patient driving...

now there's an oxymoron~
R frequently asks me how i can be so patient in almost all other situations except when i'm driving..
whereas, he is the most easy-going driver i know, next to my father..

why is it that whenever it rains, drivers near and far behave as if it's the first time they've seen water fall from the sky and, from what i gather can be the only reason why this happens so often, they then try to swerve away from the rain..
which, if one thinks about it, is ridiculously impossible... right????
yet~!!!! yet...
yet, we see accident after accident after vehicular wreck spilled over on the side of the roads..

and their so-called "accident" slows down traffic even further than the rain ever did in the first place ! ! !

arrrrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!

my patience is for things that are beyond my control...
like ignorant jerks that insist that i'm chinese and i need to go back to my country...
or
like when my wireless network goes down for no logical reason and won't come back up no matter what i do..

as much as that last scenario might really freak some people out, that seems like heaven compared to the driving skills, or the lack thereof, of half the city...

why? because in each situation i can just walk away from that particular asinine individual or impossible situation...
but driving... one does not drive alone in this land of highways and biways..
*grrrrrr...*
