I had an altercation with an expat female last monday night. It was so traffic and she kept on blaring her horns and flicking her bright headlights. As we were merging lanes, she kept insisting she had right of way. Damn expat, when its traffic, you just alternately give way.

I would have confronted her if not for the rain and most probably, she'll tell me off by saying "DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY".

she must be from new york. probably late for her personality improvement class

pansin ko nga, right after some sort of storm, people tend to get real stupid on the road. parang mas madaming mga close calls/altercations compared to the usual.

actually napansin ko na during the storm...wala na pumpansin sa traffic lights! Maybe it's because they know na walang pulis o MMDA dahil bumabagyo???

dahil malamang sa stress over the last weekend. di pa nakapagpapahinga yung mga tao. may ibang lugar brownout pa rin, di pa gawa yung mga nasirang properties nila and stuff.

pero immediately after the storm last thurs, driving was suprisingly relaxing, kahit walang traffic takbo lang ng mga tao sa las pinas mga 40kph.

I'm assuming most if not all tsikot people are decent, educated and above average drivers (upper 10% ?). That means most of the other drivers are worse so it's expected that this is a common sentiment but yes, medyo umulan ng kabobohan sa driving si Melenyo at maraming nakasalo sa daan.

Haaaaay buhay...parang life.

Probably due to:

1) the missing billboards, baka kung saan-saan nakatingin mga drivers na hinahanap billboard ni angelica panganiban
2) ilang araw din sila di lumabas, excited tuloy mag-drive ulit
3) konti lang gumagana traffic lights & fewer MMDA personnels (as mentioned above)

Possible effects siguro ng loosing the normal routine, due to loss in electric, water, cellfone signals, cable.

Maybe some folks are no longer as rested as before due to the brownouts, and may even be on the road more than normal trying to get supplies, relocating to friends/relatives with electric already, or doing errands needed for family/properties affected/damaged by the storm. The mind and body may already be stressed out working out/thinking of all these concerns/"to do"s not normally handled during the weekend.
