NOW THIS IS WHAT I CALL A CARPOOL

Lets talk or rather Bitchellati about Carpool Lanes. They are on virtually every freeway now - to the demise of the lone driver (99% of us) going to work or going about our own business, slowly crawling along in the "fast" lane as those "others", luckier folk than we, speed along without a care in the world . . .  and who are they . . . these 'carpoolers?? Well, to their defense, I do actually know of one real carpool - they drive from Costa Mesa every day to work and there are usually 3 of them, so that qualifies them a a real carpool. 

But the rest of them? No Way Jose!! They are just lucky to be with a friend, family member, maybe even someone they work with, they are just lucky on that day, because on every other day, when they are driving to work or back ALONE, they, too, stare enviously as the lane to their left, as those cars whiz by. But not today . . . today they are with a friend and they suddenly remember - "Hey we can use the 'carpool lane, laugh, laugh . . . we're a carpool!!"

and off they fly, over the double double yellow, freely flowing, eagerly as they snub their yesterday counterparts and leave them in their dust!

A carpool lane was supposed to ease traffic with the lure of carpooling, like moms in the morning! But, it never really caught on for "carpooling", no one carpooled just so they could use the carpool lane . . . and now you just have to have $30,000.00 to buy a Prius, so you too, could get in the "lane". (Now, however, the price of a used Prius, with the carpool sticker has just tripled, as the Prius Co. reached their "Quota" (Quota?????) That's another Bitchellati, for another day . . .)

IF they were for REAL carpools, they would have times that carpooling is needed, say 8AM - 6PM Monday thru Friday, and let the rest of us use ALL the lanes the other time. If we had that one more lane ALL THE TIME, there might actually be a little less traffic than on those 3 lanes that are left for our use - our use . . . the real commuters of LA

SO, I say and I hope others will agree . . . the carpool lane is stupid, except when you get to be in it . . . like when you are on the way to the theater which starts at 8 . . . with your girlfriend, chatting about whatever . . . those times, you get lucky, you get to be in the "lane". 

So when you are sitting on the freeway while everyone seems to be passing you by, and you wish you could do a Larry David ("Curb Your Enthusiasm")  and pick up a hooker, just so you can use the carpool lane,  just think about how lucky you are to not have a fish in the face!!

Hey, maybe this site is our version of the Larry David show - or George Carlin  - - The Bitchellati Show!! After all, all they do is Bitch Bitch Bitch!
