auntbijouDear Idiot Drivers in Two Different Pickup Trucks,
Those red lights on the back of my van? Yeah, they're called BRAKE LIGHTS, and when they light up and go bright red? That means I've hit the brakes and I'm STOPPING!!
And that bright yellow light on the left that was flashing on and off? That's my turn signal, you utter morons. I know y'all have no idea what it means or what it's for, so just to clear things up, when you see it flashing on and off like that? Means I'm about to make a fucking left turn!!! Oh, and yes, I do actually stop for oncoming traffic when I see it coming, rather than turning in front of them and letting them hit me. It's a self preservation thing, you know? I'm not actively suicidal, as y'all apparently seem to be!
Oh, and drivers like me, who turn their headlights on in the mornings before, say, nine a.m.? Yeah, we're not doing that so we can SEE, we're doing that so we're visible to other drivers and pedestrians. It's like... an attention-getting device, not a lack of the ability to see in what is clearly daylight to you.
So, take all those papers one of y'all was waving at me for some inexplicable reason as I turned, fold them until they are all corners, and shove 'em up your unmentionable oubliette!! Getting on my rear bumper is NOT going to make me turn faster, or risk my life by turning in front of a city utility truck just so you can get your morning coffee at the gas station ten seconds sooner.
Fuck you very much,
Auntie
