OK here's the story. I am now the main delivery driver for my company. Today, I had to make some stops in Moose Jaw. During my run, I encountered some of the dumbest people I've ever seen behind the wheel of a car. I saw people signaling right and turning left, another person was going 20 in a 50 zone and another went 100 in a 40 zone. Now, I consider myself to be a very law-abiding driver: I always signal, I don't speed (at least not more than 5-10KM/H over the limit), I wear my seat belt, etc.
Normally, I wouldn't be so mad but today, I had 6 places to go in Moose Jaw and then another place in Regina. It should have been a fairly short day (5 A.M. to about 1P.M. I would guess) but for the last store (the one stop in Regina) I have to be there before 12 or else I have to wait until 2 for them to receive the items. Today, everything was going fine until I got on the highway. Instead of it taking 45 minutes or thereabouts to get back to Regina from Moose Jaw, It took me 1 hour and 15 minutes. And as a result, I didn't make it back to Regina in time to Regina Cabs (in case you haven't already guessed, that is the last stop in Regina).
Now the reason why it took me so long. I got stuck behind 2 really dumb drivers on the highway. In one lane I had a senior man going 65 when the speed limit is 110, and in the other lane, there was a semi going only slightly faster, but not fast enough to pass the old man in less than 35 minutes. So as a result, instead of having an 8-hour day, I ended up with an 11-hour day.
Some people really make me mad sometimes.
