And this is every day, about 4 to 5 times a day. I'm not exaggerating, it really is. I'm generally a very patient, calm person but the way they drive here gets me, and it gets me very upset. I get upset because there's nothing I can do about it. I have no driving patience for these folks here. I'm getting mad posting about it.

Live in Michigan for a month and you'll want to move back to CT. They drive slow every day and all over, not just in the passing lane. And then when they merge into traffic, getting on the freeway, they do about 40 mph going onto the freeway while most folks (on the freeway) are doing about 60... still 10 mph below the speed limit. If Toyota had a tech center in MN. I'd move back home. It's that bad, and it's so frustrating. I'm really getting tired of this broke, non-driving state. I really am.

I really do not experience what you do on the roads at all. Everywhere I go, people are going 10 over, unless it is rush hour stop n go traffic. I get ticked off when I'm going 80 or 85 in the fast lane and people are getting right up on my tail and flashing their lights. Sorry folks, you don't need to go more than 15 over and I'm not getting behind someone going 70 when I'm going 85.

What's in bold is freaking hilarious!

I agree with the above POSTS (for preciousjenni), except that I find that the reality TV on cable is the worst. The network shows aren't nearly as bad. I think of Survivor and the Amazing Race more as game shows than reality shows, honestly.

I concur.

Y'all are really angry about a lot of stuff!

That's because this is PB's way of driving. 100 mph is slow to him.

Nah, these jokers are awful. It happens at least 5-6 times daily and everyday I'm on the road. Today I was going to Biggby on the corner of Novi and Grand River. I couldn't even get into the yellow left turn lane because some fool was also turning left going west blocking the entrance I wanted to turn into. He was supposed to move up towards the entrance he was going to be turning into. Damn fool! These jokers here get me hot around the collar every time, without fail. I've never used my horn in the other states I've lived in (seriously, no lie). I didn't start using it until I moved here. I've never wanted to move out of a state because of the driving. I really do wish Toyota would open a tech center in MN. I really, really do.

THIS is your problem. You're trying to drive around the most congested suburban intersection in the whole state! You couldn't pay me to go drive around Novi and Grand River. The closest I get is 12 Oaks. Off the freeway, into the mall. Out of the mall, back on the freeway, and only on weekends, never during rush hour. NEVER during rush hour.

This is fraternity related: It also bothers me when I see fraternity brothers wearing perry that makes Kappa look bad. Seeing playboy bunnies on jackets, etc.

I saw a brother wearing this garbage once. I started to let him know how stupid he looked wearing it, but I didn't know him well enough to make a comment like that. Have more respect for the fraternity, yourselves, and other folks around you. When you wear perry that degrades women, you degrade yourselves, and the fraternity. Some brothers just don't think.

I saw this one once, too. This is the dumbest shit I've seen, so far.
