Hyprocrisy

As a high-school girl, I face situations every day in which people are extremely hypocritical. However, the majority of these high-school quarrels are trifling and not very notable. No, if I am going to spend my time recording one of these many situations its going to be a recording of something that irks me to the point of insanity. One such act of hypocrisy is demonstrated by none other than my own mother. Two years before I turned 16 I got behind the wheel of a car for the first time with my mother. Since that day I have heard a perpetual nagging in my ear every time I get in the drivers seat; "Betsy, you are going way too fast, SLOW DOWN!" It is not my mothers concern for my safety that bothers me though, its the fact that every single time I get in the car with her she speeds horribly. Sitting in the passenger seat of her vehicle on I-75 the other vehicles appear to be going at a chelonian pace and if I dare pipe up with "mom, you may want to slow down" it is received with "I have been driving for thirty years! I know how to drive!" It is completely ridiculous reasoning; "driving experience", as she calls it, does not give anyone the right to break the law, especially as severely as she does. This is only one of many hypocritical situations I have faced, but it is definitely the most blatantly annoying.
