Now they’ve come up with a new trick and it happened again today!
There I was, turning left into the Geneva Walgreens parking lot from the main entry drive while another vehicle was turning right to exit onto Bricher. No problem, right? That driver is turning right, I’m turning left, and all is right with the world.
But it’s never that simple, is it? Since the distracted woman – and it’s always a woman – was virtually taking up the entire
lane, I had to swing wide to get around her. But as I made that extra effort she looks at me with arms spread wide as if to say, “What the f**k are you doing?” I just laughed and drove on.
This relatively new phenomenon takes place at the Commons all the time. It’s as if these women believe there’s an imaginary stop sign at every parking lot intersection. Then, having absolutely no clue of how it’s really supposed to work, they then become greatly offended when the left turner proceeds accordingly.
If you can’t make a right turn without swinging all they way into the opposite lane, then you probably shouldn’t be driving. With all due respect to the minority of women who actually can drive, sometimes I think Saudi Arabia has the right idea.
