We went to Mt. P this weekend to drop of my neice and nephew, as they had been staying with us since Tuesday and Sarah was beginning to listen to those voices in her head. We got to have lunch with Josh and see family and yadda yadda yadda.
On the way home we stopped for gas. After fueling up, we got on the ramp to get back on the expressway. We ended up behind a car that was travelling no faster than 40 MPH. This is not the recommended speed to be going when merging with 80+ MPH traffic. However, seeing that she wasn't going to be a smooth addition to the traffic pattern, she decided to HIT HER BRAKES AND SLOW DOWN! I'm all about being cautious, but that's just plain suicide. We got on the expressway at about 30 MPH. I floored it and passed her while giving an astonished, frightened, and angry look to the meek woman behind the wheel. Holy crap!
This reminded me of a less dangerous yet more humorous tale. While at the beach last weekend, we saw a man rowing his family around the lake. He was having a hell of a time, though. He was a little large, and possibly quite out of shape, but I think that the main reason he found the rowing to be so difficult was because he was moving the boat aft first. Oddly enough, he was also facing the aft. So essentially this guy was pushing a rowboat backward around the lake. I bet his back was sore the next day.
Well, do you have any stories about people using vehicles in unusual and dangerous ways? "Hey, you can't approach the runway perpendicular to the ground, captian!" Let's hear your stories. Werd.
