Why, oh lord, am I the one that always has to face the brunt of these complete wastes of human flesh. I'm on way home from the new girl's house. She lives in Hollywood. it's around 10PM, I decide to take Sunset all the way back to the 405 then to the 101 and home. For me, there is a cathartic moment that comes from opening the windows and sunroof, clearing the sunset strip, and the long sweeping curves of Sunset Blvd. all the way back to the 405. This was to be one fo those nights. stereo off, motor loud, cool wind in my face.

Except it wasnt. Lo and behold, what lies in front of me, a Ford Expedition taking up BOTH lanes of Sunset and going about 30MPH. I come up beind her (and it was very clearly a woman as the dome lights were on and she was on the phone) I follow her for a mile or so, hoping she might understand that she was obstructing traffic (and destroying my catharsis for the evening. No such luck, still chatting it up on the phone, oblivious to the fact that she's driving a 6000 lb consumerist s***wagon on a road that can very easily kill you if you arent paying attention.

I flash my high beams, I then honk my horn to get her attention, still nothing. still chatting on the phone, swerving between both lanes. I figure," **** it" I've had enough of this, I see my opening.. I gun it, swing around her at which point she finally sees Im behind her and decides to step on her brakes...

Anyone deal with this on almost a daily basis?
