Hey, You!

I am pleased to announce the first installment of Hey, You! Some day, at some point in the future, you'll remember this momentous occasion and take pride in the fact that you were there, you were among those who read the first Hey, You! on its first release. Treasure this moment...


Hey, you! Yes, you. To the woman in the little black BMW who held up traffic this morning. You were so determined to get into the carpool lane, despite the fact that it was already bumper to bumper and there was no space for you, that you came to a near-stop in front of me, tying up my lane so you could weasel your way into the diamond lane.

Hey, you. After you'd finally bulled your way in you were so angry that the cars there hadn't yielded to your precious little Beamer that you dropped your speed to a crawl, forcing the cars behind you to suffer. In your hotheaded desire to punish those who dared keep you out of a full lane, you allowed a gap to open ahead of you. Road rage like yours is dangerous. You should seek therapy. Your actions endangered and angered others. Now you know why I cut you off and slammed on my brakes.

Okay, I didn't slam on my brakes. But I thought about it. Unlike you, I didn't act on my annoyance. You need to learn to channel your anger. Instead of driving so aggressively, maybe you should just get a job at the post office.

Hey, you. Are you listening?
