Testing my faith in humanity

[kromen]

I've been there many times myself. As far as driving goes, I wish i had a box of rocks to chuck out my window at those who weren't paying attention. It woud make for good viral video.

A buddy of mine came up with an idea for bad drivers. Every month the police hand out darts ( the ones with the suction cups on the end ). When you see a stupid driver you shoot them with a dart, they can only be removed by the police. When a driver gets three on their car, the first cop to see them pulls them over and give them a ticket for being stupid. Then he removes the darts and the driver starts over. After three tickets in a month their licenses is suspended. Three suspensions it's revoked. Before you can get it back you have to go to driving school. Oh and stupid drivers get no darts to shoot.

But I bet the clerk wanted to give you an award. They can't do things like that, no matter how badly they might want to.

-chuckles- Actually I have been to Subways before, where there are signs that read "If you are on a cell phone, we will not take your order" or "If you are on a cell phone when you come up to order, you will be sent to the back of the line"

I had a asshole talking on the phone while in line at Subway. The clerk asked him three times if he was ready, but he just kept mumbling into the phone. Only when I stepped in front of him and placed an order did he become irate. He said he didn't hear her talking to him and the person on the other line was giving him the orders. I calmy handed him a pen and a napkin in which he gave me the stink eye. That's all he could give me since I had a foot and about thirty pounds to my advantage. Ain't humanity grand?

Good for you.

Hey, as long as driving is a right rather than a privilege most drivers are going to be bad ones.

I get sooooo tired of this "driving is a privilege, not a right" bleat--in a lot of places, driving is a necessity. I am fortunate enough to have a good bus route to get to work--all stops reasonably near my house or my work, no transfers. Nevertheless, it takes two hours out of my day to get to and from work via bus, as opposed to 40 minutes (round trip) by car if I could park near where I work, or an hour counting two ten minutes wait and ride for the trolley.

If I'd grown up in an urban environment, I'd probably like it. However, when you've come up in the car-dependent south, it's hard to get past the perception that the price of an urban life includes paying four figures--maybe five--a month to live in a closet.
