FFFC

I drive in Columbus in rush hour traffic both to and from work. Sure, Columbus isn't L.A, but it's still a good deal of traffic.

When there are "lines" getting off of an exit and I see people speed up, put their turn signal on and break to get over at the beginning of the line, I dont let them over. Literally any time I will let someone over, traffic or not, but line ditching is basic, 2nd-grade-taught "no-no."

Next!

I live in Columbus, and I know what you mean! It gets even worse when it rains or snows! 71 north and south are HELL!  And don't get me started on 270!

I had weird eating habits in high school.  I had at least one twinkie and one ding dong every.day.  I also ate a lot of miracle whip and tomato sandwiches.  That's right.  White bread, lots of miracle whip, and tomatoes.  Talk about a disgusting, high calorie diet.

Horf.

Right there with you.

I guess this can be my FFFC offshoot: I'm an aggressive driver.  There are rules, people & if you don't follow them (like cutting in line), I'll be damned if you get in front of me.  Same goes for running a stop sign, cutting me off in traffic, etc etc.  I have a horn & I know how to use it!

That being said, I never get spiteful w cars when I'm driving w DS, or much really any more.  Motherhood has softened me.

I narrate when I drive. If I see some loser who didn't have the brains to get into a lane to exit the freeway several miles back, I'm not letting you in as the lane is exiting the freeway. Too freaking bad. It's crappy that they feel the lane must stop for them because they had cranial rectitus and couldn't get it together earlier. We were all in line...you should be too.

Ah, you understand! I have to go 270 home from work, and I have to get through the MESS of people trying to get on and off of 71 & 23.

Any sort of weather condition puts me back 25 minutes. But at the same time, I have an asshat friend who drives regular speed, if not above the speed limit when there is snow, ice, heavy rain. She thinks it's cool. I'm like "Oh, so you're the a-hole that causes accidents and takes us longer to get home?" I just want a happy medium!

The bridge I take to get home is down to one lane right now, so there's tons of traffic. Yesterday I was waiting for 20 minutes with a screaming baby in the car. Some guy tried to drive all the way up to the bridge and not wait in traffic, and I almost hit him because I was trying so hard to not let him in. I don't think anyone will flame you for this confession!

My FFFC: DS has two teeth coming in at once and last night he was misserable. So I gave him 2 hylands teething tabs. It worked. I'm not worried and one of the two came through!

Same. I won't even honk if DS is in the car. I don't know how insane people are with their road rage and a story of a mother, her unborn child and her young baby being killed by someone with road rage... no thanks.

BUT! That being said... I hate when people don't use turn signals. DH and I always say "They don't make turn signals on those year/make/model cars."

Well, my issue is that unless they have an out of state license plate and we are on the major outbelt of 270... they KNEW they needed to get off, but didn't want to sit through the traffic of waiting like the rest of the cars, so they ditch the line. That's what is more annoying than anything to me. I can understand if you're lost, you don't live in this state, we're driving on a less popular interstate/outerbelt/whatever.... but come on.

Horf.

I ate Chez-its for breakfast while McDonald's breakfast burritos pretty much everyday.

I was also known to bring left over Chipotle and have that at 8:00 am.

Never got into the twinkies and ding dongs though.
