    Hang in there
    Oh, rib breaks aren't that bad. I had 14 or so they tell me. Nothing that 80mg a day of oxycodone couldn't handle.

    SHIT THAT ANNOYS YOU

    Receiving an email confirming I have successfully unsubscribed from their mailing list. That's some passive aggressive shit.

    Oh well, better than hitting the unsubscribe and then being forwarded to their website. And then asked to fill out a survey.

    Well - experienced a new thing today... headed to Costco for some gas and misc shit for the hut trip. Chad in his shiny BMW drove up to the fairly busy gas station (with the usual one-way Costco configuration), decided that he didn't want to wait in the line that would put him at the pump on his tank-side, and *also* didn't want to pull the hose over his car, so he fuckin' TURNED AROUND and backed his car to an open pump spot.


    The attendant came over to have a chat with Chad the Moran. Not sure how it turned out, 'cause I had shit to do.


    Goddam entitled idiots.

    I live in a town notorious for bad driving. I've seen people go through the drive through in reverse.

    It annoys me that everyone thinks THEIR town has the worst drivers. Lake Pleezbegon--where all the drivers are below average. Newsforyou--drivers suck everywhere.

    Theory seems to be proven out any time I drive anywhere...

    Kinda like how people think the old saying “If you don’t like the weather, wait a minute” applies just to their town.

    I think some other town(s) other than mine have the worst drivers. Greater Toronto Area. Worst drivers on the planet. God, I fucking hate traveling the 401.

    I don't think the Denver metro has the worst drivers, but they do amuse me sometimes (or in the context of this thread, annoy me). Amusing: when the road is not super crowded, it seems random whether traffic flows at the speed limit or 15 mph over the limit (I-25 through downtown, I'm looking at you). Annoying: I have never seen a group of drivers so scared and baffled by rain. It's like they don't know what it is and slow down by 15mph just to ponder it.

    Also, while not the worst drivers, the slowest drivers in the US live in Vermont. Fact.

    Slower than New Mexico? That's mind bottling.

    IME, yes. For one, the state speed limit in VT is 50mph (only higher on the interstate). And there are plenty of old timers who prefer to drive 10mph under the speed limit. So, 40mph. On the highway.

    Thankfully, Vermont also allows you to pass legally on the double yellow line, so there's that.

    according to Forbes, Texas has the worst drivers due to fatal accidents and drunk driving stats while VT is the safest state to drive in.

    Slowest drivers around here are from Massachusetts. Having driven in Massachusetts, I'm pretty sure they don't drive as slow at home, or they'd have impact damage on the rear of their SUVs.

    So the double yellow is just sort of a suggestion in VT?

    Or Mass or CT where the limits are low like that. Rt 7 in CT gets super slow for miles and miles north of Bulls Bridge right up to the Mass line. Then it's stupid again a good part of the way through Mass. Anywhere the speed limit is 50, like all of Western Mass, there's a fair number of people (and vehicles) that shouldn't be driving even that fast so when you're going to Western New England you just need to budget some extra rolling time.

    unless there is a specific sign that says "no passing zone" or similar, yes.

    My wife and sister-in-law are traveling back from Detroit right now. My wife just texted me that they got on the plane and get back to their row only to find two adult women, a child and a lap baby already buckled in and eating snacks. My wife and SIL had the aisle and window seats. The people in the seats tried to sell them a sob story, but they weren't having it and made them move. God, people have some nerve. I can't even imagine saying "yeah, I'm just going to plunk myself down in this seat even though my ticket says something else. Fuck whoever actually selected this seat."

    no doubt driving so slow makes them safer. Hard to get in a deadly highway speed accident when, ya know, you don't drive highway speeds.

    I've driven all over the northeast (thankfully not much in the last 20 years), and no way are MA or CT drivers as slow as VT drivers.

    The most humorous thing about the 40mph VT highway drivers is that when they hit a town and the limit drops to 25mph, they tend to keep a pretty steady 35-40.

    It's sort of funny how people pick and choose which rules of the road they're going to adhere to. I see plenty of (almost universally) old farts driving five mph under the limit, but then roll right through stop signs.
