Letter to Saskatoon Drivers

Dear Saskatoon Drivers,

what the hell is your problem? Did you not get your coffee this morning, or are you always this pushy and rude? You run around acting like the entire city is your playground, you don't give anyone around you the common decency of the little things like 'signaling' when you're about to turn or change lanes. That's as important as saying please and thank you in my books!

Look, i know you're busy. We all are. We all have places to go and jobs to get to. You are not the only one. You can't expect the entire world to grind to a halt while you decide whether or not you're going to pick a lane today, or just drive down the center of two!

We're going to have to learn to get along, Sasaktoon Drivers, because i'm starting to lose my cool. i have never experienced road rage before, but i tell ya - i can feel the vein in my forehead starting to throb every time you speed up when i'm signalling to get in your lane. Don't you know how frustrating that is? But you don't stop there, NO! You pour lemon juice in my commuting-papercut by slowing down so you're right next to me... now you leave me no choice but to slow down enough to get behind you before i get in your lane. I swear to God, you're driving me absolutely bonkers.

Oh yeah, and this morning when i was stuck behind a bus and was signalling to get out of that lane and you sped up...FIVE TIMES... that was just mean. Just plain mean. You...are...a jerk.

But don't worry, Saskatoon Drivers, i'm better than you. i'm going to pay it forward - for now, and i will GLADLY wave you in when you signal and i will happily wave a big THANK YOU in my rear view mirror when i change lanes regardless of whether you let me in, or i pushed my way in. Hopefully my merry driving will show you, somehow, the way decent folk drive.

But if you think for ONE SECOND... that i'm going to be a pushover and let you drive all over me you are sadly mistaken. I have no problem ignoring the fact that you're trying to push your little nose into my lane if you're not signalling. Go ahead, run into me. But when the dust is falling from our collision, and we're explaining it all to the cops, i will gladly tell them, sweetly and innocently...

"how could i have known, officer? They didn't signal!"

you think i'm bluffing?....try me.


Love
Laura
