Driving
Ok, first let dismiss the myth most men have about women drivers. Trust me when I say this most people are bad drivers. I have notice this every since I started driving. Everyone thinks they are a good driver, and the truth is once in a while we all makes stupid mistakes. I love when people say, "I hate people that drive while talking on the cell phone" and not five minutes later there phone rings and they start talking on the phone. Then you have people who personally believe the rules of the road do not pertain to them. Why do people have trouble understanding a four way stop sign? It’s not that hard people, who ever gets there first goes first and if you arrive at the same time the person to you left goes first. Some people take the stop sign, as a yield sign and other s don’t ever think STOP means anything.
Have you ever sat at a light when it turned green and had to wait for the cars still passing in front of you? Does a red light mean anything to these people? Do these people belong to some sort of secret society where they do not have to abide by the rules of the road? I want to join it! Why are they in such a hurry? Just leave earlier! Is getting to work or wherever they are going worth risking you life over by running a red light?
I toke a ride with a friend the other day, and while sitting in traffic he proceeds to tell me, " you know why there is traffic?" "Why is that?" " Because all these people are rubbernecking, and the accident is probable a finder bender." I realized, which is probably really bad that every time I pass an accident I evaluate whether the traffic was worth it. If I see a ten-car pill up I feel that the wait was worth it, but if I see a flat tire I am little disappointed. Of course I hope everyone is ok. Back to the story, my friend upon driving past the accident proceeds to slow down to evaluate the damage. The wait was defiantly not worth it. It was a finder bender between a rich as businessman worrying about his new BMW and poor college students who look like she had been eating ramen noodles every night just to survive. Seriously, its just a dent and I think with your salary you can afford to get it fixed instead of driving this poor college students insurance up. Finally getting through and driving freely now I turned to my friend and said, " definitely wasn’t worth the wait, but why did you slow down when passing?" He responded, " Wanted to see what all fuss was about!"

I remember when I went to LMU how sad I was to be driving around in my Saturn and other college kids were driving Mercedes and BMW's. That was until I saw a kid driving a pick up truck with a pipe rack up top that held his surfboard. Didn't care what others thought, I felt the same way afterwards.
Prisms, Tercels, and Neons Oh My! All beauties in comparison to the Enchanting English Automobile I used to drive, THE STERLING!! The irony of this was that it held this name as if it were strong, shiny, and reliable lasting forever, when it was more of the "Nickel" variety that tarnishes everything green, scratches easily, it is a cheap substitute and easily decieving as Sterling Silver by many. I almost got hit by another car while driving, and was VERY tempted to let them hit me, no matter what physical injury I might have incurred, need I say more? I could start a whole website about the Morehiser used vechicles and the stories that go with them. Prism (3 at least, there may have been more - all of whom were wrecked) Camary's 1,2(all standards, some w/o the essentials A/C), Civics and Acuras, Trucks (2), Vans, SUV's. . oh countless numbers we have driven - We are cars sluts if ever there was a term, bouncing from vechicle to vechile like it was nothing. .
