I am an angry driver

I have decided that I am an angry driver. Or maybe most of the other drivers on the road are just idiots. I don't drive overly fast nor am I often in a hurry, but to me a stoplight is an annoyance. It's an interruption to my getting from point A to point B. I sit at the light, watching it intently, wishing it would hurry up and change. Some people, however, regard stoplights as a way to take a break from the hassles of driving. You've seen them in front of you at the light looking for something they must have lost inside their car, or maybe doing a little sightseeing, birdwatching, napping, whatever. At any rate they never seem to notice when the light turns green. I wish I could just drive over them and be on my way. I bet these are the same people who don't use their turn signals. Don't even get me started on that.
