What? Really? How?

So one of my most hilarious friends at work told me a story today of human brilliance in action. This isn’t a story she heard from someone that told it to someone else. This is an actual witnessed story. First hand. I am pretty sure it changed her life….maybe not but she will think of this occurrence every time she comes to a roundabout for the rest of her life. So here we go. Big breath in, and out….So my friend Courtney was driving in her rental car…that’s another story for another time, and came across one of the more exciting events during a drive around town; a roundabout. They are fun due to the fact that it feels like you are on a race track cause your car is tilted and you don’t have to stop. You can legally run the imaginable stop sign. So the layout of a roundabout here in the grand ole US is as you enter the track, they guide you to the right. If you attempt to turn left, you will run over the curb and make various crunching, cracking scrapping noises with the bottom of your vehicle. So there for, it’s impossible to go left….that’s what I thought and that’s what Courtney thought till she witness something remarkable; a two way two lane round about. Ok ok, there is no such thing, but one of the world’s greatest minds thought there was. Here she was at the entrance of the bout, witnessing a person attempting to go left in a roundabout. He/she creped to the right of the road going against traffic trying to get to the other side. Moving slowly and cautiously which I give him/her credit for. If you are going to do something illegal, do it carefully. But still, what a crazy person. First of all if he/she was trying to get to the opposite side faster….this makes him/her even more intelligent….it’s the same distance if you go right or if you COULD go left. Still the same distance. Secondly, he/she is an idiot. That’s all. It just made me laugh and I feel sorry that every time she goes to a roundabout, Courtney will have to be reminded of this brilliant human being.
