Everyone always talks about "Minnesota Nice." "Minnesotans are so nice.....always willing to help out....always smiling." Well Minnesotans ARE nice......but not when they're driving! I don't know if it's the cold weather, the fact that Christmas is quickly approaching or simply that people are just crabby but driving lately Is. Not. Fun. Take tonight for instance. I'm driving to work and my exit is approaching in about 2 miles. I turn on my turn signal in hopes that someone will let me in. If Minnesota nice applied to driving then I'm sure I would have been let in. In fact I can see it now: the lady next to me would have slowed down, gestured for me to by all means, please go ahead of her and she would have smiled and waved. I would have smiled and waved back and everyone would have been happy. But alas, Minnesota nice does not apply to driving, I was not let in and I ended up missing my exit. This wouldn't have been much of a problem except for the fact that I was already running late (now there's a surprise) .....and the next exit wasn't for another five miles. Eventually I made it to work (a record five minutes late!) and put it behind me.
Until I was driving home and got cut off. THREE DIFFERENT TIMES. By THREE DIFFERENT DRIVERS.
So I guess it's time to just face the facts. Minnesota nice simply does not apply to driving! :)
