Rubber chickens have rubber necks...

...but you know what else has rubber necks? Or at least rubberneckers?  Yep, that would be JTB on a morning when there is even the slightest of fender benders.  My morning commute was doubled today because of the fact that everyone felt compelled to slow to a near stop (and sometimes an actual stop) just because a few cars had failed to use proper highway safety and were in an accident.  Said accident did not appear to be major and there were no cars blocking any of the lanes of traffic.  This didn't stop everyone from crawling past and gawking at absolutely nothing of interest.

Pet peeves about driving in general:

1.  People that slow to gawk at accidents that are nothing more than a fender bender (obviously)- you're killing my commute!

2.  People that have not learned how to use a weaving lane - keep moving, people, and we'll all get where we need to go.

3.  People that text while they're driving - you're endangering the life of yourself, your passengers, and everyone else on the road...and let's face it...you're really not THAT important that it can't wait!

Okay, that's it for now. Here's to hoping tomorrow's commute is a normal one!
