Dear Minnesota Department of Transportation,

I hate your guts.

 

Yours Truly -

Daydreamer

 

This morning it took me nearly an hour to get to work.  Most days I can make the 8 mile trip in 20 minutes however I waited at one light through like, 18 changes.  You may be thinking, “Oh there must have been an accident!” or “There must be road construction.”

 

Well, you would be only half right.  There was no accident but there was ‘road construction’.  Basically, ONE guy was sitting off to the side of the road and looking into his MNDOT truck.  It’s possible he was looking for his brain because obviously, he wasn’t using it.

 

He had put out construction signs telling drivers to merge left and there was nothing to merge left for.  So there were 100’s of cars and trucks merging and once you got up to where the signs said you had to be merged - there were two open lanes.

 

Yup.  That’s all because the dude was a dumbass and didn’t turn the signs around or whatever he needed to do so that people wouldn’t do it during RUSH HOUR while they weren’t working on anything. 

 

Once I got over my rampage of that tragedy I ran into another ‘road construction’ were they were digging up a median thus closing off the left hand turn lane.  Three cars a head of me was a dude that had to turn left and when he had a clear shot with NO ONE coming the other way – he didn’t turn.  He sat there.  He caused the entire lane of traffic to sit through 3 light changes before people started honking their horns and getting irate. I think the dude behind him nearly drove him over. 

 

By the time I got around him I was fuming.  Normally, my mornings are decent.  I don’t have too much trouble but today was a day I would have rather poked my eyes out than drive to work. 

 

I hate traffic.  I hate, hate, hate, and HATE it.
