Thread: Rant of The Day

Wasn't it Descartes who said, "I rant, therefore I am?"......

Why is it that people can't function correctly at a 4 way stop? BUT when you come to intersection with 2 stop signs, the ones who stop there want to treat it like a way 4 way stop? I've been cut off more times trying to go straight at a 2 way stop sign than I have toes and fingers. And I always get looked at like I am the one at fault.... We need BUMPER CARS!!!!!!

Or round abouts!

I have a pet peeve (not exactly the biggest deal in the world) when people stop past the stop line/into crosswalks. You should really be able to stop you car before a little line in the road. It has always been automatic for me...

A nerve close to my mind!
I agree...but, I really would like the pedestrians to get off the curb and cross the street. A few months back, the kids tied up traffic by stepping onto and off the curb at a designated crosswalk. Had a ball they did!

It gets frustrating, especially when you don't know if someone is just going to randomly cross the street or if they have it in their mind that pedestrians don't have the right of way. Just cross the dang street!!!!


One thing that really grinds my gears, when people interrupt or talk over something you are trying to say. It is one of the most disrespectful things to me. It's one thing if it is an excited talk with friends, but when someone interupts and then ignores that you had said anything. Happened in a meeting today >.<

Speaking of pedestrians, I have a problem with jaywalkers when there is a crosswalk 10 or 15 yards away from them, they're just too lazy to cross safely. Grrrrrr!

That doesn't bother me too much, as long as the actually look and cross safely.

What is really bothersome is the mothers that cross with children and don't look before they cross. I almost hit a mother once with a stroller, luckily I had just enough time to react and saw that there was no oncoming traffic. Otherwise, it would've been down into a deep ditch on the side of the road.

Got a local restaurant that has parking the other side of the main thoroughfare and a cross walk 20 feet away. Right...drunk crossing! middle of block on drunk nights.

No plates but they know who he is, and the clerk told me there ain't nothing to be done about it, I was on Indian land and even if he run over me he wasn't going to get not much trouble, he was Indian I was white. The only one who would have been in trouble was me if I shot him. Tc

And no Ron, I was too busy rolling thru the gravel to see a plate if he had one

Actually no. Indian courts have no jurisdiction with non tribal members. The FBI has exclusive authority to prosecute all crimes on all Indian Lands. So if you kill him and make it look like self defense you're home free.
