Howard and the Merge Lane

(transcript)

I was driving down the highway the other day, the speed limit was about 55, of course I was doing about 49.

I was in the right lane, you know where slow folks are usually found, and I noticed one of them signs that tells you another lane might be merging into mine.

I stayed in my lane, and uh, as I got up to the merge lane a car just kind of appeared out of nowhere and just about bought the right side of my car!

And I was like, “Whoooa!”, and when I looked over at the driver of the car, just as he was slammin’ on his brakes, and rammin’ himself into the guardrail to keep from running into my car, he done thowed up his hand and showed me his middle finger.

And I was like, “What in the hell?” Who does this guy think he is anyway? I mean, it’s not like I own the road, but I was here first.

Turn Signals

This random recording (the audio of which is still encapsulated within the confines of my iPhone) came as a result of ignorant drivers with which I was associated on Route 220 earlier this evening.

"You know turn signals weren’t designed and installed on cars so that when small children saw them blinking, they would stare and say, “Oooh pretty!” They’re there for you to signal other drivers (pun intended) of your intentions, whether it be to change lanes, or turn down the street. USE THEM!"
