Why I Hate “Roundabouts”

First of all, it’s not “roundabout”, it’s rotary.

Rotaries were created before traffic lights, so this should give you an indication as to their intended use. If you have two streets coming together, you don’t need a freaking rotary! Just get some stinking stop signs! This is their intended use!

Rotaries are very popular now, I can only assume it is because they were developed by the French, and (aside from the actual French people) we love all things French. Haute couture, good wine, a snobby yet beautiful language, Amalie, the list goes on. People, teach your children to eat les haricots verts, and then worry about poor traffic navigation patterns. No one seems to be able to drive as it is, so please, let’s keep it as simple as possible.

Seriously.

Stop Talking on Your Damn Cell Phones When You’re Supposed to be Spending Time with Real People

Stop talking on your damn cell phones when you’re supposed to be spending time with real people. Its not just that its rude, it makes you look antisocial and mildly brain damaged. Also, your kids are going to drive themselves off a cliff in drivers ed because they’ll think its ok to text and drive.

Traffic

This is a message to everyone out there who thinks it’s a good idea to drive like an imbecile on Friday after work.  Message: It’s not.

This is what things look like on a normal Friday afternoon…

…and this is what it looks like when you people decide you just HAVE to get to that all-important dinner meeting on time.

I’ve got news for all you Friday-evening-dinner-meetings-have-to-get-Jimmy-to-soccer-types.  No one, I repeat, NO ONE is going to die because you didn’t get there on time.  In fact, nothing bad will happen at all.  So, get off your damn conference calls, watch where you’re going, and stop running over motorcyclists!
