I really want a dashcam, just so I can review footage and feel validated in acting like a psychopath on my drives home.

I was just texting someone about how atrocious my drive to and from work was today! Multiple tailgaters, speeding, not using signals, arrrgh I really wish I could stop being bothered by it, because I know it’ll never get better, and probably only worse.

What’s a bumper sticker I can make to publicly shame tailgaters? I’ll hand them out to anyone who wants one. I’m thinking “tailgaters smell like poopoo” but I’m open to better ideas. Nothing like a good ole mass public shaming for doodoo heads.

Edit: I’m (mostly) joking about the bumper sticker thing… unless?

The pull my hair thing that the other person commented is really good but the smells like poopoo is so outlandish and hilarious I’d go with that one.

Edit: and SAME to the other part of your comment! All of the things you listed boil my blood but I try to tell myself I can only control what I can. I do find myself hoping that whoever is in the car acting like an ass has a TERRIBLE day and hits a pothole and stubs their toe.

What drives me nuts is when people just continually sit in your blind spot on either side instead of just giving you a few feet (when there’s plenty of open space) should you need to move over or just pass by you like a normal human being. Happens all the time on broad.

One of the worst I see on Semmes is a neighbor. Without getting too specific he has a pirate-themed personalized plate. Drives exactly the way he comes off on next door….. complete @$$h0le. Every morning at 7:30 like clockwork coming from downtown. Flies down Semmes cutting in and out and around, flicks his cigarette butts out into the street.

The thing I've been noticing in the city lately is a COMPLETE disregard for school zones. Well not complete -- it's always one car. The rest of the cars will slow down to 25 as required by law but inevitably one asshat weaves in and out at 45mph like we all just slowed down for our health. It's happened to me lately at Holton, TJ and Ginter Park.

Not gonna lie, I've started ignoring the one at Huguenot High School. So many times I come through there and the school zone lights are flashing but there's absolutely no signs of life anywhere around the school. If they're boarding buses, fine, turn on the signs. If the only person left on the property is the janitor, turn the damn things off.

You put water on the road and the normally awful driving around here manages to get worse

Someone turned into my lane today and was irrationally speeding, I look over, neck deep in their phone. Surprising.

On 85 heading to 460 a silver altima used the off ramp lane to go around someone just as i was signaling to get in the right lane from the left. Then darted to the left lane and gunned it. I hope karma caught up to him

The atrocities committed on Bliley Road just this week. Passing on a solid line, passing someone in the roundabout because they're not going fast enough. What the hell?

Well I was overtaken by some Pontiac SUV down a one lane road a week ago even though I was going the 45mph limit and possibly even a little faster, like they were honking at me and flashing me down this tight road even though it was like dark as hell

Okay so it’s not just me. I had surgery a few weeks ago so I was able to drive to the grocery store for the first time in a month this afternoon and it was a mess. Multiple people walking out into the streets without looking, people using parking lanes to bypass traffic, someone stopped in the entrance of the grocery store with hazards on and the lady behind them wouldn’t go around which backed up traffic, two cyclists pulled out in front of me without looking. I was excited to drive today but the anxiety wasn’t worth it.

If there is the slightest bit of rain or snow this area loses its goddamn mind. On my drive to work today people were going like 40mph on 95. When it rains you simply put your lights on and go the speed limit, you don’t slow down to city speeds on the highway

It’s as if everyone collectively realized that the cops are too incompetent/busy to enforce traffic laws.

Let them be mad. If they cause an accident, it’ll be less dangerous when it happens at lower speeds. I had a woman on 95 this morning tailgating me in the right lane and getting upset, when both the middle and left lane were open for her move around me. Some people just want something to be upset about, don’t let that be your problem.

Semmes is one of the worst streets in the city for speeding and reckless driving, I swear to god.
