13 on Thursday : Road Blues
Thursday, September 25, 2008
For 3 years I have avoided driving because it causes stress and high blood pressure and at times even road rage; here are 13 things that I hate when driving (in the Philippines).
- Motorcycles weaving in and out of traffic.
- Jeepney drivers thinking they own the whole road. Thus cutting others off.
- Jeepney drivers smoke belching.
- Jeepney drivers' blasting radio.
- Taxi's honking their horns ALL the time.
- Drivers not giving way.
- Pedestrians crossing the road when there's a footbridge right above.
- Pedestrians crossing even if the light says stop.
- Not enough parking space.
- Roads too narrow and full of pot holes (where are our taxes going!?)
- Getting stuck in traffic.
- Flat tire in the middle of nowhere, on a date at midnight.
- Stopping in broad daylight(!) because the car overheated thinking someone on a bicycle is coming by to lend a hand only to be robbed.

Great list. I agree..Happy TT:)
Why would anyone cross a busy street when they don't have to? *shaking head at human foibles.*

Interesting list. I cannot dispute that these things are stressful for sure, but I doubt they'd in and of itself give you high blood pressure.
My TT is up at 13 Myths about Barack Obama
Crazy! I don't like driving in normal conditions, lol.
