This morning on my way to a job site
(08:30-ish), I had the pleasure of taking I-271 north from
Route 82 in Macedonia during morning rush hour. What a
fabulous show of the stupid modern human in a powered, moving chariot.
Q)
When you can see that there's a very long line of traffic
ahead you do the following:
A) Go slow and steady, leave plenty of room,
and hope you don't have to keep hitting your brakes over,
and over, and over, and over...
B) Follow the person in front of you as
close as possible to help get there that much sooner.
Those extra inches count when you're traveling <5MPH on
the freeway.
C) Attempt passing in the break-down lane those who tend towards answer A
D) The classic maneuver beautifully
demonstrated in Office Space - weave from one
non-to-occasionally moving lane of traffic to the other,
always going no further than if you would have stayed in the
same lane in the first place.
06/19/03 - This page is long overdue. I catch myself
in the car saying (or yelling) "fuckin' idiot!" while I'm
driving around, participating in the madness that they call
driving, all the time.
People are so stupid. They do the dumbest things.
They're inconsiderate. They never plan (or look) ahead.
They are rarely kind to others, except in rare circumstance or
when the situation demands it of them.
Then I catch myself doin' those same things that pissed me
off about other people, and I smile.
Conclusion: We're all fuckin' idiots. Well, at
least I am along with all of the other fuckin' idiots I've
seen on the road. And that's a lot.
