Why do people do the things they do????

So this is my first post.  Can't promise how great it will be but here we go.

I swear stupid people swarm me.  Not sure what I have done to deserve this privilege but it is my cross to bear.  It is so bad that my kids yell at me about naughty words in the car - "STUPID" & "MORON".  Of course, when my DH drives with them, they tell on me.  He honked at someone one time and from the back seat came "Stupid driver". Of course, that led to an intervention with my supposed anger issues while driving.  Don't people know that driving is a race and we must all win????  If not, get out of my way.   (Yes I'm holding back what I might add that are truly naughty words but with the possibility that my mother might read this, I must keep it clean.

So observations from today during the few short minutes I was out taking the kiddos to school and get my Starbucks fix.

• If you know one of the kids helping opening the car doors as you pull up in the car pool lane, you don't stop immediately and let your kids out there.  This is especially the case when they are at the end of the line and you are supposed to be at the front of the line.  MAJOR BACKUP ensues and makes MOMS who have not had their STARBUCKS yet, very CRANKY!!!!  Yes it was a dad.  Observation is dads break the carpool lane rules the most.   Guess they are not getting the notes that are being sent home from the Principal nor the teachers.   Note to wives - ADD THEM TO THE E-MAIL DISTRIBUTION LISTS!!!!  
• If you have an SUV or Minivan, (yes I know that is most of the moms in South JOCO) learn the turn radius.  You don't need to take up the in and out lane up at Starbucks.  I have an SUV.  It has a sharper turning radius than our sedan does.  If you can't figure this out, maybe the drive-thru is not your option.  Yes I know this will mean you will have to get dressed before you do drop off but you won't cause a cluster of the people trying to get in and out through the only lane available.
• Your SUV or Minivan also has no front end to it.  It doesn't stick out 6 ft so yes you can get closer than 10 ft than the next car.  This makes the order taking go much smoother and helps keep the line from backing up needlessly further.  
• Turning right from the left hand lane out into traffic is not advised.  There are clearly 3 lanes coming into the strip mall area where Starbucks is located.   One in, left turn out, and right turn out.  I know it is not mark but it doesn't take a brain scientist to see that there are 3 large pieces of concrete that hmmm let's guess this one - oh I bet you can - Yep, the SIZE of a vehicle.  So that makes it logical (oh wait, that would assume these people are smart) that you would follow that method.  Don't turn right out of the left one or take up half its space.  Holds that line up and sometimes it is a B%^!* turning left out.  (OK already broke my first rule of no naughty words so I used symbols!)

Ok.  That is all for now.  Off to field trip with DS.  It is at Deanna Rose.  I HATE Deanna Rose.  Pray for me.

Update after field trip - Deanna Rose was not bad.  We did the historical tour and have to say it was my most enjoyable trip to there.  Usually I have my DD climbing up my legs back into the womb because she is scared of every animal that is moving.  Since she was happily at Kindergarten and we didn't even go to that part of the farmstead, it was okay.  Kindergarten pick up NOT SO MUCH!  We all received the nicely worded e-mail yesterday after it was a cluster so one would think it would be good to go today.  Nope.   Mom/Grandma not sure which out of the car so she can get baby girl all in and kissed.  Daycare bus in the normal carpool lane and not the one reserved for Daycare buses.  Can't say what happened behind me that was all in front of me.  I know one of the offenders from yesterday was behind me.  Purposely sped up so I could turn in before she did so I wouldn't be stuck again today.  Another one that must get out and get their baby girl all kissed and buckled in.

Will try my best not to let any more stupid people get to me today but not promising anything.
