Bumper Cars

Aside from the fact that you can't go into a store like a normal person this time of year, the thing that's most inconvenient for me about the holiday season is driving. I'm not sure what it is- too much Christmas Spirit (or spirits) or too much Christmas Stress, but people drive horribly during December. They're careless and overly aggressive and inattentive. Everybody's in a big hurry, to shop I suppose, and nobody gives a hoot (?) about anyone else out there. Coming home from work yesterday, I was cut off 3 times by the same car, who kept swinging into the left lane to motor on ahead, only to get stuck behind somebody left turning and then swerve back right in front of me.

Okay, I'm starting to sound like a crank so I'll stop.
