Cars are evil!!

Driving has been on my mind recently ... it stresses me out so much sometimes. I wish there was better public transport around here, so I wouldn't have to drive at all. Cars are so convenient, I couldn't live without mine now. However, they are evil in so many ways, and two of the worst possible ways as they are: a) bad for the planet, and b) bad for the people who live on this planet (e.g. road traffic accidents).

Another reason that cars are evil is that they bring out the worst in people. I see so much abuse on the roads. For instance, a couple of days ago when it was very hot and car windows were down, I saw a man yell something as he passed a woman on a roundabout who wasn't positioned correctly. Yesterday morning, I was driving in obeying the speed limit exactly and saw a guy behind me pulling rude hand gestures at me because I was going too slowly for his taste. I have to hope these people may not be so bad if you met them, and somehow being in a car makes them psychologically act in a different way, as I don't think so much rudeness is encountered as on the roads. I always try to let people out and obey speed limits but feel like I'm a minority sometimes, and some drivers should improve their road manners.

Also... Big Brother 2008 has started. I have to stop myself from watching this rubbish, I haven't watched it yet (one day in!) and am going to try to not get sucked into it this year. VH doesn't like it, and it is probably a waste of time, even if it is something relaxing to do after work.

Finally, what is up with the weather these days? One day it is hot, the next day there are torrential downpours. Today was quite nice at times. It's nearly the longest day of the year, I love it! This is the reason why I love summer so much, the sun and long days. It makes everyone happier, even if my hayfever did start yesterday, my eyes are all red and I keep sneezing....
