Flying Fruit

As I'm sure all of you know, I have a bit of a temper and am fairly impatient. Experience has shown that both of these combined can lead to a serious case of road rage.

Obviously I hate driving to work - I bitch about it almost every chance I get. Well, today I decided to do a little more than bitching.

I threw fruit and passing cars. A banana to be exact.

You see, there is a particular section of the Kennedy where there is an on ramp on the left hand side. Normally, this wouldn't be an issue, but when traffic isn't moving, some asshole will get the bright idea to pass in it in an effort to save a few minutes. And, once one guy does it, 20 more follow right behind. And, the thing is, everybody knows that it's an on ramp and not a new lane - we all drive that road everyday.

So, I just wanted people to recognize that everyone knows that they know it's an on ramp. I'd already eaten most of the banana, so I only hit 2 cars with it (although the peel did land in a guys' truck bed). In reality, it would've been quicker if I had just switched lanes, but it was the principle of it.

The real upside of all of this is that my boss sat down and signed my telecommuting form promptly after I told her the story. I think she was worried I might end up getting shot or something...
