Sleep Deprivation

Here's my story for today. So today I went on my last driver's training run. In the two hours I managed to do pretty well, killing only 4 civilians and maiming 5. Ok, seriously, I did fine, I passed the practice test with 6 errors and etc. Anyways, my instructor, whose name is "Yona Lightstone," (what a crazy cool name) tells me that we're gonna pick up her next student and her next student would drive me home. So I drive to this desolate little house with this hardcore Ford F150 pickup truck in front of it and I wait. Yona gets out of the car and rings the doorbell of the house and she waits while I look on. Then, out comes this old, old, old 80 year old looking woman. I am flabergasted. (sp?) I have nothing against old people driving cars, but this lady looked like she was gonna melt. So she gets into the car and I'm thinking "ah hell, she's probably the safest driver on the road." So Yona asks her to adjust her mirrors and then with utter horror, I realize that this lady was Russian and spoke very minimal english. She understood her name, which was "Edad' and the commands, "Go, stop, left, right." Oh yes, she had mastered "Hello" as well. Now, I have nothing against Russian speaking old ladies driving cars, however, this lady was ... different.

Yona: Ok Edad, you're gonna go forward and turn at the next stop sign.
Edad: ... >=)
Me: wtf.

*Car suddenly pulls forward with max accerlation and then after getting to about 40 mph, stopped insanely abruptly.

Yona: Ok... lets take it slower.
Edad: ... ?=)
Me: HOLY (*&%#@_(^%#@_ I'M GONNA DIE A VIRGIN! *cry* *cry*

Anyways, she drives me home and hit about 5 curbs and almost hit 2 cars, if not for Ms. Lightstone's quick braking action. At times, she would randomly rev then peel out and at other times she would go about 10 mph with a horde of honking cars behind her. I realize that not all old people drive like this, for example, I know my grandpa would just tear it up, and smoke all these random cars if he ever drove here. All in all, this was a very satifying experience because I realized there are some insane people on the road. If you ever see a old looking Russian lady with square glasses driving a Ford F150, get out of your vehicle and dive into something that cannot be penetrated by a large pickup truck then start praying to your respective creators. And to think I thought Jaeman drove bad. (Which he does).
