  • problematic streets and lack of sanity

    A drag race of idiots
    The first one isn't really people's fault, but I do wish the local township would fix it. We used to have a two lane street by our house, which was repaved. When they repaved it, instead of repainting the two lanes, they stuck a 'do not pass' sign on it, turning it into the widest one lane street you have ever seen. This, by itself, would not be that big of a problem, except that a two lane street coming into it has a stoplight which has not been changed, with the right lane still a 'turn or go straight lane' with the middle lane being a go straight lane, and the far left being a turn only lane. Because the right lane isn't a turn only lane, people seem to think this is a great place to drag race to get ahead of the middle lane. This is annoying when you are

    A. Stuck behind someone when you want to turn right, and they want to drag race for the head position
    B. In the middle lane, not wanting to drag race.


    Clearly the best idea

    Dear Mr. landscaping person. I understand that it is, in fact, not your truck that is the problem. However, you clearly can tell something is wrong because your flashers are on. I do however, wish to know why, when your entire tire on your trailer suddenly pops off, you decide that your best option is to keep driving, despite the amount of valid turn off places. I also wish to know why you decided to do this on a single lane, 50 mph road.
    Tell a man there are 300 Billion stars in the universe and he’ll believe you.
    Tell him a bench has wet paint on it and he’ll have to touch to be sure.

    That reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Kramer went out onto the highway and painted over the lane markers -- making lanes twice as wide... think he called them "luxury lanes" or something. Caused a massive headache.
