roadtrip: drivers

Somewhere in the middle of Iowa, I decided to go all 'Stuff Christians Like' and compile a list of the the kind of drivers you encounter on long stretches of highway.

1. business people: they are usually sharply-dressed, incredibly aggressive, and have a superiority complex - and they have it bad! Similar, I suppose, to those who ride in first class (according to Brian Regan).

2. college girls: they are all on their phones and tend to drive like idiots. Hey, it is what it is.

3. college guys: generally laid-back and/or distracted and have fast food trash in the rear window.

4. truck drivers: I believe I have sufficiently expressed my feelings concerning this particular breed.

5. moms: most often frazzled and hurrying somewhere, and are personally offended by your poor driving. personal speculation: they are over-worked, under-appreciated, and your driving (while her children are complaining in the back seat) is the last straw.

6. the elderly: no matter how poorly they drive, you simply cannot be upset with them.

7. the jerks who speed up and tail you while you're trying to pass a semi: these come in all shapes and sizes and they're all punks.

8. and then there's me: windows open, country music blasting, soaking up inspiration from the cornfields and open air, and madly scribbling thoughts before they float away.

Did I miss any?
