Let's extend that to the yaps sitting at green fucking lights texting and talking. If they would pay attention, we might get through those intersections a little faster. Nothing worse than missing a green because three cars in front all were texting when the light turned green. (And that goes for both men and women primping in their mirrors, thus not noticing that the light has turned green. I'm thinking of buying a really loud train horn for my vehicle. Come on, your beautiful already, now fucking drive!)
And what the fuck is it with people who think they suddenly get the right of way just because they pull out in front of a fast moving vehicle? That's just asking to get T-boned or rear ended...or maybe they just aren't paying attention because they are on their phones.
And then there are the rubber necking sight seers. Rush hour? Seriously? Some of us actually get in our cars to get from point a to point b in a reasonable period of time.
And how bout the towns that simply refuse to time their lights on major routes? No doubt many of the same ones that slap up a light after one wreck, not realizing the multitude of new wrecks that knee jerk reaction will cause. Isn't it great sitting through more and more lights because wrecks occur mainly due to texting, cell phone yapping, and primping?
And yes, those fuckers who lollygag in the left lane. They are extremely aggravating..especially ones who have appointed themselves the protectors of the speed limit, and will make damn sure you can't get around them. That's when you want to ride their bumper with a jeepers - creepers tractor. Bet they'd get our of the way then!
Just been waiting to get all that off my chest. Thanks for the thread Leap. No doubt I'll be flamed for some of my views. Too fucking bad. Flame away.
You've got about five points there, so responses:
1. If I didn't have a Mercedes, I'd LOVE to have an air horn like a semi, or train horn (love that one!) installed! And these folks don't care if you're late. They could have done all of that at home, but that would mean TIME MANAGEMENT, a foreign concept to them.
2. When I was a kid in New Orleans, they WOULD have been hit! I actually remember my Dad's friend from the chem plant he worked, had a Chevelle, and used the chrome bumper to literally PUSH these types out of the road, lol! Remember Dad cringing waiting to be picked up when it his friends turn to carpool Dad and two others. And damn, the stories after he'd come home! Lol!!!!
Should try to look him up, as he probably doesn't know Dad died last year, but I really wanna see if he's not in prison by now, as I'm sure cell phones would have been the final straw for him.
3. As for people stopping to see the crashed cars! Omg that is my pet peeve of all times!! These people should be taken out and shot, and I'm not kidding!
An early AM crash on 95 in Jacksonville = minimum of 10 rear end collisions! Minimum! When I was a Trooper, I used to put on my campaign cover, and stand along side of the interstate flipping out on the dumb fucks who just had to look! Even waved a bunch over to the crash lane, and wrote tickets til my hand hurt. And damn, every one of these people were as dumb as the soles of my shoes! Zero business being allowed to drive, and yes, for the smart ass prick who I would have clobbered if on nights, I sent his OLN to DMV for mandatory re-test. Ooh rah!
4. And these towns who mis-time their lights.. I used to finally run them, but guy in front of me did it, and the flash of the camera (I didn't even know it was there), caught his plate. Still waiting on atruly un-photographable clear plate cover, as no, nothing else works right now. I sadly know..
5. And the left lane "fuck you, it's my road, and I'm the king of kings," types... As stated earlier, a LAWS rocket mounted to bumper would make me smile for days!
.yeah that includes you facebook status updater...sheesh. No one cares about the double fudge sunday you took a picture of earlier...
