I was working from home on Friday and my roommate …
I was working from home on Friday and my roommate came home around lunch time. He had been contemplating buying a car for a while, and we started talking about it in detail. We deceided that now is as good a time as ever to go buy one. So, I rented a car, and drove him to a carfest about 50 miles from where I live. He bought the first car he saw. I know, not the sanest of the decisions, but it was a pretty good one. So I drove the rental back, while he followed me in his car. All that was well and good.
Today, I was going to shop around a bit for my trip. He offered to drive me around. Everything was ok till he got on the freeway. All of a sudden he forgot the basics of driving. He was driving on two lanes…. no he wasnt jumping between them.. he was actually driving ON BOTH.. RIGHT ON THE CENTER LINE!!!! If that wasnt bad enough, he wanted to drive at 30 mph… not 60.. 30. Having seen enough in the first minute and half, and convinced that I was going to die, I asked him to pull out on the next possible exit. So he comes to screeching halt in the MIDDLE of the freeway, so that he can change lanes!!! We were on the freeway for just over 4 mins, and we had 7 near misses, and god knows how many honks and flying fingers. So he gets off the freeway, and starts driving on the sidewalk as soon as he gets off the ramp. I have no clue what happened to him, or why he was driving the way he did. He claims he got tensed, and me yelling at him wasnt helping. WTF? Anyways, at the first possible moment, I jumped off the car and refused to get in unless he handed the keys over.
Have to admit, I am so happy that my gaurdian angels werent goofing off this weekend.
