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.

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.

I'd agree if Grand River and Novi Road were the only places I drive.

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.

People who walk slowly and without purpose are kind of killing me lately.

1. I know you might be a tourist and get lost wandering around DC, but seriously, don't stop dead in the middle of the sidewalk to pull out your giant map. Just walk over to the SIDE of the sidewalk and then stop, so people can get around you.

2. Yes, you might be new to the Metro system and need to get your bearings. But seriously, you cannot just get off the escalator and STOP. The escalator doesn't care that there's an entire family blocking my path -- I have to keep moving anyway. I don't wish to bowl you over. Get off the escalator, walk a little ways, and THEN stop to figure out where you're going. Also, if your giant shambling group is blocking EVERY fare gate, I will tell you to move.

3. Do not glare or make comments about how "everyone in DC is in such a hurry!" when I walk around you on the sidewalk. I will come to your house in Fond du Lac or wherever and block your driveway when you're late for work, and we'll see how you like it.

4. I'm a runner and I frequent many multi-use paths. They work like roads. You stay to the right, pass on the left. That means, don't block the entire path by walking 5 people abreast. Don't have your dog on one of those long retractable leashes. Don't let your kids run all over the path. Bikes use these paths, and it's an accident waiting to happen when they're going 20+ MPH and you're rambling all over the path like it's your backyard.
