Why the world doesn't work - drivers and red lights

In the last week I have been cut off by people behind me!  Yes that is right!  So, I was sitting at a red light in traffic so congested that no one could move.  I was turning right.  The light was red and the guy behind me was honking at me.  Over and over and over and over.  Honk.  Honk. Hoonnnnkkkk!.

I throw my hands up in the air and ask him (as if he can hear me) what do you want me to do?  Next thing I know he has pulled up beside me in his big black truck with handicap placquard, and is yelling at me and then cuts me off by turning right in front of me into oncoming traffic about causing a wreck for all of us!  I start honking back and him and give it an extra long hooooonkkk!  It didn't help.  It did not make me feel better and the worst part is, I was the one now looking like the aggressor.

So, I move on.  I text my husband that I need a conceal carry license.  Then I text back that isn't a good idea after all.  My husband, bless his heart, is confused by me but NEVER surprised.

So, today I'm driving.  I am on my way to get my kids from school.  Red light.  Sitting in the right lane waiting for it to turn green to go straight.  Before I know it a truck pulls along side me from behind me, mad at me that I'm in his way of turning right (there is no right hand turn lane).  He cuts me off and turns right in front of me.  Again!  So, it brings back fond memories of days prior, and I give it a big honnnnnkkkkkk at him.  Well, then the next car behind me does the EXACT same thing.  Cuts me off turning right in front of me!  So, then I honk honk honk honk honk honk honk hoooonnkkk honk honk! ARRGG.  By this time, I realize the light must be broken and so I wait and I just have to go through the red light because I cannot go straight! 

I am now questioning if I am a good driver at red lights when turning right or going straight!  I am questioning my sanity wondering if I am missing a green light.  I don't seem to be missing the jerks going around me.  So, how can I be such a poor red light driver huh?

The best part was when I took out my frustration on the front desk at my daughter's school because she decided to go to an after school program I told her she wasn't allowed to go to.

Currently, I am not only a poor red light driver but now I look like a terrible mother with no patience at all.  Even though, this after school activity has been a bone of contention for a week straight! 

So, my food for thought for the day here is.......
