Massholes don’t understand “right of way”
Since the ripe old age of 16.5 I have been a registered driver in Massachusetts, affectionately referred to as a Masshole. It’s in my blood and there is no denying it. We are skilled in entering rotaries, flipping the bird and going through Dunkin drive through. In the past I have even used my ingrained knowledge to teach a Virginia driver how to lose her polite habits and stick her nose in to a rotary and to this day she is still considered an honorary Masshole. The thing that has my panties in a bunch today is how Massholes are now applying the rotary approach to on ramps.
A rotary, or roundabout if you aren’t from here, is a complicated dance of cars entering and exiting while deftly avoiding each other while ignoring the speed limit and any pedestrians. It is a honed skill and should only be used for good. To survive you need a lil pep in your gas pedal foot to get in and out with your life, simple. But now people are using the brazen tactic of “me first you last who cares” on the highway.
Perhaps this has always been the Masshole way and I have just been oblivious…which is quite a good possibility. Nonetheless it is starting to annoy me, but only when I need to get over. There is one particular spot that it is COMPLETELY evident. There is an on ramp on to 95 less than a 1/4 of a mile before an off ramp to get on 93. So you have cars (usually me) going from 60ish to 40ish having the RIGHT OF WAY trying to get off when all these cocky sons o guns are going from 30 to 80 blocking the off ramp. Did I mention that the “sons” don’t even use their blinkers when getting on to 95? Of course not….because that would be polite and safe. This whole thing is very hard to explain through the computer. It would be much easier if you could see me talking with my hands and drawing a sketchy map. Damn lacking technology. So basically, I am just writing this to vent, not to entertain. All I’m saying is when you see a car barreling down at you trying to leave the road. You think the common sensical thing would be to let them off so that there is one less car between you and your destination. But noooooo, because then those idiots wouldn’t live up to the Masshole way of life. OK I’m done, thanks for listening!!!!!
