Ever have one of those days at work where the whole day came so fast then just as you're packing and getting ready to leave you get work handed to you? Ugh! I'm saving the swear words. No, I'm not. I'm cussing my life away right this minute. In my head of course. Ugh. If I had a gun I'd shoot myself in the head. That's how irritated I am. (Random rant!)
Moving on, do you know what I hate more than traffic when I'm trying to get to work? People who think they're smarter than everyone else and just drive on the wrong side of the road (usually towards on coming traffic) flashing their traffic indicators and sometimes even more annoyingly talking on their mobile phones or even worse looking like they are not in a hurry! I just want to pull my hair out and chase these people. Not to say anything of course, but to get out of the queue too *smirk*! Police and army officers are the worst offenders, followed by nobodies who think they are somebodies because sometimes, just sometimes, these nobodies are driving posh cars. To be honest, you have no business driving on the side where everyone can see you if 1. your car isn't posh and 2. if you won't drive fast and 3. it's just against the law. Kinda like an ugly, slow moving car overtaking. Not a pretty sight. Don't do it.
I'm not sure if the police officers and nobodies have more important things to do or more important places to go than everyone else. If they do, I suggest they wake up early and leave home early like everyone else since no one is above the law in this country (apparently). Even school children wake up at 4am to get to school on time. You'd think grown ups and people supposedly meant to uphold the law will know better. With the accident rates in this country these "grown ups" who are in more of a hurry than anyone else should if not for the sake of their own safety think of other road users like me! They drive by the sides so fast or so slowly and expect everyone at the intersection to just stop while they cut across. Mind you, most of them are not wearing seat belts while they commit these atrocities. *rolling my eyes*
One of the police cars I have been noticing is a Hyundai i10. It's a SWAT car which whizzes by like the speed of light. Yes, a Hyundai i10 as a SWAT car with two burly police officers fighting to see who can occupy more space in the car. So the Ghanaian police force's SWAT team will protect us from armed robbers and such using this Hyundai i10? I'm not saying it's a bad car but come on, you'll think a SWAT car will use a more powerful car. It's a very funny sight and whenever I see that little car absolutely nothing can spoil my mood hahaha! If you want to drive recklessly please police people not with a Hyundai i10. We do not need to be reminded of the horrible road accident statistics in this country because frankly we all know that SWAT car will not survive. Also, some of us are too young to die because of someone's reckless, careless behavior *rolling my eyes*
Leave home early, period! Or do what I do: Keep cool on the outside and seethe on the inside.
