Reading the comments, initially I laughed and then got mad. People were/are idiotic for ever believing any of this shit. The one-way decals at the grocery store did it for me. I purposefully went the wrong way.
In some cities, the drivers have really poor tolerance for things that irritate them, and poor impulse control. You might get yourself/passengers shot or forced into an accident by doing that.
That’s just dumb. Let them pass you. Slow down when they pass to shorten the length of time it takes. You don’t know if they have someone bleeding to death in the backseat.
But they don't need to get in front of me. The other lane is already faster, which is why they're passing me there. They can go as fast as they'd like once they're over there. They just want to bulldoze you out of the way to be dicks, and I don't really like tolerating people who are acting like dicks.
Am I when I do that? Yeah kinda, but I only see two choices.. let them get away with being a dick or do something, however small, about it.
Don't worry though, I've been over in a foreign country for a long time now. The drivers here are ridiculous. There are racial stereotypes about these people for this reason. I'm here, it's true (though, I will say, it basically works for them... I think it's more of a vastly different style than "bad driving". When you use this style in the US, you're going to cause an accident though). I just stay out of the way.
Happened to me last week. I was going 45 in a 35, went around the bend where another community begins and 25 mph speed trap. Police sitting there! Put on my brakes and got to 25 mph prior to entering the city. Cop pulled out behind me and I thought he was going to ticket me for the other community. I slowed to 22-25 mph just to annoy him. Stopped full stop and looked both directions twice before proceeding. He went another direction then. I guess they think we are stupid and can’t see in our rear view mirror! But the response to real crime takes forever. Ticketing speeders is definitely safer!
when they pull up behind me at stoplights with the boom boom boom noise that rattles ones soul I pause when the light changes to green then I go really slow. I hate that shit.
If they're obvious and rude about it, yes - I do stall and then smile and say "pardon me" as I walk on. I generally take our 5-year-old along and she is the source for most of the hold-ups as she throws everything under the sun we don't need into the cart, so I am constantly stalling to put things back. Unicorn cakes, magic straw bowls, dog toys (we don't have a dog), miscellaneous kitchen utensils...
The ONLY sign drivers cannot read is "Slower Traffic Keep Right."
Every Karen out there trying to make everyone go the speed they want is the number one cause for issues on highways. They are the ones that back up and compress traffic making the roads much more dangerous.
Go whatever speed you want, but stay in the right lane unless you are passing. Simple.
Despite all of Germany's issues, they figured this out long ago with their autobahn. Everyone gets right because there might be an 80 mph difference between lanes. It's intense, but holy shit do people understand "slower traffic keep right."
The worst ones are the ones that just want to go slow every time gas prices jump.
I don't care if you want to go a little under the speed limit on the freeway but don't be in the number one lane doing 55mph when the speed limit is 70mph.
Move the hell over unless you are passing someone.
I followed the arrows as long as it was the direction I normally went, but the store I frequented always had the dairy aisle in the opposite direction I walked, so it was wrong way for me :)
I did the same, one way…well I was only going one way! And I NEVER listened to the "6 feet apart" bullshit either. The amount of retards that went along with this is scary.
For me it was the cloth (and paper) face masks. My own sister, who has a biology degree and worked in a lab and SHOULD KNOW BETTER hand-made a bunch of cloth masks and I noticed in a picture she sent me of her son two weeks ago, he was still wearing his mask. W.T.F. Like the majority of the world thinks scientists that work in biolabs dealing with deadly diseases are wearing cloth masks? Fucking stupid.
so ridiculous and stupid what people were led to believe and how much we were willing to put with. Everyone's true color came out during the pandemic. Maybe that was the whole purpose and why God let it happen. So we can see everyone for who they really are and what they're made of.
Exactly, I told a student worker at my local university, if you ever wanted to know how you would have treated minorities in Nazi Germany, your behavior today shows what your decisions would have been.
Exactly this. Very revealing. I have family members who talked of turning in the Amish neighbors for having family gatherings, church and weddings, when it was "violating mandates" made me sick. Later this person seemed a bit more awake to the propaganda, but I still struggle to trust this person knowing what was said. Thankfully they never actually reported them, but still. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
The people that were very pro vax/mandates usually are also anti religion. But they would have been the ones 100s of years ago that would fall for whatever fake religious trend was at the time. Such as burning witches for the public health. They think they would be the opposite but it 100% be them.
Actually, I saw more churches pushing this crap than not. You'd be shocked at how strict many of them were. The older the congregation, the stricter they seemed to be. Maybe because their "flock" was indeed a bunch of blind, scared sheep.
Hmmm that brothels were open and church was banned or no dr apps because of an imaginary line claiming I was no longer a border town, decisions decisions
When it first came out I admit I was terrified. In less than a month into it one evening I remember looking at my husband and saying, something isn't right.
He said what. I said if this is as deadly as they say and you need to wash your hands constantly, why are the homeless not dead and piled up in the streets?
They emptied the jail in my county and the police were told not to arrest anyone. Criminals were roaming town and breaking into everything. Someone kicked the door in one night at a house I was remodeling. When I called the police they told me they couldn’t do anything and I should just replace the door. Follow the science.
Scientist by profession. I was asked to stop questioning upper management’s policies and procedures. Cracked me up. My literal job is to investigate theories and ask questions. 😂
I was in my car outside a pizza joint. A woman drove up in her convertible, with the top down, wearing a mask! She was alone. Then she got out and went to the door, and took her mask off!, before going in where she would have to talk to the people at the counter!!! WTF!!! She was so proud of herself!
My favorite one was it was to "save grandma" and yet most kids out of school were watched by grandma. That's what my husband and I did. We had the grandkids here. We are not vaccinated and neither are they. So we were with our family the whole time others were separated from theirs.
My first red flag was enough to get me completely off their train and it happened very early on. We were all questioning what was going on in the first weeks, was there a danger or not? The hand washing and sanitizing stuff seemed ok UNTIL I happened to hear a discussion on hand washing. You know that thing surgeons do in a specific way for a specific amount of time to ensure there are no germs left? Yeah, that thing. We were told it makes no difference if it is hot or cold water. I was like WUT?!?! BASIC! I knew then and there that none of this was serious.
All of it was dumb but what got me was restaurants must close at 10pm. Did the virus only come out at night?
Also, they shut off all video lottery machines like video poker and scratch off vending machines, etc. So if you were grocery shopping and wanted to buy a scratch off, you couldn't because of high virus risk. But it was totally cool to be at the store with all the people.
Only going in and out specific doors did it for me. Walmart shut down their household store doors and funneled everyone through the grocery doors. Which really just packed people closer together.
Our factory is an essential business so as long as we maintain 6 feet of distance and wear a mask we'll be fine. Meanwhile people have to ask for tasks and hand off/acquire tags and papers, touch bins and tools touched by others.
And I wound up with pneumonia and a collapsed lung.
When the 15 minutes to infection mess was in place, my grand babies in elementary school were allowed outside recess, but at 15 minutes the teacher blew a whistle and the kids all had to change who they were playing with!!! Such insanity!!
Reading the comments, initially I laughed and then got mad. People were/are idiotic for ever believing any of this shit. The one-way decals at the grocery store did it for me. I purposefully went the wrong way.
Me too, lol. Do you also slow down when someone tries to get you to speed up?
I do.... tailgate me all you want, I'll slow right down.
That's actually the recommended response, because now you are braking for two in case of hazards appearing ahead.
I slow down until they get fed up and go to pass me, and then I speed up.
In some cities, the drivers have really poor tolerance for things that irritate them, and poor impulse control. You might get yourself/passengers shot or forced into an accident by doing that.
Your a monster.
That’s just dumb. Let them pass you. Slow down when they pass to shorten the length of time it takes. You don’t know if they have someone bleeding to death in the backseat.

And oh so much more profitable, too.
You have that right. The last 5 days of the month are the worst-quota time!
That's because they are policy enforcement officers. Even the supreme court said they aren't there to protect you.
Very true!
when they pull up behind me at stoplights with the boom boom boom noise that rattles ones soul I pause when the light changes to green then I go really slow. I hate that shit.

Comparing those 2 things is pretty silly.
i just hope you're not in the passing lane when you do that.

Drive right. (Literally and figuratively)
Pass left.
So simple a 5th grader can explain it
The worst ones are the ones that just want to go slow every time gas prices jump.
I don't care if you want to go a little under the speed limit on the freeway but don't be in the number one lane doing 55mph when the speed limit is 70mph.

Obviously, I was referencing a certain personality trait.
They're still on the sidewalks in my neck o' the urban woods. I tear 'em off when I am there with a few spare moments.
I followed the arrows as long as it was the direction I normally went, but the store I frequented always had the dairy aisle in the opposite direction I walked, so it was wrong way for me :)
I did the same, one way…well I was only going one way! And I NEVER listened to the "6 feet apart" bullshit either. The amount of retards that went along with this is scary.
I was too busy concentrating on shopping to pay any attention to what was on the floor. Seriously, you want me to multi-task or something???
Gretchen Whitmer not letting me buy garden seeds.
For me it was the cloth (and paper) face masks. My own sister, who has a biology degree and worked in a lab and SHOULD KNOW BETTER hand-made a bunch of cloth masks and I noticed in a picture she sent me of her son two weeks ago, he was still wearing his mask. W.T.F. Like the majority of the world thinks scientists that work in biolabs dealing with deadly diseases are wearing cloth masks? Fucking stupid.
I know an actual freaking biologist that wears a mask alone in his car. He says he can’t take any chances.
Yeh but I’ll bet he took his chances with being a vaccine experimental lab rat.
He did. And he’s a scientist. So much for intelligence on paper. Common sense and intelligence do not go hand in hand.
I have a son in that exact situation. Bio Phd. Totally brainwashed, zero discernment or common sense. I am living what you are saying.
I just saw someone double masking still. Unreal.
The crime scene tape around the swing set with an armed cop guarding it. A little girl wanted to swing on the swings and he wouldn’t let her.
The cops that arrested a paddle boarder for being out in the daytime during lockdown.
so ridiculous and stupid what people were led to believe and how much we were willing to put with. Everyone's true color came out during the pandemic. Maybe that was the whole purpose and why God let it happen. So we can see everyone for who they really are and what they're made of.
Exactly, I told a student worker at my local university, if you ever wanted to know how you would have treated minorities in Nazi Germany, your behavior today shows what your decisions would have been.
It showed me how easily people will take the mark of the beast.
Exactly this. Very revealing. I have family members who talked of turning in the Amish neighbors for having family gatherings, church and weddings, when it was "violating mandates" made me sick.

My former church had a sign out front that said, "Love thy neighbor, get vaccinated."
I suspect the churches are taking money to push the jab.
More concerned with their tax free status than anything else. Most of them are tax shelters for their wealthy members.
I have noticed that as well that they're usually the anti religion ones.
So true
cold/covid virus = 0.4 microns in size
n95 mask hole size = 40 microns
cold/covid virus = 100 times smaller
same ratio as rats to train tunnels ..
(micron = 1 metre/1 million, 25.4 microns = 1 imperial thou)
Mandating citizens here to be jabbed but not any of the illegal border crossers who could have practically ANYTHING and be bringing it to the US.
Remember when deBlasio and his wife danced on the stage at Times Square on New Year's Eve while everyone else had to stay home?
Him mouth fucking a cheeseburger and fries on tv in some bid to encourage people they can go eat a greasy butger too if they go get vaxxed.
Yes, and made by someone breathing their germs all over your cheeseburger!

Yes, and Grancy's expensive haircut?
I'm so tired of the mass mental retardation of society.
I see people wearing masks today,that don't have to,under their chin.
Plexiglass dividers in our nursing station. How idiotic.

This was our Great Awakening.
And masks tossed everywhere not in a hazmat disposal bag. WTF eh?

Someone kicked the door in one night at a house I was remodeling. When I called the police they told me they couldn’t do anything and I should just replace the door. Follow the science.
Them: ‘Oh what a nice new flower bed you have there. ‘
You...’oh. Uhhh. Gee thanks. ‘
This one made me lol, "No going out on isolated beaches by yourself, you may infect the grains of sand or transmit to the fish"
CDC's jab policy of no aspiration probably killed millions.
The sole purpose of most every rule, order, suggestion, recommendation and mandate they made, was the spread of disease.
Scientist by profession. I was asked to stop questioning upper management’s policies and procedures. Cracked me up. My literal job is to investigate theories and ask questions. 😂
The great governor of NM has re-instated masks mandates.
You could travel on public transport FOR THE DEADLIEST and CONTAGIOUS VIRUS EVER??
I was in my car outside a pizza joint. A woman drove up in her convertible, with the top down, wearing a mask! She was alone. Then she got out and went to the door, and took her mask off!, before going in where she would have to talk to the people at the counter!!! WTF!!! She was so proud of herself!
