About the right of way...

So we were coming out of a parking lot and hoping to turn left though we were not at a light or a stop sign. As we waited for the traffic to pass, a lady came up on the road from the right wanting to turn into the parking lot. When there were no more cars on the road coming from the left, she didn't turn in. We both looked over to see why and she was jesturing at us to go. We were a little bewildered...being that most drivers know that whoever is on the road has the right of way and that right of way would have been her in this situation.

So then a few more cars were coming from the left and neither of us had gone, us because we in no way have the right of way coming out of a parking lot and her because apparently she had never passed a driving test. So the next time that there was a space coming from the left we looked at her, she didn't go and then she started honking at us angrily and gesturing for us to go. At this point there were 5 cars behind her on the road and a few cars behind us in the parking lot so we finally just went. Although if it were up to me (I wasn't driving) I would have waited, just out of spite mainly because stupidity should not be rewarded. I was angry about this whole situation.

The right of way never belongs to the person coming from a parking lot. It always belongs to the person already on the road. So why are people so stupid? How has this woman not yet killed someone in a car? And lastly...what the hell? It was bewlidering for me and left me angry for about half an hour at the sheer stupidity of this woman. And no, it was not a confused older lady, that might have been at least understandable, it was a thirty-something soccer mom in an SUV.

I really wanted to turn around and pull into the parking lot and confront this woman, to let her know how ridiculously she had acted. Actually I wanted to punch her in the face...maybe I need to deal with some anger but seriously, learn how to drive people....

learn how to drive.
