Black people only eat fried chicken, cops love donuts, red heads are irrational... all are stereotypes. The ones I fit into are stupid blond and bad girl driver. Unfortunately I prove them right. I have no sense of direction, I've got an awful feel for the road and don't seem to pick up on driving common sense.
I volunteered myself to pick up my aunt and uncle from the airport. They had an Armada at the time, which is a huge honking vehicle. I was driving along the highway, bopping to some tunes and chatting on the phone. To give you a little background, my home in Phoenix is 20 minutes from the airport. Well, not only did I get lost on my way to the airport, but I made a 20 minute trip into an hour long driving extravaganza. After getting off and on to four different highways I realized that I was indeed going the wrong way. I quickly got off the highway and proceeded to get back on the opposite direction. As another side note, it was now rush hour traffic. As I was getting back onto the highway, my "drivers intuition" kicked in and I suddenly felt like I was going onto an off ramp. So as quick as a bunny, I turned the car around while on the ramp. Unfortunately my intuition was wrong, I was now going off the on ramp... in rush hour traffic... in a giant Armada. With cars beeping and staring at the little blond girl in this big vehicle trying to get off a clearly marked on ramp I quickly realized that I couldn't just "slip out" of this situation. As luck would have it, this area was also under construction. So I did what any larger vehicle driver would do and ran over a couple of cones and just sat in the under construction area. Meanwhile, all of metropolitan Phoenix is laughing, pissed and honking their horn at the idiot who drove off the on ramp. Once I regained the confidence to drive, I turned myself around and headed back for the airport. Picked up my aunt and uncle, 45 minutes late and still to this day have not told them that I nearly totalled their car on an on ramp.
