This is amazing. How can people be such giant pieces of poo poo that they think it's someone else's fault that they broke the law. People do this poo poo on the freeway I drive every day. They run down the shoulder to blow past traffic because they're more important than everyone else. It's similar to the BMW and Audi douches that use the HOV when they're clearly the only person in the car.

They put up a stop light in front of the 11'8" bridge. It's wrapped in black plastic and isn't operational yet but it's only a matter of time.

I estimate this will reduce crashes with the bridge by 5% at best. I'm not even sure that's what they were trying to do, they've been putting them up in front of similar bridges elsewhere in town. I use that road a lot and for what it's worth, the entertainment value far exceeds the disruption caused by the accidents. Of the three or four I've seen in person, none has blocked off both lanes, so at worst traffic slows down a bit if it's rush hour.

Why don't they just raise the bridge? :v: JUST KIDDING! PLEASE NO ONE HAVE AN APOPLEXY!

Tailgating is bad, just zoom around them and slow down to about half their speed until they catch the hint and move to the right.

E: another story of "what did they expect to happen". They did something similar in one of the Jackass movies where they would keep blowing an air horn in the golfers' swing, they eventually started teeing up and hitting balls towards the airhorn.

Don't forget the rear end collisions that will happen from people stuck behind a slow truck on a two lane road as it accelerates out of the intersection and then suddenly comes to a dead stop with no brake lights ten feet out of the intersection.

I think that bridge is going to be bringing us some joy for a long time to come. At least until they finally lower or raise it. :v:

I love how she'd pissed off everyone by causing the plane to turn around and when she's being hauled away she starts screaming for help as if she expects people to be on her side

Here's a similar video where a woman getting arrested on a plane screams "SOMEBODY HELP ME!" and the passengers burst into laughter and then they all applaud when the cops finally drag her away

If I remember my history right, wrestlers who try to stiff other wrestlers who don't want to be stiffed tend to be on the receiving end of some pain if they don't quit it.

I actually ended up in the passenger seat of one of these dangerous drivers today! Our company had its annual meeting this week and I was asked to go with one of the people hired for menial help to go back to the office and help her carry some drinks (because she's an incredibly scrawny drug addict). Said driver happens to be a huge tweaker, so the drive to the office had her swerving all over the lane due to attempts to eat half-melted chocolate while driving.

It got bad on the way back, though. The owner texted her asking where we were (a huge problem she has is impulsiveness and inability to let people do their jobs alone, so I'll admit that the text was indeed annoying and unnecessary), and the driver flipped the gently caress out. She started driving 60 MPH in a 45 zone just because she suddenly got angry. She muttered something about intentionally getting a ticket just to stick it to the owner for trying to speed her up. She even stopped at a roundabout and contemplated driving the wrong way around just to save 5 seconds, because she was so loving on-edge (probably from not having a ready supply of harder drugs than cigarettes) that just annoying her made her start endangering everyone out of spite.

he may have not gotten hit but the pitcher was clearly trying to bean him or make it seem like it. Its like a child going "im not touching you"

Id be pissed if a pitcher would try that. those fuckers can pitch those things like bullets and will hurt like hell.

Yeah I don't follow baseball but that looked like a deliberate provocation.

Even the umpire looks like he's trying to throw the pitcher out of the game (or whatever they do, he's calling a foul)

Nyjer Morgan (Nationals) charging Chris Volstad (Marlins). Morgan had already been plonked for real by Volstad a couple of innings earlier, probably as payback for Morgan's separating the Marlins' catcher's shoulder in an aggressive play at the plate the night before.
