Attention Columbia drivers!

[kierthos]

I realize that you need to be places. I realize that gas prices are high, your tempers are shorter because of it, and I also realize that if it starts raining while you're driving, you start driving with your ass.

However, even considering your low intelligence as a group, there is something you should have been aware of, but apparently aren't.

This is a crosswalk.

If the light is red you are supposed to stop before the first line, like the car in the picture. Not stop before the second line. Not stop after the second line.

The. First. Goddamned. Line.

If there is someone crossing in the crosswalk, do not move your car forward into them. It is rude. It may lead them to kick in your fucking headlights with their steel-toed work boots. Do not block their path by stopping in the crosswalk. They may have had a bad day at work and climb across your hood, horribly fucking up your paint job in the process and not giving a good goddamn about it.

Once again...

This is a crosswalk:

Learn the rules or stay the fuck off the road.

I actually have a friend who did this, and it was both brilliant and funny. If someone pulls in to the crosswalk, just walk up to their window and calmly tap. When they roll it down, say, "Sorry, could you back up? You're blocking the cross walk." Nice, polite... and it freaks people out. They don't have cause to get angry, so they usually just get embarrassed.

Or, if they're assholes, just stand in front of their car and scream, "Fuck you!" at the top of your lungs repeatedly. People hate that.

Heh... I might have to try that first one sometime...
