What Really Grinds My Gears 2.0

I can't believe they didn't trade Pedroia when I suggested it years ago!

It's like they don't even know you exist!! If I were you, I'd take this obvious slight personally!!

Considering I'm moving to Massachusetts in 6 months, I should probably adopt that mindset as well...

Also, you need to disconnect your turn signals. In Boston, using them is considered a sign of weakness and spotlights you as obvious prey...

I mentioned it to Wally. He just put his hands up like he knew and was frustrated about it... Or he was getting to powerbomb me through the concourse. Either way.

The only turn signal I need is my middle fahckin fingah kehd.

I wish my car was outfitted with a megaphone so I could really blast other drivers who tick me off. Car horns just don't cut it.

Road rage incidents are on a sharp rise, maybe due to all the pent up frustration and lack of social interactions, so something like this may get us shot.

I must admit, I feel rage, at times with some of these clowns on the road.

I've been getting the middle finger thrown at me a lot more recently. Before this, I hardly ever saw it. The funny thing is, I'm not doing anything overly egregious when it happens. This one girl flicked me off on a merging two lane interstate onramp because she tried to cut into my lane before looking, then turned her head and saw me there. I didn't even honk. Ok....

That explains why most MA plates I see in CT don't use them...

I'm still deciding on whether I have a car or not. I probably will need one up there, but I don't want one

Where are you living? Where's your job? Will you be working 100% out of the office or travelling from client to client?

Well, clowns can be scary

Don't know where I'm living, working in Quincy, 100% out of the office.

My thought process is that Quincy is in range of the red line, but I would need to Uber find some other way to get from the T stop to the office. I went up there Labor Day weekend to scope out the area and get an idea for various Uber rates, to see how that would equate per month to gas, insurance, and other car expenses. Beyond that though, I only see myself really needing a car regularly for golf, and if I had to go home for anything. That's why I want to try to sneak by without one

I'm driving down a 4 lane road going maybe 48 in a 45- my wife in the passenger seat. I see this extra long "Sparkling Pets" van waiting to turn left in front of me. He probably had time to make the turn, but he waits until I'm too close, then guns it hard in front of me.

I have rarely had to screech my brakes, but I did on this one. I see this big "Sparkling Pets" picture on the side of the van getting closer and closer. I missed it by about 6 feet. I laid on the horn for about 8 seconds.

I was going to call the company to report it, but I never got around to it.
