Atlanta ranked 6 on a list of cities with the least courteous drivers. To think, if we had honked more horn or flipped more bird we might have made it on the infographic featured on AutoVantage’s website. The report doesn’t surprise me. Atlanta isn’t a font of southern hospitality.
I’m not immune to the air of hostility that is so prevalent on our roads. In fact, just yesterday I was pondering the tools I’d need to better express myself to those I share the road with. First I need to replace my car’s horn with a megaphone so I can better communicate with my fellow drivers. Second, I need a mechanical spit-wad cannon mounted to the hood of my car. Some guy would be all like, “ha! ha! I just cut you off …without using my blinker!” His erratic driving would catch me off guard, but I’d quickly regain my composure, lock onto him with my targeting computer and unleash a wad of toilet paper saturated in justice! His car would swerve and I’d watch it explode in my rear view mirror.
I’ve yet to find a hood mounted mechanical spit-wad cannon, so I suppose I’ll just have to live with this.
