What is it with cars? Is it a male appendage? Yes. Is it a compensation for what they are completely lacking in the south park area? Maybe. Is it something they can live without? For some lah.
And do women drive badly in it? Yes.
I'm a woman. And I have to admit, I'm a bad driver. I mean I know how to drive, I beat all the men including a professional race car driver in a race against time, and with precision thrown in for good measure.
But on normal roads, I'm a bad driver.
Besides how I behave on the roads, its also got to do with how I behave in the car.
My mom got out of the car once and my sister said, 'What's the matter? Headache?'
'No' says my mom. 'Just got out of the car with your sister....'
What happens in the car with me?
I turn into the screeching banshee of Upper Bukit Timah that people thought was just a myth.
I think I seriously have a double personality. It doesn't take much for the Jekyll and Hyde effect to take place. The moment I get into the car, its like an invisible chemical that lies in wait and patiently sits back until an idiot cuts in front of me or JUST goes too .......slooow.
What happens? First, that above-mentioned idiot causes something dangerous to happen to me and I'm ready to explode like a hydrant that's been peed on one to many times. That's DEFCON 2. Yup from 5 to 2....there is no in betweeeeen....!
Then, the one thing that feels like a shove at the back of the head, kick in the shin, stepping on your nuts (for the benefit of our male readers),
somebody Honks at Me!!!!!
And out comes the banshee, wailing just enough to maybe make the driver in the next car look around and wonder where that came from.
In any case, I think the crazed mime in the car next to him (me) is probably indication enough of where it came from.
I mean, he Honked at me!!! I was probably my fault......but he HONKED at ME!
I think its a repressed nature.
Or the real reason. Everyone else is stupid on the roads. Everyone, I tell you.
Sigh. I'm fine, I'm fine..... (twitch twitch)......
