So made the rare decision to leave my cave today and venture out in public, it was not long until I was regretting the decision. To begin with I got caught in the early stages of peak hour traffic, it wasn't too bad until I got off the freeway. I was heading to a mega mall to pick up some stuff id ordered from a jeweller. Now once off the freeway I was on a local high street which also has trams on it, anyone who lives in Melbourne knows, never follow the tram, always pass it as soon as possible. Generally only two groups of people don't do this, ignorant foreigners and immigrants, we can all agree their stupidity is inexcusable the other is the elderly.
These 95 year old codgers, who've long lost the capacity to engage what's left of the brain and body within the same quarter of an hour just plod along behind the tram. Crawling down the road in their 1997 Toyota Camry, like a living breathing road block. I understand its hard getting old and taking their licence off them is horrible for their autonomy but **** them!! Listen pal, I don't care if you flew Spitfires during the war, you cant ****ing handle a Camry you can get the tram!!! Also if you were flying Beaufighters all over the South Pacific, why are you driving a ****ing Japanese car? Old *****!!!
Anyway after I was done down the jeweller, I got back in the Ute and settled in for what I knew would be a crappy drive home, it was full of tailgating morons, (I drive a 2 and half tonne Ute and some knob in a Honda thinks driving up behind me like he's going to ram me is going to be my problem.) other cars wondering between lanes cause the driver is ****ing around with their phone, other idiots who've missed their turning lane so they just hard turn in the middle of 6 lane intersections. Anyway what topped it off for me, the freeway was a car park for as far as the eye could see, the idiot in front of me was weaving between lanes when the average speed was about 20kph cause you know its going to make all the difference when nobody is going anywhere in a hurry. A little bit further along the freeway opens up and we're doing maybe 50kph!!! Now its dark, overcast, the road is wet, a dude on a motorbike starts splitting lanes, dangerous and dumb in the conditions but hey he's on a motorbike and people need organs. The arsehole who was 5 minutes earlier weaving between lanes now starts to swerve left and right to block the dude on the motorbike passing him. I was absolutely dumbfounded.
