California Drivers..

Need a hug. This isn't to say that DC drivers aren't crazy or mean, but its a different kind of crazy and mean. DC drivers will try and cut you off, will refuse to let you over in a merge lane or when you try to switch lanes, etc. The main difference between the two are that DC drivers usually wont make eye contact with you to let you know they're being jerks. They rather just go on with their day and ignore what you're trying to do. California drivers want to be as mean to you as possible. There have been at least 3 times where I have done literally nothing wrong and been beeped at like crazy. I have had either Zach or Kyle in the car with me and they also cant figure out what the heck I'm getting beeped at for. For example, yesterday I think I got beeped at (pretty sure) because the person didn't like that I was only going 7 over in a construction zone. The 2 lane road was turned into a one lane road so there were people directing us through and construction people all around. It was literally 30 yards long in a 25 mph area, yet this guy was mad that I didn't fly through, I'm assuming, because he beeped at me twice. I don't understand. Had quite a few people act like that. Usually they just lay on their horn forever, in case you didn't hear it the first five seconds. I'd be concerned I'm doing something wrong, but every single time its for something different, and every single time no one in the car knows why they're beeping. Annoying.

Also, today is one of the first times I wished I was in DC instead of California. Joey texted me this morning saying he wished we could go in and mock the Glenn Beck idiots, and I totally would have loved to be there. You can only see crazy like that every so often, and this would have been a great opportunity. Its alright though because it will definitely save me some stress and concern for the world by not being there, plus I think we're about to head to Manhattan Beach.
