Rude woman on the road

This morning I drove to work feeling relaxed. I know I had work to rush for the day but I was still keeping it calm and together, practising my "Don't worry, be happy" mentality. Less than 10 minutes into my peaceful drive, traffic came to a slowdown as I approached a bottle-necked road. I go through this every morning and it isn't so bad. It takes about 5 minutes to get through it and I have grown to be patient and used to that.

However, this morning this car on the lane next to mine had my blood boiling when she signalled to switch into my lane. She was darn impatient and right away swerved her car in my direction, practically forcing me to give way. I was following quite closely to the car in front of me so there was no space for her to butt in. But guess what? She did anyway and couldn't be bothered if her car were to bang into mine. I honked at her but that only made her more aggressive as she inched closer. I had no choice but to give in to such idiocity (unless I was willing to have my car scratched by hers) and as a "thank you" to me, she threw her arm in the air, pointed at me and glared. What a total bi*ch!

As I tailed her car in that jam, she did that to another driver when she felt that the lane was moving too slowly for her and probably considered her original lane was a better option. So there she went again forcing into the next driver's right of way in the next lane. I could have yelled at her to ask where was her damn manners if only she were to wind down her window.

She had me worked up and after some minutes of cooling down, I wondered if it was all worth it to get uptight by some ill mannered woman. I figured it wasn't. Some day she would get herself into trouble if she doesn't learn to be courteous on the road. Having said that, most Malaysians are never courteous on the road. Maybe that applies to me too when I'm rushing and never realised what a road hogger I've been!
