I appreciate your assistance in this matter, said no one in Miami ever

The stupid fuckhead wasn’t just in the wrong lane — they were two lanes too far, with no way out of the exit lane before the exit.

But they made space and time for their SUV’s last-second exodus, rather presumptuously borrowing the space where my car should have been. And their turn signal must not have burned out — could there be any other explanation for such an irresponsible slight?

I congratulated them on a maneuver well-executed with my horn. They didn’t seem to notice. As our cars drifted further apart, I found that for some reason I just had to gaze upon this specimen of unadulterated Miami driverdom. I glanced over and saw just the silhouette of a profile. Only but a moment later, a lighter came into view and lit the cigarette between their lips.

Not surprised, not even a little.

  1. Something I do not miss even a little. The worst traffic related annoyances I get up here are people who don’t slow down enough to let you move into the right lane when your signal is on.
