Coming up Clague Rd this morning - two lanes, no shoulder to speak of. Traffic is backed up behind a stopped school bus. I'm sitting there in the lane, patiently waiting with everyone else as I see that the bus is waiting for a kid in a wheelchair being rolled out from his house, then loaded on to the lift, etc. Next thing I know the guy in front of me starts blasting his horn and a bunch of others follow suit. I even hear some people yelling. At first I think a plane is fixing to crash on top of us or something, but no, they are all ticked off that they are having to wait for the school bus and a kid in a wheel chair. Sometimes I feel embarassed to be part of the human race.
