And The Winner Is ...

Queue jumping at traffic lights is one thing I hate the most. And it's even worse when you queue in line for ages and inch your way to the front of the traffic lights only to have some stupid moron who decides that he wants to just squeeze in front of your car just as the lights turn green!

This happened to me a yesterday evening on the way for grocery shopping. It being a Friday, the traffic light intersection near my place is normally jammed with cars and traffic inches its way slowly. The quick changing of the lights and no traffic policeman man present didn't help matters at all.

It was raining so I don't blame the policeman. I wouldn't want to be caught out in the rain trying to move traffic along for all those people sitting in their air-conditioned cars safely sheltered from the weather. So I wait patiently in line like the rest of the cars out there, all inching their way through as the lights go through its green, amber and red routine over and over again.

Then just as I make my way towards the front of the traffic lights as it turns to green, Mr. Moron on the left (the silver MPV) decides to drive all the way to the front and squeeze his impatient and inconsiderate butt right in. Never mind that he was honked at. Never mind that the rest of us all waited patiently in line like decent human beings.


He just has to shoved his way in and make every car behind me slam on their brakes to avoid read ending each other! And he doesn't give two hoots about the whole situation. Man, if I was driving an old clunker like one of those tough old time Volvo 122's, I would have rammed into him just for the heck of it. That'll learn him! I can't stand people like this. There and then I decided he deserved to be featured in my moron of the week post :D

Trust me, you should have seen how fast I whipped out my cell phone, clicked the camera on and took that shot. Even John Wayne would have been pleased with my quick draw ... LOL! Unfortunately his registration plates were not clear and I can't remember what they were cos I would love to publish it here. Maybe next time I'll get wifey to note down things like that for me. So, Mr. Moron, I hope you recognise your car cos I'm proud to hand you the Moron of The Week award for this week :D

  1. LOL moron of the week. I've seen a lot of morons lately too. Too bad for them, I'm not the very nice type of ppl who would give way to this morons. LOL like the other day on the way home, these morons wanted to cut into my lane, imagine the left side of the road is barely a road, they can't queue like everyone else that they need to take shortcut. No way! XD

  4. Yay to another Moron of the Week!

    Ergh I can't stand ppl who cut queue. It's so selfish of them, like as if the rest of us want to sleep on the road. Haiyar, we all want to get to our destinations too.

  5. I also dislike people who cut queue. It is totally unfair to those of us who are in the queue. I will horn that person like a mad man and flash my lights at him to show my disapproval. If I'm a gangster, I may even tailgate him. Unfortunately, I'm not : )

  11. Maslight - I don't give way too but this moron just had to have his picture taken and feature here ... LOL!

    Queue jumping is like an everyday occurrence over here, sometimes even in front of policemen even. But then the cops don't bother so these people are pretty encouraged by it!

  12. Gallivanter - I wanted too but I was a little slow cos the bum drove off to the other lane pretty fast and besides I had to move as well or I would have been honked at myself ... LOL! Next time I'll get wifey to jot down the numbers ...

  13. Kadus Mama - Tu la, nice car but brainless! That's a good habit, send some of those pictures to me and I'll give them my 'moron of the month' award ... LOL!

    Hmmm, maybe I should send the pix to JPJ too :D

  14. Perky - Exactly. We'll get to where we're going eventually so sometimes I don't see the logic in queue jumping. It's not like it'll save hours by rushing. And it's unfair to those who actually toe the line on the roads out there!

    I can't wait for next weeks moron ... LOL!

  15. Foongpc - You know, me and a buddy actually did that once to this idiot who irritated us on the road. We tailgated him for close to an hour, where he went we followed. We could see the fear in his face ... Oh man, it was a hoot. Finally, the bum managed to bolt and dash like crazy while we were stuck behind a red light. My buddy and me laugh so hard we couldn't drive anymore! LOL!

  16. Meleah - Yeah, especially the inconsiderate ones, but then, all bad drivers are inconsiderate anyway!

  17. Sweet Girlicious - Yeah, I guess stress plays a big part in making one a moron at times ... LOL!

  18. KM - Exactly my point. They'll get to their destination sooner or later, right? It's just plain inconsiderate of them.
