What the heck is wrong with people? Three times today I witnessed dangerous/aggressive driving. This morning as I was driving into a school zone I let off the gas and was about to brake. Apparently the guy behind me was too "special" to pay attention to such things. He swerved around me and sped up to about 45 while talking on his cell phone. There were kids walking and riding their bikes to school. Later this afternoon, I had just turned off of WLH and was headed to Michaels through the parking lot. This crazy woman was leaving the Walgreens pharmacy and decided to ignore the fact that she was supposed to yield and started to turn left right in front of me. I slammed on my brakes and then the witch honked at me. I told the kids she must be on anti-psychotic medication. Then, I was in a parking spot and was backing out. Obviously when someone is backing out and there is a huge van parked next to them, they cannot see the traffic coming. I was inching out of the spot and some moron was going around 30 in the lot laid on the horn and swerved around me honking.
 
Is it just me or have people become more aggressive and selfish on the roads? I am so glad I don't carry around that much aggression and hate for life.

It's not you, Busy. That guy speeding through the school zone while talking on his phone makes me livid.

I was hoping he would see the kids and slow down, but nope it didn't phase him a bit. No respect for others. And the sad thing is, when he kills a kid it will be called an "accident" and nothing will happen to him.

I am starting to think I need to when I drive! My kids were like "Are you going to honk back at that mean lady?". I was like NO! Aggressive drivers are mentally unstable and there is no purpose in engaging them. But, seriously if you get into an accident with one of these lunatics you may need to defend yourself!

I can see that happening, Busy. I've seen drivers standing in the road yelling at each other after an accident - like that's going to change anything.

Somewhere near the zoo last week some guy caused a fender bender, when the person he hit pulled over to exchange information he attacked him. The son got out of the car to defend his father and put him in a headlock and he died.

I also have noticed that people are driving a lot more aggressively these days. They don't drive defensively anymore, and many are on their cell phones. I know in school zones people are not allowed to talk on their phones, but no one enforces the law. Humble ISD cops don't bother. People don't slow down when you pull out of a parking space and, if they are walking, they don't seem to care if you might hit them. Crazy! I really don't like driving anymore.

I'm sick of it too. There isn't much to do except stay vigilant and ignore it. Waving someone ahead nicely can also be misconstrued. I found this out last week letting a lady out into traffic onto 1960. After I passed her later on the left she flipped me off! I'm still trying to figure that one out.

It wasn't just you, I almost got hit by one of those "illegal u turn" drivers at 1960 and Atasca Rd last night on the way home. He was worse then most though, because he made like he was going to just make the turn, and then halfway through it, cut the wheel and zoomed in front of me. I had to slam on the brakes not to hit him (big shout out to the lady behind me that managed to stop and not hit me.. Thanks! Sorry! Not much I could do..) and he just zoomed on past me like he had the right of way.. What is wrong with these people?

It's not only bad drivers. It's bad people in a hurry. In a store as I was unloading groceries a lady swooped in behind me and started unloading her stuff before I finished. Every time her stuff slid over towards checkout counter, I had to slide it back. What is wrong with people, why do they have to be in a such a hurry?!!
