Barnacles!
Taking from our little bottom of the sea friend, Mr. Spongebob Squarepants, I have decided to use this word to let loose my frustration on society - just those freaking idiots that can not learn how to use a turning lane.
I mean come on! What is the point of having the turning lane if people don’t plan to use it to turn? There is one location this happens at a lot as I am driving and one day someone is gonna get their ass hit.
I drive the highway in the AM into my office and the off ramp I use goes directly into the road to continue driving - there is no stop or yield. The downfall of this is that there are several locations right off the highway this road services with a turning lane for drivers to move into. Do you think they actually use it? Heck no!
This morning, on my way in, another smart driver that I am following goes on the off ramp, follows it around and then I would say at least a half mile after this conversion decided to stop in the driving lane and then proceeds into the turning lane to turn. What is up with that? Do drivers like this understand what a turning lane is for?
If you plan to move into the turning lane, use your signal, let others know this is happening, then move into the lane, slowing down or stopping to make your turn. DON’T STOP IN THE DRIVING LANE! Um, why? Well, it is called an ACCIDENT!
Dumbass! Barnacles!

And, I hope this left you in a better mood than those barnacles who don’t know how to use a turning lane.

Here is Mississippi for some reason everyone stops their car when they are supposed to be merging. There is no merging people on the freeway stop and the people on the on-ramp stop. Everyone stops, it drives me insane. Plus after 10AM here everyone drives 10mph under the speed limit in both the fast and slow lane. BARNACLES!

Thank you ladies. I must say since writing this post, driving has NOT gotten better at this location. Barnacles!
