13 Ways To Annoy Someone With Road Rage

1. Don't use your turn signal.

Jeez! Some people might actually want to know what lane you want to be in or if you might be slowing down soon because you're about to make a turn. Is it so much to ask, for a little heads up?

2. Use your turn signal too late.
Yeah, don't bother putting on your turn signal until you're already in the turn lane.

*Car in front moves into turn lane.*

Oh, I wonder what they're doing! *Car puts on turn signal.* Oh! NOW I get it! ... Really? OR *Car in front throws on breaks.* Whoa! What happened? Animal jump out? Emergency? Biker ahead? *Car puts on turn signal.* Gotcha. Thanks for the warning, pal!

3. Abuse the turn signal.
*Car puts on turn signal.* Okay, you're turning soon. Here, right? No ... There? Not quite ... Maybe the next one? Oh, finally!! Okay, BYE! Thanks for finally getting out of my way!
Then, at other times: We're turning, turning, turning. Done! Straight for now! Hold on, your turn signal's still on ... Are you turning again soon? There? No. There? No. THERE? No ... Turn off your dang turn signal!!

4. Don't pay attention to anything.

5. Don't pay attention to what others are doing.
*
Car in front slams on brakes for the stopped cars in front of him, which could be clearly seen long before.*

6. Don't pay attention for the green light at the intersection.
Spelled out for you: You GO when it's green because there are people behind you who want to make it through the traffic light THIS go-around! While you're at it, don't bother paying attention at any intersection, with or without a traffic light. That's right, time doesn't matter to anyone else, either. La dee da! Take your time, it's only been clear for ... excuse me, how long have you been reading this?

7. Jump out in front of me and then go really slowly.
Oh, I simply adore people who want to mosey their way in front of me and then won't get up to speed, making me slam on my brakes. Certainly! I love wasting gas like that all the time!

8. Drive really slowly in the fast lane.
When people are passing you so easily in the right lane, it means that you need to move over to the right lane. Thank you for following driving conventions, by the way! Really appreciate it!

9. Don't maintain a fairly constant speed.
Oh! We're speeding up now! Wait, why are you slowing down? Are you about to turn, and you're just not telling me? No, sorry, you're speeding up again. Okay. That's cool. (Not.)

10. Bypass the traffic buildup by taking advantage of the merge lane.
Long rant short: Wait your turn!

11. Tailgate Me, Please!
Yes, drive really close behind me. 1) Thank you for making me think that you want to have a car accident with me, and 2) NO I will not speed up WAY past the speed limit for you just so that I can be the one stuck with a ticket.

12. Don't try to go the speed limit.
People should be able to understand if you don't want to go over the speed limit, which tends to be the norm in 'Merica, but please respect that others around you might be in a hurry. Assume the worst; the car behind you might be in an emergency for one reason or another.

13. Ride up next to the person who's trying to merge into your lane.
Yeah, just be straight-up indecent, why don't you? Please!

14. Park Horribly. This includes parking too close to one side, crooked, too far forward/backwards, on the line, over the line, in two spaces or even just next to me when there are many other spaces available.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
