Since I'm on a roll with my whining...

I thought I'd give everyone a piece of my mind about the motorcyclist who wanted to try to tell me what to do while I'm driving.

Picture this:

I'm driving along, and it's super heavy traffic. I'm in the HOV lane, because it turns into the exit lane in 20 feet. I need to exit. Suddenly, this motorcyclist pulls up next to me IN BETWEEN ME AND A HUGE TRUCK and matches my speed, regardless of whether I put on my breaks or speed up. The truck gets around me, but the motorcyclist keeps looking in the window - I'm thinking, wtf? why isn't he going on ahead? Is he trying to yell at me 'cause he almost got smushed 'cause he decided to floor it between two huge moving vehicles???

so he finally gets in front of me and he keeps looking behind at me (wtf? why isn't he watching the road?) So I keep making exaggerated "GO!" motions with my hand and mouthing the words "Just go!" at him over and over. And he starts giving me the Australian version of The Bird. And I'm like, "What? Why... What????"

Turns out, he was risking life and limb to tell me that I'm in an HOV lane and need to get over into the super-high-density traffic that's not moving or budging ONE inch. I think he didn't get the fact that I was trying to get to the exit.

*sigh*

What the hell is it with the vigilante motorists?

I also observed a man get OUT of his car at a stop light to SCREAM at the person behind him, who was on their Cell Phone the day before cell phones became technically illegal to talk on while in your car. Does he think he's helping? I don't get it.

If I were the girl in the car behind, I'd have flipped him off and continued talking on my cell phone. Just out of spite.

Anyway... Yeah, that's my rant.
