Growing up, I often heard that Fredericton was known for having bad drivers. I have no idea if there is any statistical truth to that or not. Either way, I don't think Fredericton necessarily has BAD drivers. I think Fredericton has INCONSIDERATE drivers. A whole bunch of inconsiderate bastards. I mean the streets are lousy with the inconsiderate ones. Even the school drop off zone is not immune from the cling-ons.
Every morning that I drop my daughter off at school, I see the same van parked in the same spot regardless of the traffic flow. She won't pull up to allow more cars in, nope, she needs to park smack in the middle. Screw the rest of us suckers, she was there first and this lady knows what she wants. Cars are lined up down the street trying to get kids to school and every morning she takes FOREVER getting her kid out of the car. We receive memos and voicemails on a regular basis reminding us that we are to be quick in the drop of zone. It's a drop off zone not a parking spot. Hello, school? Stop sending me those memos. Save yourself some time and trees. Send one memo to the van lady with her name in big letter, telling her to MOVE!
This morning I really wanted to get out of my car, walk over and kick her in the teeth. But the teacher was right there and I didn't want detention. I have to much to do at lunch today.

are you trying to rile me up today?
I wish she'd take off those stupid, dumb looking white framed sunglasses, they look ridiculous as I stare her down.
Her kid is like in grade 2, must you get out and escort him to the playground, really?
Wow! He's totally gonna be a mamma's boy.
I HATE the stick figure family on the van window. Makes me want to throw a rock.
ha! YES! I turn my face up everytime I see them......she is such a PITA
I think I know the van you're talking about.... Anyway, drivers in Fredericton are inconsiderate and they suck. I was thinking that this morning driving in. I know I live outside the city but it is bumper-to-bumper driving into the city in the morning. But we still manage to do the speed limit, still manage to keep the flow going. Hit the city limits on the northside and on come the brakes. People cutting in front of one another, driving under the speed limit, zooming through the school zones. It's a nightmare. At least when I move back into the city I will have drove without my training wheels so I should be fine. As for the rest, I'll jsut keep muttering under my breath.
ummm....the stick figures are COOl....
but yes i hated waiting for those dumb ones :) DROP off....not get out walk over drop off
Post like this make me think if the Post or the Comments are more entertaining.
My vote for this one is the Comments.
Her kid is going to make someone a fabulous ex-husband some day! ;)
So that last comment is a regular reader, huh?
Of course I'm being presumptous but in cases like this I aim to please and amuse. Always wanting to write my comments to the potential mentality of the possible, prospective audience.
