Friday's Frenzy & Driving Dementia

Hey it's Friday, and you would think TGIF! Hell NO! Especially when you work right smack in the city center. To add to that, it's the start of school holidays, and suddenly everybody wants to go on holiday too.

Hello...the holidays are for children only, and parents of the children. You singles out there please take another time to do your vacation. Please don't go clog the road especially on a very wet Friday afternoon.

And you mommies and daddies, it's only Friday, you only start the vacation tomorrow...

(I'm so gonna get bashed for saying all these...).

I don't understand why people have to get off work at the same time on Fridays? Can't it be like any other work day? How come the traffic gets so bad on Friday? So bad it's not moving at all. I have been observing the main road out of the city since 5pm, and the queue is tremendously long and static. Is it due to the NAM road-closure rehearsals? But then again, every Friday is a traffic anguish. So where do all these vehicles come from and going to? Why does it have to be Friday?

And of course you could go mad once you got trapped on a Friday jam, especially when your mobile phone is running out of battery, and the car radio is broken. You get to talk to yourself then.

makbudak: that murano looks like it's gonna cut into my lane

makbudaktoo: yeah, no way, I've been in this exit lane since 2 km ago, i'm not gonna let him..

makbudak: why can't the guy just queue up like others?

makbudaktoo: maybe his girlfriend is shouting already

makbudak: or maybe he's just didn't go to school

makbudaktoo: he's got that third world mentality, even though he got a first class vehicle

makbudak: well...some people are just selfish..or "sandwich"...giggles...(Adam always mistook sandwich for selfish)

makbudaktoo: hey! that bmw is cutting lanes too, and the harrier, and the v6...!!! no wonder the line is not moving...

makbudak: oh look! the digital board is flashing someone's plate number for cutting the queue.

makbudaktoo: you think that's for real? I think it's just a gimmick so that people stick to the rules

makbudak: hmm..maybe you're right. I doubt that ITS thingy is working. It's good for telling you which road is packed. It never gives you solution. I never hear people complaining getting compounds from that.

makbudaktoo: yeah...whoever got the deal for installing those tiny cameras and digital signage got be somewhere in the Bahamas now...

makbudak: for all you know that job is sub-conned to others...

And makbudak continues talking to herself, wishing her car would turn into something like Inspector Gadget's car, with extended long branched wheels, moving above the rest of the traffic.
