....just makes everyone think you are a wuss!
I hate being the first person at a red light. Even if it was three other cars that went through the light ahead of me and traffic from the other direction had already entered the intersection, you know that everyone that passes by you thinks you wussed out and did not go through the light.Government is a disease......masquerading as its own cureEcclesiastes 10:2 NIV

I hate being the first one there because they all try to run you over NO MATTER HOW FAST YOU GO. So I go so slow that they all get pi$$ed and pass me. I don't care. I drive like an old man. I just need to retrofit my car with weapons. I actually have this idea for a bucket of nails mounted up underneath, attached to a string, that I could pull...well you get the idea.

We've been doing so much,for so long,with so little, that now we can do almost anything, with nothing at all.

I was out driving a company vehicle once and someone called to complain about the maniac on the road. I really don't know what I was doing that got the call but maybe I cut someone off and didn't realize.Originally posted by mr hvac41

I was back at the office already when the call came in and they transfered the angry lady right to me. I never told her I was the driver, just assured her I would fire the guy immediately.
She kept backpeddling, didn't want anyone to loose thier job but I stood firm, "that guy is getting fired and thank you for your call. Have a nice day."Ryan

I love being the first one at a light. I dont have to wait for all of those slow bastards in front of me , that are talking on the phone, go when the light turns yellow
When I am not the first one at a light, I wait untill the right turn lane is open and then i will move to the front and when the light does change color I get the hole shot and go around everyone in line
except those new Diesel trucks, they can be hell out of the hole
