STOP! trying to be nice
Brian Flounders wrote this on January 10th, 2007 and filed it in Rants and Observations.when you come to any intersection with a stop sign and other cars are approaching, it’s not the time to be nice. there’s a simple and logical rule: first come, first served. if you get the the stop sign first, damnit you’d better be the first one to leave the intersection. waiting only causes more confusion for everyone there. i can’t stand when someone gets there before me and waits… or worse yet, tries to wave me through… you’re just slowing me down and slowing yourself down. don’t do it! i got hit by this 10 times on the way home from work today… added a good 5 minutes to my commute. i’m all about random acts of kindness, but intersections aren’t the right setting for it. just cut the shit, folks.
that is all.
no. i lied. speaking about cars – why the hell won’t the automobile industry regulate the placement of gas tanks. every car — driver’s side, rear of the car. i don’t care where they standardize the tank, as long as they do it! it would solve a world of confusion at gas stations. think about it… if every tank was in the same spot, every car would enter and leave the gas station in the same orientation. there wouldn’t need to be any backing up, rotating, turning around, old women crashing into the side of my 1990 ford taurus station wagon because they didn’t know where there tank was. i hope to god someone figures this out.
