i've felt in danger in washington because those fools don't know how to MERGE onto the freeway with the flow of traffic, aka going the same speed, and instead going like 40mph.

Drivers in Washington are the absolute worst EVAR.... they don't go when the light turns green, they don't stop when the light turns red, they have no idea how to make a left turn or a right turn or change lanes or merge.... I think that about covers it.

Bouji, I am enjoying your posts. Just that perfect combo of feigned aggression and nonsense. 8/10.

I have almost completely given up on the bus and am back to driving. Both are ******* awful, but I have not decided which is worse.

My commute by bus is not too different from car. The problem is that the bus never arrives on time, and due to cutbacks on the line, if I miss one because it came 6 minutes earlier than normal (I already get there 5-10 minutes before scheduled), I end up waiting another half an hour for the next bus.
