It's getting the other guys out of the way that appeals to me. For instance - this morning school started two hours late, so I took Ben to school, as well as Nick. I hate taking Ben to school, because they only let parents use one of the driveways, the other one is reserved for busses, and it is always a nightmare getting into the parking lot and back out. I could draw you a diagram to explain how stupid it is, the school is at the intersection of two major roads, there is a light, a lot of commuter traffic, and people stop traffic for blocks if they don't move in and out briskly. One lady, I noted her red Acura, held up traffic getting in, I think she got distracted and didn't notice that all the cars ahead of her had moved, but what really ticked me off was that she blocked traffic in five directions getting out, everyone was waiting for her to go, and she did not go. I started leaning on my horn, which is not only a major breach of Fairfax County ettiquette, it is a felony breach of the mother's parking lot code, but she finally went after turning around and giving me a look. I won't say anything more about her except that part of her outfit was a dot.<eom>
