I hate driving in Houston

Seriously, drivers are assholes.

I almost got hit and got honked at and given the finger for turning into my friggin driveway yesterday. And Dagger was in the car. I had my signal on and was waiting for the gate to open and the driver tried to pass me on the left to go around. WTF?!

 

Also, earlier this week Mr. Winged was driving home from downtown and noticed a homeless man standing on the curb staring at him as he was approaching. When he got close, the guy ran out in front of Mr. Winged's car. Luckily he was watching so he was able to swerve across two lanes to avoid him and luckily there were no other cars. 

Re: I hate driving in Houston

  • Me too.  Plus I don't do it often enough so I get all panicky about the tolls.

    People do the honk, swerve around thing to me all the time when I'm turning into my neighborhood.  They're widening the street our entrance is off of, and the entrance is all torn up, and super narrow for two cars.  So I'm not whipping in there at top speed.  But the speed limit on the main road is down to 25 for construction anyway, so it's not like I'm stopping people from racing off somewhere.

    I've become a honker since moving here.  You have to be if you don't want to get hit sometimes.  But I HATE a lot of honkers.  HATE the people who do it for something that really can't be helped.

  • I think there should be a pay per honk fee. Like, your horn comes with a preset number of honks (or honk lifetime minutes, whichever). And then you have to pay to reload the honks. I bet people would only then honk only when necessary. Also, it would keep poor people from honking and who really gives a shiit what poor people think of your driving. Am I right?
