So, I woke up at 5:45am and began my trek from NH to Southeastern MA (ie: from my boyfriend’s house to my house), because my boyfriend wakes up at the ridiculously unappetizing hour of 5am. And as I am driving down the highway, in the dark, and rain, I realized that EVERY SINGLE CAR was flying by me. When the heck did 90MPH become the new 70MPH? I was going about 73mph and people were ZOOMING past me.
And not only were all these people in the biggest rush of their lives at about 6am, but they were also ANGRY about it. They were honking their horns, flashing their lights… I think some old dude flipped me off.
Maybe it’s because it was Monday morning, and they were up before the sun, so they really WERE angry – but … why the rush folks? Just slow down, relaaaax. Wherever you are going will still be there in the extra 10 minutes you are saving yourself by driving like a maniac.
