10 Things People With Road Rage Hate

For those who are like me and get labeled the typical, "Masshole," driver: you know the ins and outs of driving frustrations. It comes with the nickname that you're prone to road-rage, road anxieties, and a lot of eye-rolling occurs towards other drivers. Everyone has their triggers: does your driving cause anyone annoyance?

1. People Who Stop at Green Lights

Green means go. Vert signifie aller. Medios verdes van. Am I making myself clear?

2. Traffic

I think this applies for everyone with and without road rage. I just especially have a trigger with it because I hate being late and I hate feeling trapped and traffic is so lovely at doing both.

3. People Who Drive Below the Speed Limit

It's a speed limit. Not a suggestion, and yes you can be ticketed for going TOO slow.

4. People Who Tail Gate

As hypocritical as it is: we will now drive slower. Actually, probably the speed limit or below it. Just to agitate you. Even though we would be furious if someone did this exact same thing to us.... but let's be real: I was probably going over the speed limit, so why are you tailgating me?

5. People Who Stop at Yellow Lights

Just please accept the challenge and go. You do not need to slam the brakes and risk the safety of the cars behind you and around you.

6. Being Told We Drive Like A-holes

We already know and we are proud!

7. Sitting Passenger to a Slow Driver

Most likely how they feel in my car, but at least I get places in a timely manner.

8. Priuses and Minivans

No offense, okay you'll probably take some offense, but a good 90% of people who drive these cars: drive awfully. Please stay in the right lane on the highway, stop braking so early for stop signs, and always remember your blinkers.

9. Getting Stuck behind School buses

Can kids seriously NOT walk 200 feet to their street or house? We must stop every quarter mile to drop off another one or three lazy children?

10. One Lane Roads You Can't Escape On

If you break down: I am stuck. If you drive slow: I am stuck behind you. I can not pass you, I can not make you go faster, I can not avoid the traffic situations. One way lanes are the absolute worst idea of transportation history.

No, not all drivers get mad or anxious or frustrated. Also, no, not all Massachusetts drivers are this way nor are all road-raged individuals from Massachusetts. It also comes in more forms than middle fingers, honking horns, and swearing bloody murder in the privacy of your own car. Which ever way you express it: just please drive safely.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
