Got a couple of jimmy rustles related to the slow down or move over law. Issue #1 is the mental midgets who slow down AND move over. The law says if an emergency vehicle has its lights on, you need to either move over a lane, or if that's not feasible, slow down to 20mph under the speed limit. When the law was first passed, I was happy, because the way I saw it, it created a rubbernecker lane. I overestimated the sort of retard who rubbernecks. It's so bad now, that if I get into closest lane and go 20 mph under the speed limit, I'm still going 2x-3x faster than the dipshit rubberneck brigade.
Issue #2 is a lot more minor, but it just doesn't sit right with me. They recently expanded the law to include tow trucks, but declined to include all cars with flashers on. My thinking is that if a tow truck or emergency vehicle is there on the side of the road, they are fucking professionals. They do it all the time, they chose to be there, they get paid to be there, and have special equipment. But if an average citizen is on the side of the road with the flashers on, they're fucking broke down. They didn't choose where to stop, don't have much in the way of flashy lights to make themselves visible, and generally probably don't know how to handle themselves in traffic, so greater care needs to be taken around them. Since the law was first passed, I have been extending the courtesy to all cars with flashers for this reason. But the legislature actually rejected an amendment that would have put it into the law and just extended it to tow truck drivers. Well, fuck them, that sounds like they're saying the lives of ordinary citizens aren't worth as much as the 35 tow truck drivers that show up to every fender bender.

Can't remember if I posted this one yet or not, but the people who slow down 10-20mph below the speed limit because its a known traffic camera spot. There is this one strip on a road down here where they always have one of those cars that ticket you for speeding and take a picture of your license plate. The speed limit is 35 mph, this isn't anything new, people know this so people always slow down to 35 mph as they are approaching this area, once they see the ticket car however, they'll hit their brakes and slow down to about 20 mph.
Its not going to ticket you for going the speed limit you dumb fucks!

Odometers are not a guarantee for no tickets. Misreadings are an issue in some cars - not to mention varying wheel and tire size, which the ECU does not take into account. I agree it's annoying people brake though.

Where do you live? I'm pretty sure this is grounds for an ass beating where I live; I've never seen this done before.

In St. Louis. I don't get it, seems like some people see a cute puppy and think they have some right to maul him. My puppy is cool with all the attention, but I don't want him to always associate a person approaching him with getting picked up and swung around and shit heh.

hahaha, I do this every now and then. Usually when I'm alone. I don't remember ever having done it with a person present.
My cat will stare at me when I sneeze sometimes and that's how that started.

This, so much. I tried out the EQ Landmark for a little while this morning and as far as I can tell they haven't even implemented keyboard remapping yet. WTF?
Also, I don't think first person mode is even an option either? WTF!!!???
It's the little things that areso closeto being right, but instead they're just fucking wrong, that really get under my skin.
This line right here when you submit a resume:
What the fuck is that, has anyone ever gotten a call about a different job like 6 months later? Wouldn't it fucking suck since chances are you've found a job by then?

I always assumed that was a pathetic attempt to let people down easy combined with possible data mining.
