Getting old.

[Mick Bailey]

The thing that drives me nuts about getting older is my own intolerance of almost everything. I used to ride hundreds of miles on the most uncompromising motorcycles, with helmets that were too slack/too tight and in all kinds of weather. Now everything has to be armchair comfort in warm, dry conditions. I can't travel easily on public transport because I want to make the kid next to me swallow his phone whole, along with the crap '180 breakbeat' that I'm forced to listen to. The same with aircraft - I think there should be a law that enables me to kick the kid in the seat behind me once in the head for every time he kicks my seat. The same for cinemas. Hotels? - I need to be the only person staying there. A walk in the country? Totally spoiled by someone else having the same idea.

Are you looking at me? Are you staring at my bird's pint?

These days #1 driving peeve is other drivers, usually in front of me, just "can't get going" at a green light, or start driving like they lost their mind all of a sudden. Because they're gabbing on their cell, or texting, or checking their little plastic pal to see if they have new Farcebook Friends, because that's what's important, not driving, perish the thought!

Wouldn't be so bad if it didn't happen at advance green left turns that are already too short to allow more than 3 cars to make it through.

Oh yes, driving is just one of the things they happen to be doing when they get behind the wheel.
I hate to even start on this. The most frustrating time(s) of my life are spent in a car. There are just so many shitty drivers out there. Turn signal....what's that? Your car horn interrupted my text. Why do I need to go the speed limit? Nobody behind me has anything important to do, do they?
If I could find out 1 day before I was going to die, I'd install a heavy duty cattle guard on the front of a large pickup and start running these idiots off the road. Go ahead and arrest me, I'm going to be dead tomorrow anyway.

That wouldn't work where I live. You would just set in gridlock even with the cattle guard.... Unless you had a passenger and and could drive in the HOV lane.

Not me, I'd want the Aston Martin with the 50 caliber machine guns from the original James Bond movies.

So, I'm not worried about the legality of ramming cars with a cattle guard, but would be concerned about driving in the wrong lane?

I've dreamed of that, just get the biggest hoopty I can find and have at it.

We understand your respect for the law.
