Inconsideration of other drivers

If it is one thing that bugs the hell out of me is inconsiderate drivers. You know the type, the ones who drive incredibly slow or start off from a light at the same pace as a snail. Then we have the ones who drive in the right hand lane and people are trying to merge, yet the people don't move over to let the merging traffic in. And then there are the ones that appear to be in their own little world and decide to use two lanes. And what about when driving on the highway, and the person in the left lane is driving almost directly beside the driver in the right lane, causing everyone else to go their same speed. And don't forget about the ones who don't know how to work a 4 way stop sign. The ones who pull out in front of you and take their sweet time getting up to speed, or not even the speed limit.

Its no wonder why Alberta has so many traffic accidents, when people decide to act like asses and think they dominate the whole road. A little consideration for the other drivers will go along way.

Fucking credit

So I go to buy a new car on Tuesday, and I then apply for financing, and they say they'll get back to me the next day (as I applied in the evening). So anyway I go and find out they want a co-signer for the financing...This strikes me as very odd considering I've never missed any payment on any of my loans/credit cards/cell phones/lines of credit. I have had a few credit cards as well, and all have been paid promptly or compeltely paid in full. I'm 25 years old and this is what I can expect by only paying my debts on time and the proper amounts??? What the fuck.

Now this is what gets me, my good friend is 2 years younger than me, and we had basically identical credit history (about same amount of loans and credit cards etc). He goes and applies for a new car a year ago and gets it no problem, then he goes and applies for a no down mortgage and gets it, first try. Then goes and applies for a motorbike loan and gets it, ended up writing off that bike, and applied for a 2nd bike and got that no problem. That bike got stolen, so applies for a 3rd bike and gets that without a hitch.

So what the fuck is happening???? up until a year ago, we had basically identical credit, and he just gets approved for everything.

Fuck I'm pissed.

P.S. Holy shit, its been over a year since I last posted :O
