About Commuting

Today's topic: why is it that drivers think it's OK to cut in front of other cars in heavy traffic? I'm not talking about signalling, checking mirrors, and then merging. I'm talking about Church Street, which has two lanes. The left lane is for traffic going straight (down Church St) and the right lane is a "turn only" lane onto 8th (or is it Rosa Parks or Franklin Rd or Metrocenter Blvd?...but the Nashville street name rant must be saved for a different day.) This is a common occurrence. On heavy traffic days the left lane could be backed up for a couple blocks while the right lane is wide open. Not so many people want to turn right. I get that. But it amazes me that certain drivers think they are more important than the rest of us and zoom down the right lane and cut into the left lane in front of the rest of us who have been patiently and politely waiting. Who do these people think they are? Let's look at it a little differently...let's say there's a line at the check-out at the grocery store. Would that person blatantly cut in line in front of the rest of us who have been waiting? Some may argue, but it's the SAME. DAMN. THING.

So, on my drive in this morning, I saw the Karaoke Kab. Could this be the future of commuting? Think of the fun! Much better than belting out a tune while listening to the radio. I wonder if the "Kab" has speakers that play the music outside of the vehicle also? The potential!!! The next time I need a cab, I'm doing this and I promise I'll take video!
