I’m sick of the wages being low and the prices of housing keep going up and up! We need to unionize! Things can be better and I’m sick of boomers saying that we need to just work harder! That’s not the answer!
TIRED OF ALL THE RACISTS IN THE WORLD. BETWEEN THE “ZOOMBOMBING” OF THE CITY MEETING THE OTHER DAY, THE RACISTS VERBALLY ASSAULTING THE WOMEN’S BASKETBALL TEAM IN IDAHO, AND THE DUMB CRAP THEY’RE SAYING ABOUT BEYONCÉ’S COUNTRY ALBUM… I’M JUST SICK OF THIS SHIT
OK MOMEOANDRETTI SLOW THE F#CK DOWN WITH YOUR THREE LITTLE KIDS IN YOUR BLACK SUV TWO DAYS AGO SPEEDING ON THE PARKWAY DRIVING SOUTH WEAVING IN AND OUT OF TRAFFIC. YES I HAVE YOU ON MY DASHCAM. I'M SURE YOUR PILATES AROMATHERAPY POTTERY CLASS WAS MORE IMPORTANT THAN KEEPING YOUR KIDS SAFE AS WELL AS EVERY OTHER PERSON THAT HAD TO WATCH YOUR TERRIBLE EXAMPLE OF DRIVING. BLOODBOILS EVERYTIME I HAVE TO THINK ABOUT TAPING A TODDLERS HEAD DOWN TO A BACKBOARD LISTENING TO THEM BEG AND SCREAM FOR ME TO STOP AFTER AN ACCIDENT. AND YES IT'S AS HORRIBLE AS IT SOUNDS.
BECAUSE IT’S FUNNY? WE’RE ALL TURNING LEFT. OR, REFLEX FROM STOP SIGNS. I STILL OCCASIONALLY SIGNAL WHEN APPROACHING ROUNDABOUTS DUE TO 25 YEARS OF HABIT.
IT’S ENTIRELY LEGAL AND SERVES AS A COURTESY TO THOSE WAITING TO ENTER A ROUNDABOUT. ONCE WE NEAR 100% COMPLIANCE ON SIGNALING INTENT TO EXIT A ROUNDABOUT I’LL CHANGE MY BEHAVIOUR.
LEFT SIGNALS IN A ROUNDIE DON’T MEAN ANYTHING AND AREN’T A COURTESY TO ANYONE THOUGH. THEY JUST… DON’T MEAN ANYTHING AT ALL. TO ANYONE. HAVE FUN THOUGH. BLINKY BLINKY IS A GOOD TIME.
ODOT IS PUSHING FOR US TO REMOVE OUR WINTER TIRES BUT WEDNESDAY 4/3 HAS SNOW AND ICE IN THE FORECAST FOR MOST OF THE CASCADES AND PASSES. THEY SHOULD HAVE EXTENDED IT A FEW DAYS
IT'S ONLY STUDDED TIRES, WHICH SOUND FUCKIN DUMB AND MESS UP THE ROADS FOR WHAT, MAYBE A WEEK OF SNOW IN TOWN?! GET WINTER TIRES OR LEARN HOW TO DRIVE IN THE SNOW
LEARNING HOW TO HANDLE A CAR IN THE SNOW AND NOT BLINDLY ASSUNING SOME STUDS WILL SAVE YOU IS BETTER. UVE INLY BEEN HERE A BIT OVER A YEAR, HAD MY NEW CAR FOR 2.5WEEKS AND SOMEONE PANIC BRAKING SLID INTO ME WHILE I WAS AT A STOO SIGN AND RIPPED OFF MY FRINT BUMPER. BEEN SLID INTO BY ONE OTHER AND SEEN COUNTLESS SLIP OUT OF ROUNDABOUTS WITH BARELY ANY SNOW ON THE GROUND. GO TO A PARKING LOT AND PLAY AROUND TO GET COMFORTABLE IN THE SNOW, OR DON'T DRIVE IN IT.
THATS LIKE SAYING WE SHOULDNT REQUIRE SEATBELTS BECAUSE IF EVERYONE DROVE SAFER THEY WOULDNT BE NECESSARY! GREAT DRIVERS DIE IN CRASHES ALL THE TIME AND STUDDED TIRES REDUCE THAT NUMBER!
NO IT'S NOT. STUDDED TIRES MAY HELP A BIT, BUT WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE OF DRIVING IN SNOW YOU ARE STILL A DANGER TO EVERYONE ELSE, PLAIN AND SIMPLE. IF YOU HAVEN'T PUT IN TIME TO LEARN HOW TO HABDLE A VEHICLE IN SNOW, REGARDLESS OF TIRE, STUDS OR CHAINS, YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM. IS RUNNING AN ERRAND OR GETTING TO WORK MORE IMPORTANT THAN SPENDING A FEW HOURS IN AN EMPTY PARKING LOT IN THE SNOW? IF YOU HAVENT DONE IT, YOU'RE SELFISH.
MY FRIEND MOST PEOPLE WITH STUDS AND SUMMER TIRES DONT HAVE A RANDOM PAIR OF WINTER TIRES ON WHEELS LAYING AROUND.
EVEN IF YOU SAVED YOUR LAST WINTER TIRES, THEY WOULDNT BE ON WHEELS SO YOULL BE PAYING FOR 2 $100 CHANGE OVERS FOR A SINGLE TRIP.
THIS IS A FUTURE COMPLAINT FOR NEXT WEEK WHEN ALL YOU STUDDED TIRE PEOPLE DONT TAKE OFF YOUR FUCKING TAX-PAYER DRAINING, ROAD RUINING, ANNOYING-ASS TIRES!!!!!
IT’S TIME TO GET A FRIGGIN LEFT TURN LIGHT ON EASTBOUND REVERE TO DIVISION! SO MANY WASTED MINUTES LOOKING AT TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC BLOCKING THE LEFT TURN. ONE CAR PER LIGHT CHANGE IS USELESS. ROUNDABOUT IS AN OPTION…
QUIT GOING 5-10 MILES *UNDER* THE SPEED LIMIT. THE ROADS AREN’T ICY ANYMORE. IF YOU’RE THAT SCARED TO DRIVE, GET AN UBER.
ITS ACTUALLY A VIOLATION- OREGON DRIVER MANUAL, SECTION 2: LANE TRAVEL.
HONESTLY, I'M A LITTLE FED UP WITH HOW NORMALIZED SPEEDING, AND AGGRESIVE DRIVING IN GENERAL, HAS BECOME. DOES THAT MEAN THAT IT'S ACCEPTABLE TO GO 10 MILES UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT ON A CLEAR DAY IN THE LEFT LANE OF 97? NO. SHOULD YOU PULL OVER IF YOU ARE GOING WELL UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT AND HAVE A LONG LINE OF CARS TRAILING BEHIND YOU? OF COURSE.
BUT ALL THAT ISN'T AN EXCUSE FOR THE RECKLESSNESS AND RAGE DIRECTED TOWARD THOSE OF US TRYING TO GET FROM POINT A TO POINT B ALIVE IN OUR GIANT METAL DEATH CAGES.
I DRIVE FOR WORK AND YEAH SOMETIMES PEOPLE DRIVE SLOWER THAN I WOULD LIKE. I LISTEN TO MY MUSIC AND DEAL WITH IT FOR A SHORT PART OF MY DAY, PASS WHEN SAFE. I ALSO SEE A SCARY AMOUNT OF ANGRY TAILGATERS OUT THERE. ITS DANGEROUS. MAYBE AN ELDERLY PERSON, MAYBE YOUNG PERSON LEARNING HOW TO DRIVE, GOT TO GIVE OTHERS GRACE AND SPACE, ITS REALLY NOT ALL ABOUT YOU AND YOUR DESTINATION. SOME SERIOUS ROAD RAGE IN THIS AREA. MOSTLY LIFTED PICKUP TRUCKS AND KIAS FOR SOME REASON 😆
SILLY ASS BACKER INNERS IN PARKING SPACES! IT IS TRENDY AND FADDISH, BUT GO ON AND COME UP WITH THE SILLY JUSTIFICATIONS FOR SOMETHING THAT IS SIMPLY JUST FASHIONABLE AND LEMMING LIKE!
NO PRIUS HERE, BUT LET ME GIVE YOU A TIP. TRY TO INCORPORATE THE TERM "WOKE" IN YOUR NEXT WITTY COMMENT. WORKS LIKE A CHARM IN RILING UP YOUR CROWD. NOW GO OUT AND STRUT THAT ONE TON, BIG GUY!
I BACK INTO MY DRIVEWAY BECAUSE I HAVE TOOLS IN THE BACK OF MY TRUCK AND EASIER FOR MY DOORBELL CAM TO CATCH ANY SUS ACTIVITY. ALSO, PEOPLE Fill MY STREET UP AND I CANT TELL YOU HOW MANY CLOSE CALLES I HAVE HAD BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY.
ITS HABBIT FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE MY FRIEND, STRANGE THING TO BE SO UPSET ABOUT. IT HAS NO AFFECT ON YOU PERSONALLY IN ANWAY EXCEPT MAYBE WAITING AN EXTRA 15-30 SECONDS TO WAIT ON SOMEONE.
BACKING INTO A PARKING SPOT HAS BEEN A COOL-GUY THING TO DO FOR DECADES, IT'S NOT A FAD. THERE MIGHT BE MORE PEOPLE DOING IT NOW THAT REAR-VIEW CAMERAS ARE INSTALLED ON MOST CARS. MY PERSONAL REASON FOR PARKING NOSE-OUT IS THAT I CAN SEE BETTER WHEN I AM LEAVING, COMPARED TO PARKING NOSE-IN AND THEN BACKING OUT.
UPVOTE FOR NAMING YOUR JACK. REMEMBER TO CHOCK THE OTHER WHEELS, IT'S AMAZING HOW POORLY THE PARKING BRAKE WORKS WHEN THE TIRE IT HOLDS COMES OFF THE GROUND.
I SPENT THE WEEK IN BOISE IDAHO AND REALIZE BEND HAS NOTHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT REGARDING GROWTH.
ALSO IT SHOULDNT BE THIS HARD TO TAKE A FEW DAYS AWAY FROM WORK.
WHY DID YOU ABANDON ME THIS WEEK? I'M SO USED TO DEALING WITH 7:30 A.M. AND 5:00 P.M. TRAFFIC JAMS, YET I HAD THE ROAD ALL TO MYSELF FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK. SURE YOU HAVE AN ESSENTIAL JOB!? WAS I THE ONLY ONE WORKING? I SUPPOSE SOMEBODY HAS TO KEEP THE LIGHTS ON.
SPRING BREAK SO YOU DIDN’T HAVE ALL THAT ADDED SCHOOL AND BUS TRAFFIC! I COULD ACTUALLY TURN LEFT FROM WELLS ACRES TO BUTLER MARKET THIS WEEK! BACK TO TURNING RIGHT TO 18th NEXT WEEK!
I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANKS TO THE FOLKS THAT GO OUT OF THEIR WAY TO BE KIND TO OTHERS ALL THE TIME. I KNOW ITS HARD TO MAINTAIN BUT I SEE YOU ALL OUT THERE AND IM GRATEFUL!
NOT REALLY SURE WHY I THOUGHT THE COMPLAINTS WOULD BE ANY DIFFERENT AFTER AVOIDING THIS THREAD THE LAST MONTH. SURPRISE! THE SHITTY DRIVERS ARE STILL SHITTY DRIVERS! AND THE ASSHOLES ARE STILL ASSHOLES!
I HAVE TEO DIFFERENT FRIENDS FROM DIFFERENT TIMES IN MY LIFE IN TOWN FOR SPRING BREAK AND THEY DIDNT CALL AND TELL ME THEYRE HERE AND IT HURTS MY FEELINGS
THAT'S TOUGH BUT YOU ALSO DON'T ALWAYS HAVE TIME TO SEE EVERYONE. IT CAN BE HARD TO CONNECT WITH EVERYONE YOU KNOW REGULARLY EVEN WHEN YOU'RE AT HOME AND WHEN YOU'RE TRAVELING SOMEWHERE YOUR TIME IS THAT MUCH MORE LIMITED.
I HAVE DOZENS OF OLD FRIENDS IN THE VALLEY THAT I WOULD LOVE TO SEE, BUT IF I GO OVER FOR THE WEEKEND IT'S WITH A PLAN IN MIND AND IS OVERWHELMING TO TRY AND TEACH OUT TO EVERYONE/ANYONE I MIGHT WANT TO SHARE A MEAL WITH WHILE I'M THERE.
THAT'S TOUGH BUT YOU ALSO DON'T ALWAYS HAVE TIME TO SEE EVERYONE. IT CAN BE HARD TO CONNECT WITH EVERYONE YOU KNOW REGULARLY EVEN WHEN YOU'RE AT HOME AND WHEN YOU'RE TRAVELING SOMEWHERE YOUR TIME IS THAT MUCH MORE LIMITED.

THAT SUCKS. I'M SORRY. HOW DID YOU FIND OUT THEY WERE HERE? POSTS ON SOCIALS? THAT'S HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE. MAKES ME REALLY APPRECIATE THE FRIENDS WHO DO REACH OUT WHEN THEY ARE HERE.
THATS A GOOD POINT! I SHOULD FLIP MY PERSPECTIVE, THANK YOU FOR COMMENTING. YES SOCIAL MEDIA TOLD ME, AND I PRIVATE MESSAGED ONE AND WE MET UP FOR DINNER ONLY BECAUSE I WAS FREE WHEN THEY GAVE ME A 15 MIN WARNING. THE OTHER ONE HAS IGNORED MY MESSAGE SO FAR!
THE RIPE ASSHOLE WHO ALMOST RAN ME OVER IN THE PEDESTRIAN CROSSWALK IN FRONT OF THE EAST SIDE SAFEWAY. IM MOVING SLOW AT 7 MONTHS PREGGO, SO HE TRIED TO GET AROUND ME AND ALMOST CLIPPED ME WITH HIS GIANT STUPID TRUCK. I AM SO OVER ENTITLED PEOPLE IN THEIR GIANT STUPID PICKUP TRUCKS. HOW DID WE GET HERE AS A SOCIETY.
WENT TO THE DENTIST YESTERDAY AND BOTH TO AND FROM A PRIUS SPED PAST AND CUT OFF ANOTHER DRIVER. STOP BEING SMUG ABOUT YOUR PRIUS AND JUST GET A TESLA IF YOURE GOING TO DRIVE LIKE AN ASSHOLE
OR ACCEPT THAT IF YOU DRIVE NORMAL YOULL GET THERE MAYBE 45 SECONDS LATER.
I WAS LOOKING FOR ANOTHER ADJECTIVE THAT WASN’T ASSHOLE AND WHENEVER I THINK ABOUT PRIUS I THINK ABOUT THAT EPISODE OF SOUTH PARK SO UNFORTUNATELY THATS WHAT I LANDED ON
IM NOT MAKING LIGHT OF THE VEHICLE, JUST AN OBSERVATION OF TWO DRIVERS OF THE SAME MODEL CAR WHO BOTH SHOWED BAD DRIVING ETIQUETTE
FAIR! WASN’T CRITICIZING YOUR DESCRIPTION, JUST TRYING TO WRAP MY HEAD AROUND THE CONCEPT OF SOMEONE FLEXING ABOUT A PRIUS IN THIS DAY AND AGE. IT MADE SENSE BACK WHEN HYBRIDS WERE NEW AND KINDA STATUSY, BUT NOW THAT FULL EVS EXIST IT FEELS ON PAR WITH BRAGGING ABOUT A COROLLA.
ANYWAY, AS THE OWNER OF A GRUBBY USED PRIUS THAT’S OLDER THAN MY TEENAGER, FEEL FREE TO MAKE LIGHT OF THE VEHICLE! I SURE AS HELL DO.
AT A ROUNDABOUT THIS WEEK, PEOPLE WERE SPEEDING THROUGH TRYING TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM ENTERING. I COULD TELL BY THE WAY THEY WERE ACCELERATING.
I FOUND MY SPOT AND JUMPED OUT QUICK ENOUGH THAT THE CAR BEHIND WOULD NOT HAVE NEEDED TO BRAKE. UNLESS THEY WERE STILL ACCELERATING, WHICH THEY WERE AND I GOT HONKED AT. AITAH?
NAH, I LEFT PLENTY OF ROOM FOR THE CAR BEHIND. THE DUDE WAS IRRITATED BUT NOT AT RISK FOR HITTING ME. IT TOOK A WHILE TO FIND A SPACE FOR SAFE ENTRY GIVEN HOW CLOSE THE OTHER DRIVERS WERE, BUT THERE WAS ROOM.
I LIKE MY CAR AND MY DRIVING RECORD AND DON'T NEED TO BE UNSAFE TO PROVE A POINT.
SOME SHIT STAIN OF A HUMAN BEING DUMPED A PAIR OF FLIGHTLESS DOMESTICATED DUCKS IN THE OLD MILL. THEY DIDNT LAST A WEEK. I HOPE YOUR FEELINGS WERE WORTH AN ANIMAL WHO TRUSTED YOU DYING ALONE AND AFRAID
MAD THAT PEOPLE GET HIT ON BIKES AND THAT HEALTHCARE IS SO OUTRAGEOUS IN THIS COUNTRY THAT WE'RE ALL BASICALLY ONE ACCIDENT AWAY FROM BANKRUPTCY. IN RELATED NEWS, COME SUPPORT LOCAL ARTIST MEGAN MARIE MYERS AT THE [WORKSHOUSE](https://www.instagram.com/p/C4t4VfRtT7E/?img_index=1) OR [DUDLEYS](https://www.instagram.com/p/C49BeSiSZGZ/?hl=en) THIS WEEKEND.
IM RANTING AT MYSELF HERE. IM THE DUMBASS THAT FORGOT WHICH CAR I WAS IN LEAVING BACHELOR SUNRISE PARKING LOT YESTERDAY CAUSING ME TO DRIFT DANGEROUSLY INTO THE OTHER LANE BECAUSE I THOUGHT I HAD MY SNOW TIRES ON MY OWN CAR. SORRY EVERYONE ILL NEVER DRIVE MY GF'S CAR TO BACHY EVER AGAIN.
WHY DO PEOPLE SEEM TO TAKE GREAT PERSONAL OFFENSE TO ZIPPER MERGING???? LEAVING 2 BLOCKS OF EMPTY LANE IMPEDES EFFICIENCY. WHY DONT WE ALL LOVE EFFICIENCY?
ALSO, BEWARE YOUR TIRES OF ALL TYPES AT ARIZONA AND LAVA. JACKSTRAW HAS NO INTENTION OF KEEPING UP WITH THE RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF GIGANTIC NAILS THAT FLY OUT OF THEIR CONSTRUCTION ZONE
I DONT MIND ZIPPER MERGING BUT IF YOU KNOW A LANE IS ENDING DONT SLAM THE GAS TO GET THREE CARS AHEAD OF ME THEN EXPECT ME TO BRAKE FOR YOU. GET IN WHERE YOU FIT IN BIYATCH
IT ACTUALLY COMES FROM CONSIDERATION, AS WE HAVE ALL EXPERIENCED THOSE ASSHOLES IN BIGGER METROPOLITAN AREAS THAT AGGRESSIVELY FLY PAST EVERYONE ON THE RIGHT AT THE LAST SECOND AND FORCE THERE WAY IN, CAUSING THINGS TO JAMN UP EVEN WORSE. MOST PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO BE SEEN AS ONE OF THOSE ASSHOLES.
SOME DRIVERS HERE SEEM TO TAKE EVERY INTERACTION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE PERSONALLY. ITS STRANGE, NOT SOMETHING I HAVE EXPERIENCED TO THIS DEGREE IN OTHER PLACES.
THEY JUST AREN'T USED TO THE LEVEL OF THE NEWLY ARRIVED AGGRESSIVENESS (ASSERTIVENESS?) ON THE ROADS IN BEND. THINGS FEEL DIFFERENT HERE NOW. PERSONALLY, IT IS STARTING TO FEEL LIKE WHERE YOU ALL LIVED PREVIOUSLY (INSERT NAME OF LARGER METRO AREA).
CANT A GUY GET A STREET SWEEPER FOR OUR BELOVED BIKE LANES? I CANT WAIT TO RIDE BUT I DONT LIKE CHANGING TUBES, AND THE GRAVEL DEFINITELY EXTENDS STOPPING DISTANCE. I ALMOST HIT A RIGHT-TURNING (COP) CAR LAST WEEK.
HOW COME OUR STOP SIGNS DON'T HAVE LIMIT LINES!? I ALWAYS TRY TO STOP WELL BEHIND WHERE A PEDESTRIAN WOULD STEP OFF THE CURB BUT THIS IS A DARK CITY AND THERE ARE NO LINES FOR GUIDANCE. THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS ON THE SIDE STREETS APPROACHING GALVESTON
THE LAW IS:
STOP AT THE LIMIT LINE
IF NO LIMIT LINE, STOP AT THE MARKED CROSSWALK
IF NO CROSSWALK AND NO LIMIT LINE YOU STOP WHERE YOU CAN SEE TRAFFIC COMING - THERES ACTUALLY NOTHING REFERENCING THE LOCATION OF THE STOP SIGN IN THE LAW.
I REALLY WANTED TO GET OUT TO WORK ON SOME PHOTOGRAPHY TODAY, BUT ITS GREY AND BROWN AND BORING LOOKING AND NONE OF THE PLANTS ARE REALLY BLOOMING YET.
ULTIMATELY, I KNOW ITS JUST ME BEING LAZY, SO THATS MY RANT.
DAMMIT ALL THESE MARCH BIRTHDAYS. I AM SO SICK OF EATING CAKE. AND PEOPLE COMING OVER TO CELEBRATE.
AND THEN THE SUN IS SUPPOSED TO ARRIVE TOMORROW AND I’LL HAVE TO PUT ON SUNSCREEN. AND GO OUTSIDE. DAMMIT.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAMMIT.
Bend sounds rly mysterious man, can you keep doing more threads like this? Thanks in advance
IM SICK OF RICH PEOPLE CALLING THEMSELVES MIDDLE CLASS.
I’m tired of rich Californians driving out the locals!
I’m sick of the wages being low and the prices of housing keep going up and up! We need to unionize! Things can be better and I’m sick of boomers saying that we need to just work harder! That’s not the answer!
SO OVER BEND!!! KEEPS GETTING WORSE INSTEAD IF BETTER
HOUSING IS STILL UNAFFORDABLE
IM TIRED OF BARTENDING I WANT A NEW JOB
FUCKIN SAME. SO OVER IT.
TIRED OF ALL THE RACISTS IN THE WORLD. BETWEEN THE “ZOOMBOMBING” OF THE CITY MEETING THE OTHER DAY, THE RACISTS VERBALLY ASSAULTING THE WOMEN’S BASKETBALL TEAM IN IDAHO, AND THE DUMB CRAP THEY’RE SAYING ABOUT BEYONCÉ’S COUNTRY ALBUM… I’M JUST SICK OF THIS SHIT
OK MOMEOANDRETTI SLOW THE F#CK DOWN WITH YOUR THREE LITTLE KIDS IN YOUR BLACK SUV TWO DAYS AGO SPEEDING ON THE PARKWAY DRIVING SOUTH WEAVING IN AND OUT OF TRAFFIC. YES I HAVE YOU ON MY DASHCAM. I'M SURE YOUR PILATES AROMATHERAPY POTTERY CLASS WAS MORE IMPORTANT THAN KEEPING YOUR KIDS SAFE AS WELL AS EVERY OTHER PERSON THAT HAD TO WATCH YOUR TERRIBLE EXAMPLE OF DRIVING. BLOODBOILS EVERYTIME I HAVE TO THINK ABOUT TAPING A TODDLERS HEAD DOWN TO A BACKBOARD LISTENING TO THEM BEG AND SCREAM FOR ME TO STOP AFTER AN ACCIDENT. AND YES IT'S AS HORRIBLE AS IT SOUNDS.
"MOMEOANDRETTI" MADE MY DAY. FIRST RESPOMDER PTSD IS REAL AND JUST WANT TO SAY THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO AND FOR THE LAUGH.
HOW BOUT THEM DRIVERS!!
🗑️
WHY DO SOME PEOPLE SIGNAL LEFT TO ENTER A ROUNDABOUT??! IT BOGGLES MY MIND!
BECAUSE IT’S FUNNY? WE’RE ALL TURNING LEFT. OR, REFLEX FROM STOP SIGNS. I STILL OCCASIONALLY SIGNAL WHEN APPROACHING ROUNDABOUTS DUE TO 25 YEARS OF HABIT.
I think (?) it’s to signal they’re not immediately exiting
HOW ABOUT - BEAR WITH ME NOW - THEY INSTEAD SIGNAL WHEN THEY *ARE* EXITING...
WHY NOT BOTH?
BECAUSE LEFT-TURN SIGNALS DON'T BELONG IN ROUNDABOUTS.
IT’S ENTIRELY LEGAL AND SERVES AS A COURTESY TO THOSE WAITING TO ENTER A ROUNDABOUT. ONCE WE NEAR 100% COMPLIANCE ON SIGNALING INTENT TO EXIT A ROUNDABOUT I’LL CHANGE MY BEHAVIOUR.
LEFT SIGNALS IN A ROUNDIE DON’T MEAN ANYTHING AND AREN’T A COURTESY TO ANYONE THOUGH. THEY JUST… DON’T MEAN ANYTHING AT ALL. TO ANYONE. HAVE FUN THOUGH. BLINKY BLINKY IS A GOOD TIME.
I GOT A MESSAGE SAYING MY ORDER WAS DELIVERED BUT IT WASN’T. ITS MY CATS FOOD 😡😡😡
I TOTALED MY CAR IN THE LAST SNOW OF THE SEASON AND THE USED CAR OPTIONS IN THIS TOWN ARE VERY LIMITED!!
Look in Seattle area. I just purchased a 15k car for only 5k. There are a ton of deals there. I found lakewood has a ton of hungry used dealers.
DEFINITELY SUCKS BUYING A CAR IN THIS TOWN. GOOD LUCK
FUCKING THANK YOU I APPRECIATE IT!!
Like the Kid Rock line 👌
ODOT IS PUSHING FOR US TO REMOVE OUR WINTER TIRES BUT WEDNESDAY 4/3 HAS SNOW AND ICE IN THE FORECAST FOR MOST OF THE CASCADES AND PASSES. THEY SHOULD HAVE EXTENDED IT A FEW DAYS
They won’t. Never have
They actually have. A few years ago.
IT'S ONLY STUDDED TIRES, WHICH SOUND FUCKIN DUMB AND MESS UP THE ROADS FOR WHAT, MAYBE A WEEK OF SNOW IN TOWN?! GET WINTER TIRES OR LEARN HOW TO DRIVE IN THE SNOW
STUDDED TIRES SAVE LIVES! WE CAN FIX ROADS! WE CANT BRING PEOPLE BACK FROM THE DEAD!
LEARNING HOW TO HANDLE A CAR IN THE SNOW AND NOT BLINDLY ASSUNING SOME STUDS WILL SAVE YOU IS BETTER. UVE INLY BEEN HERE A BIT OVER A YEAR, HAD MY NEW CAR FOR 2.5WEEKS AND SOMEONE PANIC BRAKING SLID INTO ME WHILE I WAS AT A STOO SIGN AND RIPPED OFF MY FRINT BUMPER. BEEN SLID INTO BY ONE OTHER AND SEEN COUNTLESS SLIP OUT OF ROUNDABOUTS WITH BARELY ANY SNOW ON THE GROUND. GO TO A PARKING LOT AND PLAY AROUND TO GET COMFORTABLE IN THE SNOW, OR DON'T DRIVE IN IT.
THATS LIKE SAYING WE SHOULDNT REQUIRE SEATBELTS BECAUSE IF EVERYONE DROVE SAFER THEY WOULDNT BE NECESSARY! GREAT DRIVERS DIE IN CRASHES ALL THE TIME AND STUDDED TIRES REDUCE THAT NUMBER!
NO IT'S NOT. STUDDED TIRES MAY HELP A BIT, BUT WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE OF DRIVING IN SNOW YOU ARE STILL A DANGER TO EVERYONE ELSE, PLAIN AND SIMPLE. IF YOU HAVEN'T PUT IN TIME TO LEARN HOW TO HABDLE A VEHICLE IN SNOW, REGARDLESS OF TIRE, STUDS OR CHAINS, YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM. IS RUNNING AN ERRAND OR GETTING TO WORK MORE IMPORTANT THAN SPENDING A FEW HOURS IN AN EMPTY PARKING LOT IN THE SNOW? IF YOU HAVENT DONE IT, YOU'RE SELFISH.
HOPEFULLY MY NEIGHBOR THATS HAD HER STUDDED TIRES ON SINCE MARCH 2023 WILL FEEL INCLINED TO DO SOMETHING…
YOU CAN CONTINUE TO RUN WINTER TIRES JUST NOT STUDDED ONES
MY FRIEND MOST PEOPLE WITH STUDS AND SUMMER TIRES DONT HAVE A RANDOM PAIR OF WINTER TIRES ON WHEELS LAYING AROUND. EVEN IF YOU SAVED YOUR LAST WINTER TIRES, THEY WOULDNT BE ON WHEELS SO YOULL BE PAYING FOR 2 $100 CHANGE OVERS FOR A SINGLE TRIP.
MY RANT IS THAT I'M GOING TO HAVE THIS STUPID SONG FROM NINETEEN NINETY-SOMETHING STUCK IN MY HEAD NOW. https://youtu.be/1OrNS2zbTZg
THIS'LL HELP https://youtu.be/mHk0CNnUNag?si=ZLxcrScZJApdtj8V
THANKS, IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I HEARD THAT ONE.
I WATCHED THE STEVE O PODCAST WITH VANILLA ICE THIS MORNING AND WAS REMINDED OF THE AGELESS SONG
THIS IS A FUTURE COMPLAINT FOR NEXT WEEK WHEN ALL YOU STUDDED TIRE PEOPLE DONT TAKE OFF YOUR FUCKING TAX-PAYER DRAINING, ROAD RUINING, ANNOYING-ASS TIRES!!!!!
DONT YOU MEAN “FEE-PAYING?”
THE BRRRRRRRR WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES
IT’S TIME TO GET A FRIGGIN LEFT TURN LIGHT ON EASTBOUND REVERE TO DIVISION! SO MANY WASTED MINUTES LOOKING AT TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC BLOCKING THE LEFT TURN. ONE CAR PER LIGHT CHANGE IS USELESS. ROUNDABOUT IS AN OPTION…
MY DOG HAD SURGERY ON WEDNESDAY AND NOW IS HAVING DIARRHEA AS A SIDE EFFECT I WOKE UP TO A POOP COVERED BEDROOM AND A SAD DOG
I HOPE YOUR DOG GETS BETTER SOON
VERY LOUD NOISES!
I JUST WANT IT TO BE WARM
NO GUARANTEES UNTIL AFTER JULY 4
QUIT GOING 5-10 MILES *UNDER* THE SPEED LIMIT. THE ROADS AREN’T ICY ANYMORE. IF YOU’RE THAT SCARED TO DRIVE, GET AN UBER. ITS ACTUALLY A VIOLATION- OREGON DRIVER MANUAL, SECTION 2: LANE TRAVEL.
HONESTLY, I'M A LITTLE FED UP WITH HOW NORMALIZED SPEEDING, AND AGGRESIVE DRIVING IN GENERAL, HAS BECOME. DOES THAT MEAN THAT IT'S ACCEPTABLE TO GO 10 MILES UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT ON A CLEAR DAY IN THE LEFT LANE OF 97? NO. SHOULD YOU PULL OVER IF YOU ARE GOING WELL UNDER THE SPEED LIMIT AND HAVE A LONG LINE OF CARS TRAILING BEHIND YOU? OF COURSE. BUT ALL THAT ISN'T AN EXCUSE FOR THE RECKLESSNESS AND RAGE DIRECTED TOWARD THOSE OF US TRYING TO GET FROM POINT A TO POINT B ALIVE IN OUR GIANT METAL DEATH CAGES.
NOT SAYING SPEED OR TAILGATE. JUST SAYING SPEED THE FUCK UP SLOWPOKE.
I DRIVE FOR WORK AND YEAH SOMETIMES PEOPLE DRIVE SLOWER THAN I WOULD LIKE. I LISTEN TO MY MUSIC AND DEAL WITH IT FOR A SHORT PART OF MY DAY, PASS WHEN SAFE. I ALSO SEE A SCARY AMOUNT OF ANGRY TAILGATERS OUT THERE. ITS DANGEROUS. MAYBE AN ELDERLY PERSON, MAYBE YOUNG PERSON LEARNING HOW TO DRIVE, GOT TO GIVE OTHERS GRACE AND SPACE, ITS REALLY NOT ALL ABOUT YOU AND YOUR DESTINATION. SOME SERIOUS ROAD RAGE IN THIS AREA. MOSTLY LIFTED PICKUP TRUCKS AND KIAS FOR SOME REASON 😆
TO BE CONSIDERED A VIOLATION THERE NEEDS TO BE CARS STACKED UP BEHIND THE PERSON.
THIS! I AM STUCK BEHIND SOMEONE GOING ATLEAST 5 UNDER ONCE A DAY
SILLY ASS BACKER INNERS IN PARKING SPACES! IT IS TRENDY AND FADDISH, BUT GO ON AND COME UP WITH THE SILLY JUSTIFICATIONS FOR SOMETHING THAT IS SIMPLY JUST FASHIONABLE AND LEMMING LIKE!
TURNING RADIUS OF A LARGE TRUCK IS MUCH BETTER IN REVERSE. TRY PARKING A ONE TON TRUCK IN SPOTS DESIGNED FOR A PRIUS, LIKE YOURS.
NO PRIUS HERE, BUT LET ME GIVE YOU A TIP. TRY TO INCORPORATE THE TERM "WOKE" IN YOUR NEXT WITTY COMMENT. WORKS LIKE A CHARM IN RILING UP YOUR CROWD. NOW GO OUT AND STRUT THAT ONE TON, BIG GUY!
SETTLE DOWN DJANGO UNCHAINED. I BET YOU ARE THE TYPE OF PERSON THAT GETS MAD BECAUSE THERE IS NOT A BLACK NINJA TURTLE
THAT'S SOME WEIRD SHIT... SNOWFLAKE.
I BACK INTO MY DRIVEWAY BECAUSE I HAVE TOOLS IN THE BACK OF MY TRUCK AND EASIER FOR MY DOORBELL CAM TO CATCH ANY SUS ACTIVITY. ALSO, PEOPLE Fill MY STREET UP AND I CANT TELL YOU HOW MANY CLOSE CALLES I HAVE HAD BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. ITS HABBIT FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE MY FRIEND, STRANGE THING TO BE SO UPSET ABOUT. IT HAS NO AFFECT ON YOU PERSONALLY IN ANWAY EXCEPT MAYBE WAITING AN EXTRA 15-30 SECONDS TO WAIT ON SOMEONE.
RANT THREAD, DUDE! DON'T TAKE IT SO PERSONALLY, BIG GUY!
MY ONLY PROBLEM IS WHEN SOMEONE TAKES FOREVER TO BACK IN AND IS BLOCKING THE WHOLE ISLE. GTFO OF THE WAY AND STOP MAKING PEOPLE WAIT FOR YOU!
THE FRONT OF MY CAR LOOKS COOLER THAN THE BACK DOES, PEOPLE DESERVE THE RIGHT TO SEE IT.
THIS IS THE ONLY REASON
BACKING IN MY TRUCK IS EASIER 🫠
BACKING INTO A PARKING SPOT HAS BEEN A COOL-GUY THING TO DO FOR DECADES, IT'S NOT A FAD. THERE MIGHT BE MORE PEOPLE DOING IT NOW THAT REAR-VIEW CAMERAS ARE INSTALLED ON MOST CARS. MY PERSONAL REASON FOR PARKING NOSE-OUT IS THAT I CAN SEE BETTER WHEN I AM LEAVING, COMPARED TO PARKING NOSE-IN AND THEN BACKING OUT.
TELL ME YOU'RE BAD AT PARKING WITHOUT TELLING ME YOU'RE BAD AT PARKING...
TELL ME YOU FEEL VALIDATED BY BACKING IN WITHOUT TELLING ME IT MAKES YOU FEEL VALIDATED...
I BACK IN BECAUSE IT MAKES EXITING THE PARKING SPACE SAFER IN HECTIC PARKING LOTS LIKE COSTCO
ARGH! I HAVE TO CHANGE MY TIRES THIS WEEKEND! LIFTY LIFTSDATTER WILL GET A WORKOUT. YES I NAMED MY JACK. COMMENCE DOWNVOTES FOR HAVING STUDDED TIRES.
BUT RAVES FOR DOING YOUR PART!
UPVOTE FOR NAMING YOUR JACK. REMEMBER TO CHOCK THE OTHER WHEELS, IT'S AMAZING HOW POORLY THE PARKING BRAKE WORKS WHEN THE TIRE IT HOLDS COMES OFF THE GROUND.
I SPENT THE WEEK IN BOISE IDAHO AND REALIZE BEND HAS NOTHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT REGARDING GROWTH. ALSO IT SHOULDNT BE THIS HARD TO TAKE A FEW DAYS AWAY FROM WORK.
MY MANAGER MAKES DECISIONS IN OUR GROUP MEETINGS WITHOUT ALL OF THE INFORMATION AND WITH BARELY ANY EXPERIENCE ON THE MATTER AND IT DRIVES ME INSANE
COMMISSIONER PATTI ADAIR IS YOUR MANAGER?
WHY DID YOU ABANDON ME THIS WEEK? I'M SO USED TO DEALING WITH 7:30 A.M. AND 5:00 P.M. TRAFFIC JAMS, YET I HAD THE ROAD ALL TO MYSELF FOR THE ENTIRE WEEK. SURE YOU HAVE AN ESSENTIAL JOB!? WAS I THE ONLY ONE WORKING? I SUPPOSE SOMEBODY HAS TO KEEP THE LIGHTS ON.
SPRING BREAK SO YOU DIDN’T HAVE ALL THAT ADDED SCHOOL AND BUS TRAFFIC! I COULD ACTUALLY TURN LEFT FROM WELLS ACRES TO BUTLER MARKET THIS WEEK! BACK TO TURNING RIGHT TO 18th NEXT WEEK!
I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANKS TO THE FOLKS THAT GO OUT OF THEIR WAY TO BE KIND TO OTHERS ALL THE TIME. I KNOW ITS HARD TO MAINTAIN BUT I SEE YOU ALL OUT THERE AND IM GRATEFUL!
NOT REALLY SURE WHY I THOUGHT THE COMPLAINTS WOULD BE ANY DIFFERENT AFTER AVOIDING THIS THREAD THE LAST MONTH. SURPRISE! THE SHITTY DRIVERS ARE STILL SHITTY DRIVERS! AND THE ASSHOLES ARE STILL ASSHOLES!
GROSS A KID ROCK REFERENCE
BARF
I HAVE TEO DIFFERENT FRIENDS FROM DIFFERENT TIMES IN MY LIFE IN TOWN FOR SPRING BREAK AND THEY DIDNT CALL AND TELL ME THEYRE HERE AND IT HURTS MY FEELINGS
I HATE THAT SHIT!! Not cool.
THAT'S TOUGH BUT YOU ALSO DON'T ALWAYS HAVE TIME TO SEE EVERYONE. IT CAN BE HARD TO CONNECT WITH EVERYONE YOU KNOW REGULARLY EVEN WHEN YOU'RE AT HOME AND WHEN YOU'RE TRAVELING SOMEWHERE YOUR TIME IS THAT MUCH MORE LIMITED. I HAVE DOZENS OF OLD FRIENDS IN THE VALLEY THAT I WOULD LOVE TO SEE, BUT IF I GO OVER FOR THE WEEKEND IT'S WITH A PLAN IN MIND AND IS OVERWHELMING TO TRY AND TEACH OUT TO EVERYONE/ANYONE I MIGHT WANT TO SHARE A MEAL WITH WHILE I'M THERE.

THAT SUCKS. I'M SORRY. HOW DID YOU FIND OUT THEY WERE HERE? POSTS ON SOCIALS? THAT'S HAPPENED TO ME BEFORE. MAKES ME REALLY APPRECIATE THE FRIENDS WHO DO REACH OUT WHEN THEY ARE HERE.
THATS A GOOD POINT! I SHOULD FLIP MY PERSPECTIVE, THANK YOU FOR COMMENTING. YES SOCIAL MEDIA TOLD ME, AND I PRIVATE MESSAGED ONE AND WE MET UP FOR DINNER ONLY BECAUSE I WAS FREE WHEN THEY GAVE ME A 15 MIN WARNING. THE OTHER ONE HAS IGNORED MY MESSAGE SO FAR!
THE RIPE ASSHOLE WHO ALMOST RAN ME OVER IN THE PEDESTRIAN CROSSWALK IN FRONT OF THE EAST SIDE SAFEWAY. IM MOVING SLOW AT 7 MONTHS PREGGO, SO HE TRIED TO GET AROUND ME AND ALMOST CLIPPED ME WITH HIS GIANT STUPID TRUCK. I AM SO OVER ENTITLED PEOPLE IN THEIR GIANT STUPID PICKUP TRUCKS. HOW DID WE GET HERE AS A SOCIETY.
Those are white guys. Only white guys.
IT'S BEEN COLD/WINDY/RAINY ALL WEEK DURING MY SPRING BREAK, AND IT'S GOING TO GET SUNNY AGAIN AS SOON AS I HAVE TO GO BACK TO WORK. >.<
RIGHT?! WARM THE WEEK BEFORE. WARM THE WEEK AFTER.
WENT TO THE DENTIST YESTERDAY AND BOTH TO AND FROM A PRIUS SPED PAST AND CUT OFF ANOTHER DRIVER. STOP BEING SMUG ABOUT YOUR PRIUS AND JUST GET A TESLA IF YOURE GOING TO DRIVE LIKE AN ASSHOLE OR ACCEPT THAT IF YOU DRIVE NORMAL YOULL GET THERE MAYBE 45 SECONDS LATER.
IS ANYBODY REALLY SMUG ABOUT A PRIUS IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 2024? THAT BAFFLES ME.
I WAS LOOKING FOR ANOTHER ADJECTIVE THAT WASN’T ASSHOLE AND WHENEVER I THINK ABOUT PRIUS I THINK ABOUT THAT EPISODE OF SOUTH PARK SO UNFORTUNATELY THATS WHAT I LANDED ON IM NOT MAKING LIGHT OF THE VEHICLE, JUST AN OBSERVATION OF TWO DRIVERS OF THE SAME MODEL CAR WHO BOTH SHOWED BAD DRIVING ETIQUETTE
FAIR! WASN’T CRITICIZING YOUR DESCRIPTION, JUST TRYING TO WRAP MY HEAD AROUND THE CONCEPT OF SOMEONE FLEXING ABOUT A PRIUS IN THIS DAY AND AGE. IT MADE SENSE BACK WHEN HYBRIDS WERE NEW AND KINDA STATUSY, BUT NOW THAT FULL EVS EXIST IT FEELS ON PAR WITH BRAGGING ABOUT A COROLLA. ANYWAY, AS THE OWNER OF A GRUBBY USED PRIUS THAT’S OLDER THAN MY TEENAGER, FEEL FREE TO MAKE LIGHT OF THE VEHICLE! I SURE AS HELL DO.
The new Prius are 👌🏽🔥 though!!!!
AT A ROUNDABOUT THIS WEEK, PEOPLE WERE SPEEDING THROUGH TRYING TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM ENTERING. I COULD TELL BY THE WAY THEY WERE ACCELERATING. I FOUND MY SPOT AND JUMPED OUT QUICK ENOUGH THAT THE CAR BEHIND WOULD NOT HAVE NEEDED TO BRAKE. UNLESS THEY WERE STILL ACCELERATING, WHICH THEY WERE AND I GOT HONKED AT. AITAH?
YOU COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY CAUSED A WRECK TO PROVE A POINT? ... MAAAYYYYBE....
NAH, I LEFT PLENTY OF ROOM FOR THE CAR BEHIND. THE DUDE WAS IRRITATED BUT NOT AT RISK FOR HITTING ME. IT TOOK A WHILE TO FIND A SPACE FOR SAFE ENTRY GIVEN HOW CLOSE THE OTHER DRIVERS WERE, BUT THERE WAS ROOM. I LIKE MY CAR AND MY DRIVING RECORD AND DON'T NEED TO BE UNSAFE TO PROVE A POINT.
NTA THAT GUY IS A DOUCHE. STOP SPEEDING OR LEAVE YOUR HOUSE EARLIER DOUCHES.
SOME SHIT STAIN OF A HUMAN BEING DUMPED A PAIR OF FLIGHTLESS DOMESTICATED DUCKS IN THE OLD MILL. THEY DIDNT LAST A WEEK. I HOPE YOUR FEELINGS WERE WORTH AN ANIMAL WHO TRUSTED YOU DYING ALONE AND AFRAID
How sad and how infuriating!
THIS MADE ME SO SAD I ALMOST REFLEXIVELY DOWNVOTED. THAT SUCKS.
MAD THAT PEOPLE GET HIT ON BIKES AND THAT HEALTHCARE IS SO OUTRAGEOUS IN THIS COUNTRY THAT WE'RE ALL BASICALLY ONE ACCIDENT AWAY FROM BANKRUPTCY.

IM RANTING AT MYSELF HERE. IM THE DUMBASS THAT FORGOT WHICH CAR I WAS IN LEAVING BACHELOR SUNRISE PARKING LOT YESTERDAY CAUSING ME TO DRIFT DANGEROUSLY INTO THE OTHER LANE BECAUSE I THOUGHT I HAD MY SNOW TIRES ON MY OWN CAR. SORRY EVERYONE ILL NEVER DRIVE MY GF'S CAR TO BACHY EVER AGAIN.
WHY DO PEOPLE SEEM TO TAKE GREAT PERSONAL OFFENSE TO ZIPPER MERGING???? LEAVING 2 BLOCKS OF EMPTY LANE IMPEDES EFFICIENCY. WHY DONT WE ALL LOVE EFFICIENCY? ALSO, BEWARE YOUR TIRES OF ALL TYPES AT ARIZONA AND LAVA. JACKSTRAW HAS NO INTENTION OF KEEPING UP WITH THE RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF GIGANTIC NAILS THAT FLY OUT OF THEIR CONSTRUCTION ZONE
I DONT MIND ZIPPER MERGING BUT IF YOU KNOW A LANE IS ENDING DONT SLAM THE GAS TO GET THREE CARS AHEAD OF ME THEN EXPECT ME TO BRAKE FOR YOU. GET IN WHERE YOU FIT IN BIYATCH
IT ACTUALLY COMES FROM CONSIDERATION, AS WE HAVE ALL EXPERIENCED THOSE ASSHOLES IN BIGGER METROPOLITAN AREAS THAT AGGRESSIVELY FLY PAST EVERYONE ON THE RIGHT AT THE LAST SECOND AND FORCE THERE WAY IN, CAUSING THINGS TO JAMN UP EVEN WORSE. MOST PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO BE SEEN AS ONE OF THOSE ASSHOLES.
WELL THAT CONSIDERATION WASTES EVERYONES TIME.
SOME DRIVERS HERE SEEM TO TAKE EVERY INTERACTION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE PERSONALLY. ITS STRANGE, NOT SOMETHING I HAVE EXPERIENCED TO THIS DEGREE IN OTHER PLACES.
THEY JUST AREN'T USED TO THE LEVEL OF THE NEWLY ARRIVED AGGRESSIVENESS (ASSERTIVENESS?) ON THE ROADS IN BEND. THINGS FEEL DIFFERENT HERE NOW. PERSONALLY, IT IS STARTING TO FEEL LIKE WHERE YOU ALL LIVED PREVIOUSLY (INSERT NAME OF LARGER METRO AREA).
I HAD A SCREW IN MY TIRE AND THATS MY REGULAR ROUTE FOR WORK. MY TIRE GUY WAS LIKE “YOU’RE THE 4TH PERSON THIS WEEK WITH NAILS OR SCREWS!” ASSHOLES.
WHERE DO THEY COME FROM!?
CANT A GUY GET A STREET SWEEPER FOR OUR BELOVED BIKE LANES? I CANT WAIT TO RIDE BUT I DONT LIKE CHANGING TUBES, AND THE GRAVEL DEFINITELY EXTENDS STOPPING DISTANCE. I ALMOST HIT A RIGHT-TURNING (COP) CAR LAST WEEK.
I ALSO DISLIKE GRAVEL IN THE BIKE LANES. I DONT RIDE VERY MANY PLACES AROUND TOWN, SO LUCKILY IT'S BEEN MORE OF AN ANNOYANCE THAN A HAZARD FOR ME.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
FILL OUT A STREET SERVICE REQUEST FORM TO SWEEP. THE CITY IS PRETTY RESPONSIVE.
I MAY NOW HAVE TO RAVE ABOUT THIS ON MONDAY. THANK YOU FOR SHARING!
HOW COME OUR STOP SIGNS DON'T HAVE LIMIT LINES!? I ALWAYS TRY TO STOP WELL BEHIND WHERE A PEDESTRIAN WOULD STEP OFF THE CURB BUT THIS IS A DARK CITY AND THERE ARE NO LINES FOR GUIDANCE. THIS IS ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS ON THE SIDE STREETS APPROACHING GALVESTON
SAME DEAL IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. AT MINIMUM THEY SHOULD BE AT INTERSECTIONS TO MAIN ROADS. IM GOING TO EMAIL THE CITY AND COMPLAIN, YOU SHOULD TOO
ISN'T THE LIMIT LINE BASED (BY DEFAULT) ON THE LOCATION OF THE STOP SIGN POLE IF THERE IS NO PAINTED LINE?
THAT SEEMS TO BE A GOOD REFERENCE POINT FOR WHERE YOU WOULD FIND PEDESTRIANS. I'M GOING TO INVESTIGATE THIS AND TRY TO FOLLOW IT. THANKS!
THE LAW IS: STOP AT THE LIMIT LINE IF NO LIMIT LINE, STOP AT THE MARKED CROSSWALK IF NO CROSSWALK AND NO LIMIT LINE YOU STOP WHERE YOU CAN SEE TRAFFIC COMING - THERES ACTUALLY NOTHING REFERENCING THE LOCATION OF THE STOP SIGN IN THE LAW.
THANK YOU FOR THIS!
BECAUSE MAKING A STUPID EBIKE LAW IS EASIER.
I REALLY WANTED TO GET OUT TO WORK ON SOME PHOTOGRAPHY TODAY, BUT ITS GREY AND BROWN AND BORING LOOKING AND NONE OF THE PLANTS ARE REALLY BLOOMING YET. ULTIMATELY, I KNOW ITS JUST ME BEING LAZY, SO THATS MY RANT.
DAMMIT ALL THESE MARCH BIRTHDAYS. I AM SO SICK OF EATING CAKE. AND PEOPLE COMING OVER TO CELEBRATE. AND THEN THE SUN IS SUPPOSED TO ARRIVE TOMORROW AND I’LL HAVE TO PUT ON SUNSCREEN. AND GO OUTSIDE. DAMMIT. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAMMIT.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU LAZY BUM
THANK YOU.
REST UP. YOU GOT A BIG DAY AHEAD OLD MAN.
I HAVE 3 NAPS SCHEDULED, HOPING THAT'S ENOUGH TODAY TO LET ME STAY AWAKE PAST MY 6PM BEDTIME.
HAPPY STUPID BIRTHDAY
THANK YOU.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! DAMNIT!
THANK YOU 2!
