16 Ways People Drive That Just May Make You Angry

The automobile was one of the finest inventions ever. With the ability to get you from point A to point B whenever and wherever that may be. As long as there was a road ahead of you, the adventure was on. There are ups and downs to every invention, though. When you’re taking a drive, chances are you’ll see or witness something that’ll make you angry. Let’s face it, we’re not all perfect drivers, although some claim to be. So, here’s 16 of the many things you see others doing on road that may drive you mad.


1. What's a Turn Signal

It doesn’t seem like that big of a deal but from merging lanes on a highway to taking a last minute turn, the turn signal is a form of communication that shouldn’t be misused. And it drives everyone crazy when that one person in front of you doesn’t remember to use it.


2. They Call Me Speed Racer

Weaving in and out of lanes is one of the most dangerous ideas. Not only does it put you at a risk but it puts others.


3. I just need to finish this chapter


Not sure how some can drive and read a book but I’ve seen it. Crazy I tell you.



4. Yeah, I Drive On The Shoulder During Stopped Traffic

I don’t know what it is that makes you feel more important than the line of cars in front of you, but patience is key in this situation. We all hate traffic, but unless it’s an emergency, don’t be that guy who thinks he can drive around all the stopped traffic.


5. I Totally Wait Until Last Minute To Merge Into Another Lane

You saw that the lane was closing miles ago, don’t go waiting till last minute to cut in front of everyone.


6. Sunday Driving All The Way In The Left Lane, Can I Get A Of Course

The left lane always feels like the super cool lane, but if you’re not going to go the speed to pass someone, make the other lanes super cool dude.


7. Active Singer/Dancer With No Hands On The Wheel

By all means, jam away but keep your hands on the wheel. I’m sure you’re the best car dancer around but you can be the best driver around too. Belt out those lyrics all you want, just be safe please.


8. I Need To Talk And Look At My Bro In The Backseat

Eye contact is sometimes necessary for a conversation but it’s also necessary when you’re behind the wheel. Your friends will appreciate it more if you’re looking forward then looking back and almost getting into an accident. Trust me, talking will make up for the loss eye contact.


9. Need To Fix My Chipped Nail Polish

I can barely make my nails look good with full concentration at the kitchen table. How you paint your nails while they’re rested on the steering wheel is beyond me. It’s scary, that’s what it is.


10. Let Me Turn On My Turn Signal Last Minute, It's All Good

It’s not the worst thing you can do but let’s say I’m trying to turn and I wait till you go by but then you suddenly slow down and turn. Like, I've been waiting patiently for you dude. C'mon now. Just let me know what you're up to please.


11. Dramatic Breaking, Shakespeare Style

I’m super thankful your brakes work but they won’t be if you keep breaking like that. Yes, it's better to be safe than sorry but if you keep breaking so fast, it may not be pretty either.

12. Ignoring Pedestrians / Cyclists

I get it, it’s annoying when someone crosses the street and you have to stop for them but technically they have the right away and well, it’s nice to know that they’ve safely crossed the street. Crosswalk or not, look out for them. This isn’t Grand Theft Auto or Homer Simpson's Car Game. You don’t get points by nearly hitting them.


13. Music Blaster

You’re going to go deaf faster than everyone else my friend. Sure, you got good taste in music but I can hear it and see your car shaking. How does that not hurt your eardrums?


14. Blind Spot Driving

Sometimes people do this without noticing they are doing it. Not every car has those tiny blind spot mirror on the actual mirror. It’s not hide and go seek, look out man.


15. There Will Be No Space In Between Our Vehicles, You Are Welcome

I like you too but it’s okay if you want to respect my bubble. You don't have to see how close you can get to my car before you tap it. We're at a red light, chill.


16. Dude, I can easily text & drive


You may think that you can do two things at once, but driving and texting should not be one of them. In the few seconds it takes to look away from the road, anything can happen.

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.
