That’s it! I’m gettin me a frickin tank!
filed in Just a rant on Dec.19, 2008
Okay, I’m selling ALL of our vehicles and I’m going out to buy a frickin tank. Yes, a TANK.
A frickin big-ass tank. A US Army M1A1.
This would solve so many of my frustrations. Like today for example,
I took Middle Child to her 1st day at work. (While her actual store is waiting to open, she’s training at other area locations.) This one was like 5 miles away. Took us TWENTY – FIVE FRICKIN MINUTES to get there! Driving almost the whole way on a road that only has one lanein each direction, we had to be stuck behind some moronic woman who insisted on putting her makeup on at each red light while yacking on the fuckin phone with the other hand.
Excuse. My. French.
Apparently she thought she was Kreskin because she knew a full 20 seconds before the light was going to change to red…I know this because she frickin STOPPED while the light was still green. My horn got a work out. Big time.
On the way home I’m coming out of the parking lot and another woman (wuz up ladies?) sat and blocked everyone behind her (me included) from getting out because she was afraid to take anyopening that presented itself. THREE traffic lights. Three. Before she pulled out. And that was only because I laid on the horn until she moved. O.M.G. Dumbass.
If I had a tank, I would have blasted the shit out of those people BANG! POW! Dust flying. Oh the humanity! Those asswipes that pull out into moving traffic and hit their brakes or go like 10 mph?? ? KA-ZAM! Plastered all over the side of the road. MuuuWaaahhhhhhhhhhh! This tank has like 6 periscopes in the commanders area. Oh yeah! That’s my kind of vehicle. I could get a 360 degree view of all the frickin assholes around me. No more being late. No more of that jerk in front of me stopping the flow of traffic in rush hour because he’s on a laptop, or the phone. Moron.
You know? This would come in handy for the neighbor who ties their dog to the tree and leaves it there all day. I think they need a piece of my new tank. The dude who walks his dog and let’s it shit all over my lawn ~ and doesn’t bring a bag??? Yeah, I got a little somethin-somethin for you pal.
Yep, I’m gettin me a frickin tank. That’s it. I’m done. I feel better. (Til tomorrow when I have to go back out.)

Feeling angry much? But seriously, I can understand. And the makeup and phone thing drives me crazy too.

Wow! Sheila, breathe… LOL! I miss coming here. I’m back though… we’re still unpacking and such, but the house is beginning to look like a home. Still, I say moving sucks! Anyway, I’m here to be the voice of reason with the idea of you getting a tank. Gas is low now, but it’s sure to go back up!

say it with me….R O A D R A G E.
kidding of course. the morons appear to be outnumbering us on the roads these days. ask sara. i have little to no tolerance for people who are not paying attention to the task at hand…..DRIVING.
hello a-hole…the pedal on the right…push it….it means GO!
i feel your pain and while i don’t know if a tank is the route i would go…playing smash up derby with a few of these timid, uh-duh drivers would feel OH SO GOOD.
i’ve been warned to watch my mouth in the car. mady is picking more a more things up…so it won’t be long before she’s telling someone to …’Get the f*ck out my way’.
happy friday sheila!

And what you should have installed on your tank is an infrared “asshole detector.” I’ve got one on mine, great little device. Asshole-y drivers give off a significantly bright purple aura, which the detector zooms right in on. And zap — not only wastes them but evaporates their car.
Fortunately-un … there probably won’t be much traffic let-up out there until Dec. 28th. So be careful.
And scream when you get home.

Hey, if you get that tank can I borrow it for a little while. I have a few people and items I’d LOOOVE to blast to bits. Starting with the hunk of junk car in my driveway that has NO engine but my husband INSISTS is going to be “the fastest race car ever when I’m done”
Yeah, it’ll be the fastest race car ever once I blast it into next tuesday.

The holidays bring out the best drivers. I had someone all over my bumper yesterday even though I was going 50 in a 40 just to get him off my tail. Then he passes me on my left side when the lines are solid yellow and I’m trying to turn left. This is why I prefer to stay home.

I think I could get on board with driving a tank down the road. People drive me crazy! Cell phones are the bane of my existence. If you can’t drive and talk on the phone, then guess which one you should stop doing at 60 miles per hour? That’s right, THE PHONE!
