Do You Have Road Rage For These Reasons?
12 News

Most people wouldn't understand that yes, teenagers have terrible road-rage as well, maybe even a little worse sometimes.

I probably shouldn't have as much road-rage as I do, but when you live in South Carolina, you see all reasons for why you have terrible road-rage. More of it comes from the pure stupidity of people not paying a split of attention to anything but themselves.

Or even that fact that everyone finds the need to be on their phone all the sudden. First, off people, your brain does not have enough reaction time to look down at your phone for x amount of seconds then back on the road and still know what is going on. If your phone means that much to you, PULL OVER.

Being a commuting student, I spend a lot of time on the road and I see all sorts of stupid. From the smallest things as not using a blinker when switching lanes, and yes I say blinker, I am from the North. To cut me off last second where there is no space to even come close to getting between me and someone else.

Now, if you have a blinker on, I may just leave some space for you to get over, but until then, I will continue to follow a safe distance to the car in front so you can't come over. Until then though, please don't even bother trying me, personally.

Something else that really gets me, is the fact the people are willing to get so close to me when DRIVING that I can't see a single bit of the front of their car. At that point, they're practically in your back seat because of how close they feel they must be to you. I may be that person that taps the break so slightly that it doesn't change my speed, it's just a warning of hey, please back up and don't hit me.

Another thing, if you're going to be going under the speed GET OUT OF THE LEFT LANE. That's very bad to go slow, so move over before you get in a car accident because you're going so slow.

One of my big things the bothers me is when people are driving at night without their headlights on. That doesn't even make sense how that is possible-- most cars don't have day running lights that are bright enough to see what's in front of you.

Also, how are you able to see anything without the inside of your car lighting up? I know that your dash is not lit up because that's what turns on when you turn your headlights turn on at night. Oh, my, what a shocker.

Like, how do you even drive, you can't see the road without headlights. I've attempted to drive without headlights on in my neighborhood late at night and couldn't do it. Was 100% impossible, and I have LED daylights. Not even those were strong enough, not to mention I couldn't see anything on my dash.

If you're going to drive, and you don't want to wreck or anything, drive safe and smart, people. Be responsible, look both ways, use your blinker and get off your phone.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
