:rofl:

apparently nobody cared it was my first day on the new job and decided to try to get me to go home early :histerica

I swear people have no respect for use idiots holding the stop signs...

How hard is it really to see 3 sings and a 6'5 dude holding a stop sign? One woman tried to run my stop sign like she didnt see me, another dude tried to run me over and I got first hand experience at pissed off drivers flicking cigs at you as they drive by :drinkbud

I did a small bit of flagging when I was working for the power company when we were working in the road and needed traffic stopped. I got a lot of joy in pissing drivers off. Some of the things I'd like to do is let all the cars through except the last two in the line. I also liked holding the slow sign then flipping it to stop at the last minute. Sometimes they'd stop and sometimes they wouldn't.

Run at them with the sign like you're going to bash in their windshield. They'll slam on the brakes.

The thing I hate most about these people is pointing at where I'm supposed to go, when there's one lane. Where the hell am I supposed to go dumbass! Just because I CAN drive over the cones and through the dirt doesn't mean I'm going to! Pisses me off. Once I even stopped and pointed where she was with a questioned expression on my face like "I'm supposed to go there?" and she nodded and pointed again. It was funny. I started laughing.

I've never understood people that choose to piss off other strangers, and find it fun.

Two words: malignant narcissism.

Otto Kernberg described malignant narcissism as a syndrome characterized by a narcissistic personality disorder (NPD), antisocial features, paranoid traits, and ego-syntonic aggression. Other symptoms may include an absence of conscience, a psychological need for power, and a sense of importance (grandiosity).

Weird ain't it. Another thing I like to do is cut of drivers in the left turning lane. There is one street here where there is a center turning lane the whole way, then at the bottom of the hill it turns to a dedicated left turn lane at a stop sign. At busy drive times the traffic backs up a ways up the hill at the stop sign so sometimes if drivers have to make a left turn they will get in that center lane and drive all the way down the hill in it to make the left turn. If I see someone do that behind me and I'm going up to the stop sign I'll cut them off by getting in that lane to make a left turn at a small road 100 feet before the stop sign and where the dedicated turn lane starts. It always takes a minute or 3 for traffic to clear so I can make the turn and the whole time they are stuck behind me all pissed off. Many times a car is comming out too which I have to wait for since its only a one lane road. Then after I make the left turn to the little alley I gotta go around the back way to get back on the highway to get to where I was going. I guess I'm an asshole because I like doing crap like that. Even there where I have to go way out of my way to do it.

:scratchhe

They will?

Cars aren't supposed to hit the road cones, that's destruction of property, and some other small traffic fines.

At least that's how the cops saw it last time we pulled that stunt while paving. :thumbup

:scratchhe

We didn't hit anything.

Some asshole driver thought it'd be funny to take out some road cones so he wouldn't have to make the turns around the work area, he happened to try and make the straight line across the work area, and found out three of the cones in the 'straight through' path happened to be filled with concrete.

He hit the cones with his 2007ish Nissan sedan.

I never knew what a quickly discharging radiator and a/c condenser sounded like until then.

Stop it, You're Making Me Blush.

The world is my plaything, it's like putting duct tape on cats when you were a kid. Except you're bigger than a cat, and I don't even need to buy duct tape.

Miss me?
