We once found an engine block dumped way up a muddy* ski slope in the forest. If there's any kind of nature anywhere, someone is going to dump waste there even if it takes more effort than dumping it somewhere legal.

Nooooo.

For one thing, they attract bugs and larger critters you aren't supposed to be feeding.

For another, somebody will see them. Maybe it'll just be me 'cause I'm already off-trail picking up Doritos bags (which, at least, aren't covered in ants/flies/bees like discarded produce is.)

But maybe it'll be another hiker. And do you know what a human being does when it sees garbage that's been dumped on the ground? It dumps more garbage on the ground.

If you have the physical strength to carry in an apple you can drat well carry out the core. :mad: Go home and compost that poo poo!

People who are super :smuggo: especially to the point where they have that smug look on their face and there's absolutely no way to convince them to even listen. It's INFURIATING. Currently I'm specifically thinking about driving, and assholes who think they're better than you because of how they drive. This anger started when I saw a minivan with a bumper sticker that said, "the closer you get the slower I go." gently caress you guy. And you'll see it here sometimes too, a goon who brags about being in the passing lane going 55 because "people shouldn't be going over the speed limit."

Sometimes I want to ram into people or run them over GTA-style. I live in the city where 99.9% of people are assholes who drive super fast, break the laws, and cut everyone off--the proper way to drive-- so it's infuriating when there's some suburban loser going the speed limit and obeying laws. Learn to drive in the city, rear end in a top hat!

Oh and then there's morons who try not to get their precious car scratched so they take up 2-3 parking spots on the street. You chose to live here, you should know your car is going to get damaged, so why the gently caress did you buy a super fancy new car? If you don't want your car to be scratched, move to the suburbs or take the bus.

Finally, people who drive instead of taking public transit; specifically, when public transit would be as fast or even faster than driving. It fucks over people that actually do have to drive. And they are also paying $60/day for parking, gently caress them also for being rich.

I am angry today.

I can't think of a single person I know, grandparents included, who have this pussy-rear end belief and are vocal about it which is why it's so weird how many of them exist on SA. Driving around/with those goons might be infuriating. Get the gently caress out of the way idiots it's not insulting your personal honor if you're already too scared to go 60 in a 55, you are already too far gone to deserve respect

People who act like not breaking the law is somehow the obnoxious or inconsiderate option. If someone's driving under the limit, that's a reasonable thing to complain about, but if you're whinging because you're being forced to drive at the speed limit because the person in front of you is, the problem there is you. Just drive at the right speed and reach your destination about half a minute later. It's really not a big deal.

Passing lanes are for passing and you're legally allowed to exceed the speed limit to do so. If some jackass is controlling the lane for no reason then they're in the wrong

That is not the same thing at all. Speeding on the left lane is exactly 100% as illegal as speeding anywhere else, in PA or any other state.

Multiple lanes and it never comes up. 2 lane road, double yellow, I'm already going 60 in a 55? gently caress them.

quote:

An increase in average speed is directly related both to the likelihood of a crash occurring and to the severity of the consequences of the crash. For example, an increase of 1 km/h in mean vehicle speed results in an increase of 3% in the incidence of crashes resulting in injury and an increase of 4–5% in the incidence of fatal crashes.

An adult pedestrian’s risk of dying is less than 20% if struck by a car at 50 km/h and almost 60% if hit at 80 km/h.

Not exactly. If you are on a multi-lane road the defensive tactic is to move over to the right. Which if you were defensively driving in the first place you would be in unless passing. If you are on a single lane road then the protocol is to slow down enough to allow the tailgater to safely pass and if that is not possible to pull over and let them go by. Antagonizing a car behind you by intentionally obstructing their path and going slowly is the opposite of defensive driving.

This is where your stood automatic cars fail again. The correct thing to do is to drop a couple of gears so the back wheels start spinning and smoking, the car slows down rapidly but the driver behind doesn't even get the courtesy of brake lights to warn them.

my favourite cool thing that cool tailgaters do is get right up behind me when there's a slow fucker in front of me. You can see them too, dipshit, what the gently caress do you expect me to do. I'm not going 10 under for fun, and I'm sure as gently caress not going to climb up the rear end of someone who's showing me they can't drive properly.

People get pulled over for speeding in the passing lane all the time. I do agree that if you're going the speed limit you should be in the middle/right though. Leave the left lane for people who want to get tickets.

Speaking of bumper stickers: bumper stickers that make fun of other bumper stickers are almost always 10x worse than the original. Especially the ones that react to the ubiquitous "stick figure family" bumper stickers with something like "I LITERALLY WANT TO MURDER YOUR FAMILY BECAUSE YOU HAVE A BUMPER STICKER ABOUT THEM"

It reminds me of that bit from The Office where Dwight is recording a meeting with a tape recorder and people start narrating funny things that aren't actually happening, and then Andy just goes overboard with it by yelling "I AM NOW CHOPPING OFF PHYLLIS'S HEAD WITH A CHAINSAW"

Two lanes merging into one, my lane needs to merge into the right lane, which then merges to the roadway. Literally every single person in front of me is doing the zipper thing where one car slips in one at a time. For some reason the dildo in a mercedes next to me decides he doesn't want to follow suit and sits inches from the guy in front of him so that no one else (mainly me) can get in front of him.

Good job rear end in a top hat you've just slowed everyone down behind you because now I have to hit my brakes to slow to get behind you before the lane runs out.

It was a little satisfying to see the guy floor it once he got to the roadway, cutting people off so he could get to the far left lane as quick as he could, only to have to slam on his brakes because the left lane was stopped and everyone he just cutoff/passed drive by him.
