Beware of the Bumper Car!!!

Beware of the Bumper Car!!!

We all have appointments that run close to deadlines. We don't take into consideration the BUMPER CAR. As a child, we went to the amusement park and one of my favorite rides was "The Bumper Cars". Where did all those bumper cars go with the demise of the amusement parks?

Ill tell you.  The are out there driving up and down the roads making us late for our appointments!  They are the one's that are at the head of the long line of cars we are following.  We can't see them, but they are there.  They are the ones that caused the accident ahead of you that blocked traffic for 3 hours.  They are the one's that block intersections.

 

 

The bumper car is the reason we must allow extra time to get to our appointments, because they are out there.  We have to set an example to our clients that we are prompt and on time to our meetings, listing and showing appointments. 

They get tired of hearing, "I'm late because I got behind a Bumper Car"

Good morning Larry.  I tell you when driving around here you certainly could benefit from driving a bumper car!  I can honestly say there are more nuts on the road these days than ever before making those padded cars look even better!

How cute is that? How about a train? Since we have such a big train yard in Elkhart it seems like trains are just waiting on the sidelines and when I start my car in my driveway they slowly move forward to block the tracks. . .i run close to being late more often because of them than accidents, but what a cute blog! Well done!

Hi Ev, You mean a "Bumper Train?" That would be different.

Hi Larry I am thinking of getting a cow catcher on the front of my truck to knock the bumper cars out of the way. I totally understand your feelings. The roads are getting more congested,

Hi Noah, A cow catcher would probably work just fine.

Murphy's Law Larry, if your schedule is tight you will hit every traffic light. If you are really running late you get behind a school bus or there is an accident up ahead. You just have to keep a cool head about it.

Hi Debbie, The only way to beat Murphy is give youself plenty of time whenever you can.
