Jebus! It’s just rain!

2:34 pm on Friday, December 12, 2003

Austinites don’t know what to do when it rains. Went by the hospital to visit my grandfather at lunch and it took me 15 minutes to drive 2 miles. People in this town freak out when it rains and forget how to drive. Yeah, there’s water coming from the sky. Yeah, I know it’s cold. I’m driving a car with no heater. Keep moving.

Another thing, what is it about the rain that makes people rude? People in their cars not getting wet act like they are. I’m the one standing out here in the rain. Would you mind stopping to let me get across the parking lot instead of trying to run me down? I’ve noticed this phenomenon for years now. People do not let pedestrians cross the street when it rains. I guess they figure they are gonna get wet if they stop.

On the way back I decided to drop into BK for a grab-and-go lunch. There were 12, yes 12, cars in the drive thru. Do you really think you’re going to get that wet by walking inside? I parked and walked into an empty restaurant. I gave my order, paid, and was out in under 2 minutes. I think two cars got through in that time. Yeah, that drive-thru is a real time saver.

*Furrfu!*

Found you on GeoURL, howdy neighbor! In response to your post not everything about Austin is as bad as the drivers here. Everyone is welcome to add some reasons as to why we love this place so much over at:

The rain was a pleasant change and cleaned off the grime on my car a bit! 😛
