I watched a guy attempt a U-turn in stopped traffic next to the bowling alley on 236. I guess he was trying to get to the bank, behind the other 16 cars with the same idea. I witnessed an 80-year-old's 75 point turn at the gas station while waiting to pay $3.99 for gas. People were actually crowding this one gas station for "cheap" gas. Side note: it wasn't my intention to wait in line to save a few pennies on gas, I was afraid I was about to run out and I wasn't sure where another gas station was.

There are many people on the road who just have no business being there. Thats cool, not everyone has to be a good driver, I'm an awful cabaret singer/dancer and as such, do not do it. Ever. Yet if I had to be a good cabaret dancer to get to work I'd really piss off some high-kicking french girls every morning. We've outgrown our need to go into work every day, but management doesn't have a handle on that yet. I think this is principally for management to maintain control of its people with its obvious lack of legitimate skill/knowledge they have to parade around in suits and give orders and action items. Meh, I just turned this into another rant about business management.
