I love the road construction dudes that can sympathize with constuction frustrations.

Today in the midst of construction chaos I was blessed to be next to the little old lady in the too big car. She was in the left turn lane; I was in the go straight ahead lane. I’ll admit it looked a bit confusing because of the construction. To actually go straight, you had to slip to the next lane while going through the intersection.

Granny didn’t seem to get that part.

When the light changed, I followed the sign and started to drive through the intersection. I had to quickly stop when I glanced over and noticed granny wasn’t making the left turn her lane designated. Nope, granny was going straight through too.

Unfortunately, the lane wasn’t going to be big enough for both of us. Granny stopped and started yelling and waving her hands at me. Babycub was giggling and saying “I thought grannies were supposed to be sweet – that’s one mad granny”.

While she had her granny tantrum, I drove through the intersection with the road construction crew laughing and giving me the thumbs up sign. At least THEY knew I wasn’t the one in the wrong lane!

I wonder if granny ever settled down.

Peace
