Wednesday 5:36 PM. Boston, Mass
Locale: Commercial Ave, a four lane road, with the left lane being a left only turn up ahead.
Perpetrator: Blue Honda Civic

Everyone is in a rush these days. Whether it's in the store, in the car, or even when they're doing leisure activities. No one has the time to spare for anything. Especially other people. It seems like no matter where you are or how fast you're going, someone needs to get by you. Their priorities are clearly more important than yours.

This is the impression that I got out of the Blue Honda in traffic today. It was bumper to bumper. The only cars that were moving were the ones taking the left out of the left turn lane. They had a green light, while the other three lanes were stopped at red. Unfortunately for today's winner, the car in front of her was not intending to take this turn, and tried to get into the next lane. Well, this blue car was not happy about the other driver's mistake, and began honking. And honking. And honking. It seemed like this woman thought that the more she honked, the faster the car trying to get out of her way would move. There is finally enough room for the blue car to get around just as the light turns red.

Well, this did not stop our intrepid honker. She was in such a rush, that she took the left turn on the solid red light anyway, narrowly avoiding the oncoming traffic, which just got a green light. I don't think anyone was stopping this lady today. Nothing stopped her from making it to my blog entry either.
