I am not going to claim to have mastered today's lesson but at least I recognized that it was the lesson and here is why:
If you know me at all you know that I hate driving in the rain. I would rather drive in the snow than rain (just as long as I don't have to get out because, let's be real, I would rather live in rain than in snow). Second thing you should know about me is I have a slight problem with road rage.
Today combined both of these personality traits of mine and did not make a pretty picture. Apparently, when people see rain they slam on their brakes and go 30mph. Granted it was more of a torrential down pour than a light rain but still. So I drove miles upon miles going 30mph... on the highway... in the rain. Awesome.
In addition to people not knowing how to respond to rain there were other individuals that just shouldn't be on the road. Things that came out of my mouth today include: "You have a blinker. Use it!" "It's a 70mph zone. Why are you going 50mph in the left lane??" "I know your car is new enough to have cruise control so keep a consistent speed!" and the most popular, "MOVE OUT OF MY WAY!!"
So the lesson was patience. I clearly have a long way to go but you know what they say, admitting you have a problem is the first step.
