The Modern Girl Friday

She's the sidekick, but she can be the whole show. She gives as good as she takes. She's one of the guys. She's all woman. She's a red-blooded, say what she wants with a twinkle in her eye, I won't take crap kinda girl.

BrownSuga's Sweet Spot: You're the One that I want...

Dear Oblivious Person,


I have to wonder, what is it that is on your mind? And why is it that whatever is taking over your thoughts, prevent you from noticing your surroundings. Are you going through a break-up? Do you think your spouse is banging the neighbor? Did you kid get cut from the school team? Did you forget to take something out for dinner?

Maybe your music is too loud and you can’t think straight…

But whatever the reason, as someone who is stuck in the mess you’ve created, I’m asking you to get your head outta your @$$ and DRIVE.

You are creating traffic jams. And I know when you look ahead of you the road is clear and when you glance over at the cutie in the car next to yours, they’re driving right next to you without a care in the world, but take a glance behind you.

There are hundreds of us back there frustrated that at least ONE of you won’t drive faster. Some of us have been on the road for more than an hour and all we want to do is get home to our families.

Have you ever considered becoming a passenger carpooler? Not only would that get you off the road but you’d be helping the earth as well.

I know there are laws that you think you’re following but lets compare the two options:

1. You speed and maybe once in a blue moon get stopped by the police and receive a ticket
OR
2. Continue driving the way you’ve been driving and let all of us commuters behind you get your tag , track you down and really show you what it’s like to mess with a New York Commuter.

The choice is yours. But as a concerned and caring commuter, I’d suggest option number 1.



Signed,
A tired commuter
