Who the hell runs a red light with a colleague in the car?!

Or at all really?

Colleague and I were driving to a meeting running late because of roadwork detour. Colleague had offered to drive because she knew the way.

We're at a busy intersection, the light turns red as we approach, she speeds up and signals for a right turn. Onto a double carriage way! She says, "Hold on I'm just gonna...". The light was properly red and traffic was starting to move from the sides.

Out of fear I shouted, "Please no!" and she stopped. I went on to say, "Do that when you're alone n the car, not with me".

The meeting went okay and then I made my own way home.

I'm never driving with her again obvs, but it's really made me doubt her judgement about everything, and whether she's actually okay.

YANBU.

Was she supposed to be taking you back?

Waytooearly · 01/08/2019 19:01

Yes and I made other arrangements.

She wasn't remotely apologetic, like she'd had a thoughtless moment or something. She laughed awkwardly when I said I'd make my own way back.

She does a few other weird things, like random naps in the supply closet. But I don't manage her so who cares, let her be quirky.

Today however was properly bizarre. I really just think she's weird now and I don't trust her at all.

YANBU! Traffic was already starting to move which meant her light had been on red for at least 30 seconds, she wasn't sneaking through as the amber light was switching over. That is really, really dangerous. She is going to cause a bad accident one day.

That’s crazy! I sometimes have to drive students in my job and I drive like I’ve got my baby in the car!

"random naps in the supply closet" Hmm

Something wrong there

Bookworm4 · 01/08/2019 19:38

The naps, how long are they?

Waytooearly · 01/08/2019 19:41

I don't keep track. I assume she's with a client or something and then the the receptionist will be like, "No she's in the closet again". Okay now I'm laughing

Alcoholism?

You'd think Obsidisn but I would smell it if so. Maybe she's on other stuff.

Well she sounds amusing

I had a friend who went around a blind bend on the wrong side of the road at 60mph - never again. What a fuck wit
