Driving

First of all let me admit that patience isn't one of my top ten virtues. Pause here for the readers who know me to finish

Sometimes I am quite patient. When I work with seniors, when I am with the Kitchen Band members and when I am waiting for an open lane at the pool. Okay, maybe not so much at the pool...

However, what drives me crazy are people that sit at GREEN lights. They gaze out the window, take a sip of coffee, roll down their windows to hear the chirp or simply forget they are behind the wheel of a moving vehicle.

GREEN means go! You see the light turn green, you step on the gas and then the moves. It's like magic.

I was talking about this to my incredibly patient friend I told her I wished I had a big piece of neon pink plastic shaped like a pizza that I could just sail out of the window and toss it on the side of a person's car. The neon pink blob would read "GREEN means go!" thought that might be a safety hazard. Then I suggested a big sign that would pop out of the top of my car that read "PUT YOUR FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL DOOFUS" but she also vetoed that idea.

My next idea was to get a loud speaker and then say "hey you, in the red Oldsmobile, step on the GAS" and yep, that idea wasn't popular either.

So, I've settled for muttering to myself and trying to refrain from honking the horn on my car.

The next time you are at a stop sign and wishing you were on Dancing with the Stars instead of focusing on driving please remember that I could be the person waiting behind you that might just be the day my patience wears out.
