Bad driving is pretty high on the list. When I wrote the post it was a little like a blur - almost as if I wasn't in control :-)<BR/><BR/>But that said, I'm glad you found it funny (most people do find my rants funny). <BR/><BR/>PMDD eh? I have a very sick and sordid imagination so my mind is working overtime (LOL) - I think "Dr Ruth" will probably have a few suggestions :-)<BR/><BR/>In fact, it might just calm me down when Mr SAD and Mr Ditherer are in front with Mr Tailgater looming behind and Mr Dance Car trying to overtake, as a cyclist weaves in and out of the traffic and a bunch of young lads glare at me whilst crossing over the road. <BR/><BR/>One final thought - I would make a terrible psychiatrist (shrink). If somebody came to my surgery saying "I've got a problem with road rage" I would be there saying "YES!!! SO DO I!!" and as he ran screaming from my office I would be chasing him, saying "AND ANOTHER THING ..."<BR/><BR/>Thanks for a brilliant comment Robin (as always).<BR/><BR/>Cheers<BR/><BR/>PMPlastic Mancunianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01864213919913476168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-80515873141949065212009-03-06T18:54:00.000+00:002009-03-06T18:54:00.000+00:00Alrighty then, I think that pretty much wraps up t...Alrighty then, I think that pretty much wraps up that issue!! <BR/><BR/>I am literally rolling on the couch laughing my head off. I mean I am REALLy laughing. The whole poat and all the comments are HYSTERICAL!! I think your new name is Platic Manic! Or Plastic Maniac. I mean, we could work this several ways. LLOLOL!!!!! LOLOLOL!!!!! It's okay we will ALL help you. LOLOL!!! <BR/><BR/>I'd need you to come out from under the B&W mask though to really get a feel for the final name that WE would come up with. I think we could even come up with some syndrome initials, you know, like they do for ADD, ADHAD and all "those" type of "things". I think PMDD might work quite nicely for you. Can you guess what it means???<BR/><BR/>Ah ha! You thought I was going to TELL you what it means. No, I will just leave you with these thought to poder...while you drive. LOLOL!!! <BR/><BR/>Or you might try podering them while jump on the trampoline?? Just a thought!!! :) :) :) <BR/><BR/>This was a truly magnificent post!!! I loved it! Thank you and may be peace be with you...when you...drive?<BR/><BR/>Cheers and hugs, <BR/>Robin<BR/><BR/>PS I also loved the honesty in this post. Not many people would admit this many faults.

And yes - pulling out in front of you at the last minute is particularly annoying. <BR/><BR/>It is illegal in the UK to drive whilst using a mobil phone - but it doesn't stop people doing so. On my 20 minute journey to/from work I usually see five or six people gabbling away on the phone instead of concentrating on driving. <BR/><BR/>GRRRR!!!<BR/><BR/>You can call me Dave or PM - whichever takes your fancy. PM is my evil internet persona (the one I shall use when I take over the world (wide web).<BR/><BR/>:-)<BR/><BR/>Cheers<BR/><BR/>PMPlastic Mancunianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01864213919913476168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-30797687625847173592009-03-06T03:27:00.000+00:002009-03-06T03:27:00.000+00:00Hi PM,I'm with you on ALL of these!

How about pulling out in front of you, then going way too slowly. Or waiting until you're right at them before they pull out. Aaargh!<BR/><BR/>And how about cell phone users? Usually every offender of the rules of the road is on the phone! Who's everyone talking to anyway?? Obviously not a driving teacher.<BR/><BR/>Now I've gotta take a deep breath!<BR/><BR/>p.s. do you prefer to be called PM or Dave or can I just mix it up? :o)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4170913783015287649.post-72142782161592409962009-03-05T22:07:00.000+00:002009-03-05T22:07:00.000+00:00Hello again "Dr Ruth",What puzzles me about this i...Hello again "Dr Ruth",<BR/><BR/>What puzzles me about this is why you, a man, should call yourself "Dr Ruth".

Though I'm willing to bet there are far more giant pickup trucks and SUVs on the road than in the UK. Nothing worse than an idiot in an SUV full of kids watching their DVD player while the driver weaves all over the road. I can't believe DVD players in the front seats are legal.Cathiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07291479913130967235noreply@blogger.com
