Some Drivers Are Assholes

Today was a rare day for me to run any errands for my parents, mostly because it required the car and they didn't want to get out of bed. However I was woken up at 7:30 this morning by my dad. Fat chance on the freeway driving, I just got the opportunity to drive by myself. Baby steps, man, baby steps. So before I dive into what happened when I was driving, I have to recall two weird dreams I had.

First off, I realize the first familiar character I dream about in any dream is prone to change into another familiar character, even if those characters haven't met. So for the first dream I dreamt I was at an elementary school friend's house. She kept changing to my other elementary school friends but still still kept in character. I brought over some gift my mom picked out. That was weird.

The other dream proved that people who are consistent in my life are consistent in character if I dream about them (i.e. parents stay my parents). Just dreamt that Lewis was living in my house and got my old room, lucky duck. My mom seemed to like him better and thought I was a burden to raise. No idea where that came from, but it was nightmarish.

So that's that. My errand was at first a coffee run to Peet's. Slight change of plans and everyone wanted bagels instead, so Noah's it was. I went to Noah's still on the phone and was ordering while I was on the phone. I felt extremely rude to the person that worked there, it's a pet peeve of mine for people to be on the phone and tries to multi-task in a public place in a similar environment. I felt bad afterwards. I was glad that they didn't mix up the order though.

I went straight there and back. On my way back, I probably checked the bagel box twice to make sure I got everything. Yeah, I'm paranoid. I'm on an intersection and there's a pedestrian trying to pass the car in front of me. This car had the nerve to stop, letting the person cross, then block their way, and sped off just barely missing his toes. Thank God the guy was okay, but whoever was driving in front of me was a complete asshole. I don't know who else was paying attention to this, but I was furious. There are a lot of drivers out there that are jerks because they're impatient. I was surprised when I passed this car, there was a kid in the passenger seat, too. Would it kill you to stop properly and let some person pass you? You have a kid in the car for God's sake and you were going to risk killing someone in front of your kid if you got into an accident? Unbelievable.
