- 11:45 – On the off ramp from the freeway heading back home, I’m the third car in line in the right turn lane. The light is red. The lead car is not making a turn despite no traffic and is not on the sensor. So not only are we not moving, the light is not changing.
I honk. Nothing happens. I roll down my window, stick my head out, and yell, “You fucking cunt. Can’t you make a fucking turn?” Nothing happens.
A pickup truck mercifully goes into the left turn lane and does fall on the sensor. 30 seconds later the light turns green. I roll my passenger-side window down and hurl more expletives at the braindead dingbat driver.
