By most accounts I'm your average young male west side raised Chicagoan. I love all things Chicago, I dress kinda fly (cept for at work, randomly), and I love mild sauce lol! But one thing that absolutely drives me mad about Chicago is the driving!
Let me preface this rant by stating that I didn't get my drivers license until about my sophomore year in college (Rutgers). Let me tell you something. Driving in the NY/NJ area is NOTHING compared to driving in the Midwest. Don't get me wrong now, I love the laid back and mellow way of life here, but learning to drive on the East Coast turned me into a monster!
These are the things that irk me the most:
- People in fast, expensive cars that drive slow
- People that drive SUVs and slow down to a complete stop before driving over 2" speed bumps.
- People that don't pull out into the intersection while waiting to make the left turn.
- Post-winter pot holes
- People that go 60mph in the far lane on the E-way
- People eating/drinking/talking/applying make-up while driving.
I love you Chicago, but please learn how to drive!
Do you.
