Maybe if squirrels weren't such j-walkers they wouldn't be splattered all over the streets.

Why driving in the city sucks

Before I start this rant I just want to say that I don't want to hear about how I should take public transit or find different ways into the city.  I work a contract job down town. It's about a half hour-ish drive on the highway normally… except every damn day the highway is ALWAYS packed. Today it took me an hour and a half to get to work! I didn't see a single accident at all! There was no visible reason why the highway was so backed up for! Its become every god damn day this week where the highway is packed. I've been waking up and leaving an hour before work this whole week but I guess that wasn't enough!   Another thing I hate about driving in the city are the assholes that cut you off. It's either an idiot in a car or some jerk-off pedestrian walking across the street when the cross walk signal says not to. I understand crossing the street when no cars are present or at least not close enough to have to slow down for your ass. It is not cool when I need to slow down for you to cross the street when you're not supposed to. If you wanna walk around, push the button at the street corner, wait for your turn to cross, and cross the street normally instead of walking into the middle of traffic. What sucks even more is if I hit this person, im the one who's liable because they're a pedestrian and they have the right of way… Even when what they're doing is illegal! I still can't get over this! Finally, the last thing on my little list is homeless people who like to walk in between the cars with little signs saying "anything helps". Normally I wouldn't mind the less fortunate reaching out for help… but there is one guy who's there every day, on the same road, at the same time. "Help, I'm on the road. Every bit helps". Unless by "on the road" you mean it literally, as in "Im here on this road", then you're obviously lying and trying to take advantage of peoples generosity. He could have been on the other side of the city by now had he really been "on the road".  And that is that.
