Driving
BIG A55 REDNECK TRUCKS PARKED DOWNTOWN
Pull those forward a little more. I swear, they're a hazard! If you don't pull up far enough, it's very difficult to avoid them during heavy traffic, especially during the evening and it's raining. Tie tires are big enough to go over the curb or something. I'm not against large vehicles or anything, just those that get in the way and become hazardous to others. And it's not just trucks; for you pricks who can't park, pull your car forward some more too!
Turning? USE YOUR #uck1ng SIGNAL!
You know when you come to a four way intersection and there is a "yield on green" sign.. yeah?
You want to go left, so you signal so, but the other person across the road is apparently too stupid to determine where the hell they want to go. So when it's their turn to go, they'll sit there with this stupor and wonder if the sky is falling or some sh** like that. Anyways, as a responsible driver, you're sitting their waiting for this #uck up to move so that you can turn without getting t-boned. But he hesitates for a second, as if he were contemplating what sort of being would give born to this $hit (too)! So eventually the #uck up decides to TURN LEFT... which had been your initial intention... but you had the brain cells to signal...
So my question is why the hell would you not signal when you're turning?! I mean, it's sort of why they install those damn mechanisms in your vehicle in the first place. If they weren't essential to driving, you would be able to purchase cars without turning lights that come without safety bags, because if you don't plan to use signaling lights, you ought to die.
Signaling was on the driving exam. Signaling has always been on the driving exam. Furthermore, it's been in the "driving test" study booklets. So there is no reason why you shouldn't be signaling when you plan to turn. It should be some internal instinct now to signal when you turn. Especially you bikers, just common sense really... cars > bikes and Car vs. Bike, well... let's just say it's a bad match up because the car will predominately smack the $hit out of the bike.
But back to you #uckers who can't seem to signal. It's not hard. Use your finger, probably the middle one, and you can easily flick that switch up or down to indicate turning direction.
Think Before Honking: Think about being courteous.
I'm sick of impatient drivers who choose to honk immediately right after the light turns. It amazes me because the idiot who usually does the honking either drives into either a religious establishment afterwords or drives a POS. It's even worse when the person honks and I can't go anywhere because the person in front of me hasn't moved!!!
Another thing!!! The speed limit is 45, if I'm driving 50, there is no reason you need to be honking. IF YOU DO THIS AGAIN YOU WORTHLESS S***, I'M SLAMMING MY BRAKES. (Anyone reading this should do the same)
You have no reason to be in such a hurry. If you are, maybe you should plan and leave a little earlier, or maybe you shouldn't be such a F*ck up. hmmmm...?
So here's the thing, this is how I see it, if the light's turned green, I "count' to 5. IF you haven't moved when there's nothing in front of you, I'll honk. And!!! If you're in a parking lot, especially gas stations', don't walk behind someone who just got into their car. Don't think the world works the way you "want it" to work. Get hit, sue, does not equate money. So do you really want to get hit?
What have we learned you spoiled brats? You never know who you might piss off one day, so maybe it's better to treat everyone with respect and courtesy. Just maybe, but if you don't want to, let's just see what happens. Just remember, the world isn't so cut and dry. shit happens... :P
Yet More Bad Driving
A couple of notes since the drivers here seem to be confused about, I don't know, how to drive.
- The concept of 'right of way' does not disappear in a parking lot. One should also LOOK before making a turn. Just because it seems empty doesn't mean you get to stop paying attention.
- The green light means go. IT HAS ALWAYS MEANT GO. Age isn't an excuse here. It's never meant anything different. I can't figure out if you're a jerk or an idiot.
(No, he didn't stop at a yellow either. It didn't turn yellow until after he stopped.)
Speeding up while trying to pass
Why do people fee like they need to block you when you go to pass them? The loop is the worse place for that. On countless occasions, I have noticed drivers peeking up in the rear view as I am coming up on them from the left side of them slow-poking in the right lane with a string of cars, and then "wham" they cut me off so they won't get stuck behind the slow driver in front of them. The problem is they are going the same speed and refuse to go any faster or get back over (until I get in the right lane to pass them of course)! I try real hard not to be one of those butts that gets up in your grill tailgating and you guys that really piss me off are going just below the speed limit so show some freakin' courtesy if you are obviously holding up the fast lane! Don't get speed envy when you see my car coming up on your port and try to cock block my roll. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't do that to a semi (actually, no I'm not so sure) so don't do it to me, the same laws of physics apply.
Potholes
What's up with all the gorram potholes, Athens?
Is it just me or are the streets a lot more holey than usual? Baxter Street in particular.
bikers

People who should not be in the drive-thru
People who don't know what they want
If you've never been there before go inside so you can look at a menu without holding up the line. Same for people who know they want to order something different but haven't decided what yet.
People who have large, complicated orders
If you want 2 #3s one with cheese and one with extra onions, 3 #2s one with no onions and one with a vanilla shake instead of a soda, a burger with no meat, 3 diet Cokes, 2 regular cokes, 1 soda that's half Sprite and half Frutopia, and the thing that's not on the menu but you can order it anyway...
GO INSIDE!
People whose cars are producing enough smoke to kill all life within 50 feet of it
This should be self-explanatory
Stupid people shouldn't drive!
Scenario: You're driving down Broad and you see the McDonalds. However, you miss the entrance and there are two cars at the exit waiting to turn (one left, one right). Do you
- Keep going and turn around at the next opportunity so you can drive in through the entrance
- Try to enter through the exit anyway by driving onto the sidewalk, nearly hitting the car trying to turn left
If you selected the second option then you are the brain dead b*tch that almost hit my car.
If your brain is incapable of functioning on a level higher than 'I CAN HAZ CHEEZBURGER?!?!' then you shouldn't be driving at all. Sit your ass at home and get a nurse to take care of you because you require at home care.
The Blue Honda parked in the cross hatch
It's hard enough to navigate through that parking lot. Parking in the yellow stripped areas, you know, the no parking areas, makes it d@mn near impossible.
Those areas are designated as no parking so that people can get in and out of real parking spaces and maneuver through the parking lot. People shouldn't have to waste 10 minutes inching around just to avoid a car that isn't supposed to be there in the first place.
What are you going to do when someone ends up hitting your car? You can't complain; you were illegally parked. Any damage to your vehicle will be your fault.
