Holiday Drivers

I have noticed that there are 3 types of drivers during the holidays, particularly on Christmas Eve. Type 1: "Just Doin' My Thing Because I'm Already Done Shopping!" Driver. This is the person who drives on Christmas Eve as if it is just another day in the year. These are the drivers who deserve recognition and honor during the holiday season. They uphold the rules of the road, both written and unwritten, and serve as a magnificent example of patience and diligence. To you "Just Doin' My Thing Because I'm Already Done Shopping" Drivers, I tip my hat. Or, my hatless head - in absence of a hat. Type 2: "AH CRAP, It's Christmas Eve and I Haven't Even Done My Shopping Yet!" Driver. On a scale of 1 to 10 for aneurism/heart-attack-causing-driver-type-ranking, these types of drivers receive about an 8.5. I can understand their rage-like driving and their horn-honking and their ridiculous attitude, but I cannot say that I relate. I know there are people that just get busy during the season, and so I cannot say that I hate these types of drivers, but I can say that they annoy me, and that I do not like them. No you're not allowed to go first just because your car is green (or red, or mauve/puce, or rusty, or a Cadillac, or a motorcycle, or a bicycle, or a segway, or a unicycle), no I wasn't telling you to go first, or trying to keep you behind me and stuck in the road when I waved people to walk across the crosswalk in front of me (because they DO have the right of way), and NO you are probably not going to find an XBox, GameCube, PS2 or iPod at Circuit City, Best Buy or Target on Christmas Eve. To you "AH CRAP, It's Christmas Eve and I Haven't Even Done My Shopping Yet!" Drivers, I say, "Learn a lesson from this, and think of your fellow man this holiday season. Both his safety, and his sanity." Type 3: "No Please, You Go First, And Have A Merry Christmas!" Driver. By FAR, the most annoying type of driver. Let me further explain: Have you ever come to a 4-way intersection at which your lane, and only your lane, had a stop sign? I'm sure you have. Now, does it make you uncomfortable when you're waiting for someone to drive across the intersection in front of you, but instead, they slow down and come to a stop - regardless of the fact that they do not have a stop sign? And then you play the "who is going to go first" game, where you both stop and go, and inch towards eachother in a ridiculous fashion. Gas - Brake - Gas - Brake until eventually you're so close to eachother that you touch bumpers. Literally, you are both flagging the other person to go, and then they flag you onwards, and then you both advance. It's stupid, it's annoying, and it's really frustrating. I have a stop sign, you don't. To you, "No Please, You Go First, And Have A Merry Christmas!" Drivers, I say "Just GO Already!" I like Christmas, I love people, I just don't like it when people break the law - in a mean way, or in an overly nice way. Merry Christmas Everyone, sorry this is a few days late.
