those bright white Halogen headlights that bear down on your neck because the pickup is real high. Again, driving fast and as they approach you they will stay on your tail "smooching" it but they will stay there and harass you to get you to speed up. When they don't get their way they will pass you an honk at you also giving you the one finger salute! They too will get stopped at the red light and speeding away as soon as the light turns green. They don't swerve but they speed headlong in a straight shot!
Woman
The strangest of all tailgaters. She will be driving a van or SUV. She doesn't speed or act stupid. She will stay pinned to your tail "smooching" it for miles EVEN IF you 2 are the only ones on the road. But in traffic, too. She won't go around you and when you tap your brake to let her know your feeling uncomfortable she will eventually pass you and look at you wondering why your acting so strange in this completely puzzled look! She's totally oblivious to the fact she's tailgating you.
Man
This tailgater just wants to be a jerk. If you slow down to make him go around he'll just begin feigning a rear end smacking. As if the tail "smooching" wasn't bad enough. He'll be driving a high end car like a Mercedes or a Lexus but sometimes a restored car. When he finally gets tired of playing Rambo he whips around you and tries to stare you down like he's "ready to rumble"!!!! He still thinks he a pimply faced hot rodder full of estrogen!
OK, give me your comments and fav's. I know there are some tail gater's that also chap your hide!!

Road rage
I have recently started driving again since I brought my new car in January. I have since rediscovered a tiny little thing called road rage.
I have to admit I have serious road rage. Don't let my appearance fool you, I can cuss like a pirate if I get really upset. I am not shy when it comes to using my horn. I keep wondering if some of these drivers brought their license instead of paying for them.
Thank God I only live 10 minutes from my office! Even though this is the case I go to the office early to avoid the traffic.
I tell my vice president when she asks why I arrive so early at the office that I worry that I would cuss out another driver for their driving then go to a meeting to a potential client and it is the same person I cussed out.
So I will continue to avoid the early morning traffic and go to the office early.
Have a Terrific Tuesday and avoid the crazy drivers out there!

My latest annoyance
Two steps forward. Three steps back.
Here is my latest annoyance. The recent snow melting has left some crater sized potholes. I found one last night. The pipes are 30 years old. Here is what the bump accomplished.
I see two fixes. Buy some new pipes for $20 each. OR take a steel soup can, slit it lengthwise. Squeeze it to fit and slide it into the pipe and the muffler then tack weld it in place. Either way, a distraction I don't need.

Have you been the victim of a salesperson..??
Happens everyday to everyone...
Last week I had to get my car serviced, so I asked the service man how much for a compartment air filter? He says $28 for the filter and $79 to install it. I asked why so much to install? He said it's very tricky hmmm!!
Little did I tell him I bought one last week for $12 and installed it myself in roughly 2 minutes. It was so easy to install if I left the
in the car and put some treats by the filter she would have deinstalled it less than a minute..
When I was young my dad needed to get the car repaired, so my mom said I'll take it in. He started to laugh, he said if you take it in they will sell you a brand new car. Always sat on my mind
Then years later I was watching this sting operation on an auto repair shop. They set them up, they sent a woman in there saying here car just died on her. The sting operation took out the 1 dollar fuse that resided next to the alternator. When the service man diagnosied the problem he tells her she needs a new alternator for $375......
Auto mechanics must be the best business in the world now. With so many single moms out there when a woman walks into a repair shop here is the service man
there are people in every walk of life trying to take advantage of you, don't let them.....I googled how to install that filter it was a one minute video...salespeople will sell you stocks, bonds annuities cars houses boats and planes...do your homework.....they want to sell the item that brings them the most commission......that's their job
Enjoy your weekend

Reason
Everything happens for a reason, but sometimes i wish i knew what that reason was. I think you have to be in the happening 1rst to find that reason.. Why cant it be the reason before the happening? So that sometimes we may not find ourselves in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Loyalty
A Woman's Loyalty is tested when a Man has Nothing. A Man's Loyalty is tested when a Man has Everything. All was good between you until the above mentioned took place. If you have the upper hand, are you still treating Him/Her the same way? Same to the lower hand, are you being treated the same?
Are you a Leader or a Boss
A BOSS knows everything A LEADER admits mistakes. A Boss tells people what to do A Leader shows how to do things. A Boss criticises A leader gives advice. A Boss talks fast and gives oders A Leader gives directions. A Boss demands respect A Leader earns and deserves respect. A Boss rules with threats not law A Leader shows human kindness. A Boss depends on hearsay A Leader investigates. ARE YOU A LEADER OR A BOSS????
