- rolling stop at stop signs
- taking a right turn from a not-so-rightmost lane
- not yielding to vehicle on main road
- even though the right turn is FREE, STOP COMPLETELY and then turn
- hit a curb while parallel parking
- not stop for 'long enough' at the stop sign according to the instructor
And to top if off, How NOT to get paid 3 weeks in a row.
- Forget to fill your timesheet in before the hardstop Monday 11am deadline. For this I AM PISSED OFF. Hello, Im an intern, please TELL me when Im supposed to do these things SPECIALLY if i wont get paid for it.
- Have your manager forget to approve it. PLEASE HR, inform our full time managers who dont fill time sheets that they're important to us measly Interns.
Too much to ask for? And also, its that time of month. why not just make sure my week tumbles to the secret compartment below the bottom of the barrel of shit, right?

Hey! Delurking again (I'm the Austinite that commented on your campus shooting post) to let you know that I've been there with regards to the whole DMV thing. However, if I were to have a blog, my post would have been titled 'The Waaah Files' because I was a sobbing mess after I failed my first test (darn rolling stop got me as well). So kudos to you for handling it in a more mature manner than I did. My pride took a beating because I had driven for 10 years in India. You'll get your license soon enough, don't worry.
BTW, your mention of Alamo Drafthouse and Hindi movies had me celebrating prematurely - I LOVE the Alamo Drafthouse and I was thrilled to bits that they were now showing Bollywood movies. These days a lot of Indian movies have English names and I didn't realize that Bad Teacher was a Hollywood movie. Yeah, you can tell I don't get out much!

P.S.- Are you enjoying our wonderful Texas summer? ;-).
I keep hearing these DMV stories. You probably wouldn't believe it...I didn't have to give a road test and I didn't even know how to drive a car back then. I learned how to drive after I got the license. Apparently there was some sort of exemption for me.. :)
Always gets the other side riled up :P
