Road Rage


One thing that I love about my life right now is that I don't drive.I know that will have to change when I get done with school in December.But till then I don't have to handle some issues that I used to encounter when I used to drive in Kenya ie weaving across lanes, people who do sudden turns without indicating, idiots who jam on their brakes suddenly, people stopping in the middle of the road, people who drive at 5 miles per hour, idiots who create an extra lane etc.
But when I have to get back in the game I know I will encounter the same crew old idiots. I was on the net and I found these wonderful things called road rage cards!So instead of holding it in, I'll flash a card.Take a look!
ps:How come my life is so mundane but I hardly get blogger's block unlike some blogger's who have such fun lives but are now on hiatus?

It's funny you posted this today. I was on a bus earlier, and there were two times when we almost got into an accident because of nitwit drivers. The first happened as we were going past some lights. Some idiot was not patient enough to wait for his green turn light, so he decided to cut right infront of the oncoming bus. Next, this lady saw a parking spot and immediately braked, causing the car behind her to stop suddenly, and the bus driver to slam on the brakes. Were it not for the quick thinking of the car immediately infront of the bus, the bus was surely going to hit that car. It was one of those surreal moments where you see the accident just about to happen in slow motion. Crazy day!

LOL.....cool. Do they come in sticker form?

As for your p.s., I think all my mojo went on the weekend post. Besides, this summer for me is so boring, that nothing exciting is happening on the daily grind. Hence me checking into 'Rehab' coz I have become addicting to this ISH.

I'm watching you though....so keep it polite....tihihihihihihihi!!!

Totally hilarious! Sadly there are places where you dare not flash these cards! In Nai the recipient might just jump outta his car and thump your ass papo hapo! Here in Jo Burg chances are you'll receive a bullet in the face! (kwani every black dude has an AK47 under the driver's seat?)

@ Nick

@ prou

@ POTASH
It has always irritated me how sarcasm is lost on most Kenyans.I will get working on the Kenyan versions asap!

Aco trust me when you will get on the road, road rage is a must. If there's anthing i hate is driving behind a senior citizen, kwanza when it's an old lady...woi! torture of the worst kind.
The other thing i hate are peole whose idea of driving involved stepping on their brakes every 5 secs...ala si you shuka the mots and walk bana.Arrghhh i getting raoad rage just thinking about it.

I have seen those senior citizens in action and it is not funny at all!Anyway let me enjoy peace of mind for the few months that I still have it!

Road rage is so real; I just read a story about one dude shooting and killing another one this past weekend--they were arguing then #1 got out of his car to approach #2's pick-up, #2 unleashed a gun, shot him and drove away. There are times I feel like flipping off crazy drivers but I don't coz there are some psycho people all around. You must be on a creative high--keep the posts coming!

@ Girl Next Door
I don't know why the same dude who is so nice to you outside turns into a psycho in his car?Like you said there are many psychos in this country and one has to be careful!
