If you're going out tonight, be watchful for people driving in
'invincible mode' - sure are a lot of drunk fuckers out already.

It is a sttupid, tedious "holiday"

2. I almost got rearended on the highway twice on the way home from
Gloucester. Lots of weaving and drifting going on, I'm frankly glad to be home out of all that crap. Oh, and some asshole thought my house would be prettier with a smashed bottle of Corona in the road in front.

3. Me, I'm worried about tomorrow morning...
Driving hung-over can be almost as bad as driving drunk.

7. Yeah I got to get up at 5 tomorrow myself and drive to work at six...
Even worse when you're driving east into the sun.

That solar glare is bad enough as it is, let alone being bleary eyed and sleepless...believe me I've been there...NOT FUN.

I must be getting old.

Woohoo, you're drunk! And you're with all your friends! Whee!
I'm so very sure your ancestors are happy you are celebrating your very real Irish ancestry in just this way!

Now shut the fuck up and let me go to sleep, would ya?

on edit:
If they're driving, that's just...ugh.

8. I used to be one such driver
I was saved by people who cared enough to take my keys away from me and tell me to sit down and shut the fuck up.

9. I deal with it a few times a week
as I get off at midnight - but tonight we'll have a lot of amateurs on the road.

And driving is not a full contact sport here like it is up there. Most of the drunks drive 10mph under the speed limit, and slow down when you come up behind them.

I still worry a lot more about the deer though.
