Too few drivers pay attention....

Sometimes I just wonder what people are thinking.


It actually scares me at times.


This afternoon at lunch I was going to go get gas, and run to JC Penney's and pick up the shoes I ordered.


Well, I did not make it even to the gas station. I did not know the gas was that low and ran out at at the corner. About a mile from work, and from the gas station.


There was a slight incline at the corner so I managed to get further back from the corner. I called AAA and then the wait began.


While I was on the phone with AAA I was amazed at how man people still pulled up behind me.


A car sitting dead still at a green light with flashers on. My first thought would be to move to the other lane to go around it. Oh no, that was not the case of the many who pulled up behind me and sat…until…duh…they realized that the light was green and I was not moving…oh…duh…she has her flashers on.

Once I was off the phone with AAA I got out and put my hood up, and opened my tailgate thinking this would help people to realize that my car would not be moving.

Well, one would have thought it would have helped…but oh no people still pulled up behind me until they got the clue.

So, it was my lunch hour and I just grabbed my lunch and sat in the open back end of my car and had a picnic.


Surprise surprise…people still pulled up behind me thinking the car would be moving. Um…a fat lady sitting in the open back end of an SUV with the flashers on, the hood up, eating her lunch.


Now tell me….wouldn't you have moved to the other lane?

I wish I had counted how many cars had just pulled up behind me, it really struck me sad as that proves how little people pay attention.

Kind of scary too when you think about it.
