The Universe Smirks

For someone who really doesn't like long road trips, or driving for more than 3 hours in one day, I've been spending a lot of quality time with my Kia.  So in honor of this development, I thought I'd give ya my top 10 reasons I hate road trips:

10.  That person who tailgates you for a mile, then moves in behind you when you move over.

9.  That person who cuts right inbetween that teensy space between you and the car in front of you....and then slows down by 10 miles an hour.

8.  That moment when you've gone through the drive through and pick up your fresh Coke to take a sip and it spills all over you, because they didn't put the lid on right. 

7.  Bumper to bumper traffic at 4 miles an hour.

6.  Having to be somewhere soon in bumper to bumper traffic.

5.  When your GPS decides it's going to have a lil laugh and sends you down a dirt, dead end road surrounded by rickety trailers in the middle of the night.  Cue scenes from Deliverance.

4.  Playing mind games with your car about how much further you can make it on less than 5 gallons of gas before stopping.  A game which you will prolly never win.

3.  Construction.  There is ALWAYS construction.

2.  Buying chocolate on impulse at a gas station, and having it be a melty gooey mess 5 minutes later.

1.  Sunburn on one side of your body. 

So, although road trips are marginally sweetened by sunsets, sunrises, singing at the top of your lungs and getting where you're going....I'd still rather be a passenger.  And the universe smirks.
