This just happened and I'm **** livid:

Trying to merge north on 79 from Wexford/910. Car in front of me has space to safely go in front of the car in right lane, I have to wait but have space to slot in behind them. There's a car behind me that could also fill that same gap (probably 3 cars worth at normal 79 speed).

Car in front of me hits the brakes to about 35, then slots into the spot behind the car in right lane. I have to slam on my brakes because I'm not expecting this moron to almost stop in the on ramp, and car behind me has to merge to avoid hitting me. I'm now stuck going 40 trying to merge with a line of cars going 65+ because dipshit in front of me doesn't know how to **** merge. Cars behind me are still entering the highway and I'm basically on the shoulder because I have nowhere to go.

**** almost got me killed.

The worst part of stories like this is that that **** moron has no idea how **** stupid he is.

You know, I'm right there with ya. BUT! I've learned a lot about what drivers do and do not know by helping my son learn to drive. Tons of stuff I do instinctually over the 30+ years I've been drive, have to be explained and explained and reinforced with new drivers. That's exactly what your merging issue sounds like.

Fun day of driving today. Took my daughter to school, and while in the 15 mph school zone, some **** clown of a woman sped up and was riding my ass. In the school zone. At my turn, I let every car turning to drop their kids off go in front of me so this dumb dodint had to wait, then I turned.

Coming back from the pediatrician’s office, I watched somebody turn right from the left turn only lane (they had a red light), nearly hitting a car that had a green arrow coming from the other direction.

I have to drive through three school zones to get mini meow to school each day. The way people drive through there boggles my mind. Slow the f down. This is coming from a cat that has had a plethora of speeding tickets. Ya boy meow likes to drive fast. I don’t go one mph over in a school zone and I’ll be a huge jerk to anyone that does.

"Drive like your kid lives here" are my favorite signs.

I've never seen those.

Like this?

Postby **dodint** » Tue Sep 28, 2021 9:19 pm

Yeah. I consider them an open invitation.

Can't spell childfree without freeeeeeeee!

Gotta exercise those reflexes. Learn to be quick.

Wait...are the kids vaxxed?

Some idiot put one of those out by the end of their driveway on Peebles Rd. Don't buy a fcking house on a road that busy in the north hills if your worried about your spawn.

There's a house nearby that has this one outside (on a quiet side street):

And he's actually laying on his side like somebody ran him over.

Postby **Kane** » Thu Sep 30, 2021 12:03 pm

I'd run it over with a power wheels.

I picked a great time to sell stuff on eBay. Sold my old Fire TV Cube for $55 on eBay, and after their fees and the new USPS rates ($9, GTFO), I net just over $37.

Yeah, I had been selling some stuff on ebay on either side of my move and was surprised how far off I was with my postage...I am a very experienced shipper of things, but things just ballooned I guess...

Postby **NTP66** » Fri Oct 01, 2021 10:27 am

USPS - even after eBay's discount - was only like $.40 cheaper than UPS. Free pickups with my normal mail delivery is basically the only advantage now.

Whoa...that's way closer than I ever would have guessed...

Postby **NTP66** » Fri Oct 01, 2021 10:30 am

Yeah, that was a big surprise. Speaking of, that's one of eBay's best seller features now - seeing a full comparison of shipping costs from all vendors in one page. I love it.

I’m eventually gonna be in a state of mind where I run some of the presidential candidate signs that are still out nearly a year later.

Postby **NTP66** » Sat Oct 02, 2021 7:04 am

Seriously? No more signs over here, but two neighbors a few streets over have Pissbaby 2024 flags (no American flags, strangely enough).

saw a pretty official PETA flyer that read “Why go vegan? To honor God. It’s God’s plan for the world”

ah yes, the same god that gave us canine teeth and a natural hunger for meat

how can people be this stupid?

Postby **count2infinity** » Wed Oct 06, 2021 2:31 pm

There are plenty of good reasons to go more plant based in your diet. God is bottom of the list.

God is...grains and breads...?

Clearly you've never been to the creationist museum.
