Things I hate on the way into work

[theculturewarrior]

I would prefer driving in a major metropolitan area than here. The border is nuts. A lot of people here learned to drive in Mexico where it is less regulated. Nobody has insurance. You're lucky if they have a license plate, much less a driver's license. There is a work zone on the freeway on the way to work. The speed limit is 50mph. I pass people on the way driving that fast and there are still accidents every day.

I could give you examples of bad driving here, but there are too many. I'll just say two things. 1. Everybody thinks there hometown has the worst drivers until they come here. 2. Has somebody ever said something to you, or did something to you that was so rude, you laid in bed awake at night thinking about it? That's every day when you drive on the Border.

One time I was backing out of a one way parking lot.

Ha ha -- you think it's really that much different here? We have plenty of unlicensed, uninsured Mexicans! I know a couple of people who've gotten into accidents with them.
