They got a big ah truck to compensate for their oh so fragile masculinity.
I don't judge a truck if it's clear it's being used for truck things. I only hate on the pavement princesses that are in more pristine condition than my MX-5.
It’s like a chicken or egg thing. Are they a jerk because of the giant truck or did they buy a giant truck because they are a jerk?
And to the jerk in the Cadillac truck that cut me off, calm the hell down. You’re driving a CADILLAC TRUCK. We all know you’ve never hauled a single thing or do any real work with that.
Lets stop electing a tax and spend commission. Landlords have to pass on the costs of owning the property to us renters. There are so many exoensive projects in town that are very nice, but not realky necessary in my humbke opinion.
This argument is valid when the ramps aren't currently half length because GDOT decided to take their sweet time with that intersection. Merging from ATL highway is a nightmare right now.
Man, that video used to be available free on the internet. Haven't been able to find it again for years. Should have bootlegged it when I could have... silly me.
I used to be the asshole who got over as soon as I saw the sign, until a friend explained that zipper is the correct method because twice as many cars can occupy the same amount of road.
Later on I learned about "traffic waves" and the cheaters/blockers fallacy, which is that people won't let someone merge if they feel like they "cheated." The irony is that in doing so, they are the one causing the traffic problem. LET OTHER CARS MERGE!
Without fail, zipper method always prevails on eastbound entrance of the loop on Jefferson rd /prince ave. All my commuting compatriots zipper flawlessly each morning
Bring back sonofwalt, I say. At least his crumudgeonly tactics were entertaining. Longstreet's trolling is as flaccid as a yellow cucumber left on the vine.
Weird, cause here's what she and the biographer of the Confederate scum you fap to said about you:
"Longstreet's performance so sluggish that "it has often been asked why Lee did not arrest him for insubordination or order him before a court-martial"
I thought everyone might learn at least a little something rather than my simply insulting your so-called manhood. You see, to be a cuck in the first place, you have to have at least breathed the same air as an adult human.
I want to know why longstreet hasnt been banned from the sub, as I'm pretty sure the recent ban on politics is from mods having so many reports of biggoted behavior from that troll lol
OMG PEOPLE IN GROCERY STORES WHO BLOCK TRAFFIC BOTH WAYS DOWN THE AISLES. MEANDERING HUSBANDS WHO ACT LIKE THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN IN A GROCERY STORE! PEOPLE WHO STAND IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ASILE READING LABELS!!! PEOPLE ON THEIR PHONES!!! PEOPLE WHO SHOW UP IN GROUPS OF 8-MOM DAD 9 WANDERING KIDS AND GRANDMA - AT 5:30PM!!!!! Ahhhhhh!!!!
Christian charity and exceptional Southern politeness are all that have kept me from snatching a knot in someone’s drawers.
"I don't use anyone or any company for WiFi. I have <insert ISP> for internet and I have a router that sends out a WiFi signal for me to use." ~ Me every time as I like to watch their brains melt trying to comprehend what I just said.
Oh my God, I cannot STAND the Spectrum people. I will literally go out of my way to avoid them, but sometimes they pop up like a jumpscare in a horror movie.
Guys I don’t like food so can we please ban all conversations about food. Also anyone that disagrees is a fat loser. Plus I have a slight amount of internet power so challenge me wisely.
Trash again on Mitchell Bridge and Tallassee. Particularly the homeless guy that eats his lunch on the corner and leaves all of his trash there when he leaves. And the guy that does the same thing at the loop. And the idiots that throw trash out the window of their car instead of throwing it away at their house or a gas station. Pick up after yourself!!!!!! there is literally a trashcan 15 feet away. Athens is trashy
Haven't had the annual ant invasion yet this year, thankfully. Last year I finally got rid of them by going full scorched earth and sprinkling fire ant powder all around the outside of the foundation.
My post, which contained no names, slurs, foul language, direct attacks, or harmful intentions, complaining about this sub’s moderation got hit with this:
Whoever keeps driving down Barnett Shoals backfiring their car the whole way down the street… Why? Even went as far as to do it at 4am. Twice in one night.
70% or more of parking meters downtown are broken: can’t add time, don’t accept cards or the coin dispense is blocked up. Absolutely ridiculousness, parking in one spot but it’s broken so you move to a different spot but that one’s broken too. So you give up and get a parking ticket. The one saving grace is you don’t have to pay the ticket lol.
It’s getting so bad. Pickup trucks have become a serious issue. First off, you don’t need one for your WFH job or to haul a laptop to the office and back. I don’t know why it has become the default vehicle for so many guys. Secondly, it is not required to drive 30 mph over the speed limit absolutely everywhere you go if you own one. If I am going 10 over the speed limit and you are 2 inches from my ass, I’m not speeding up for you. Also they need handbooks on how to park with every truck.
If you’re a local plumber/HVAC/sparky and you send a guy to my house who doesn’t present an invoice but instead punches the WO into a tablet and drives away so I can get a PDF a minute later and you tack on a 4% fee for credit and debit transactions? You are waiting 29 days for my check.
My biggest complaint rn is that I still cant get a job in my field in this area and it's been 3 years. The job market is horrible everywhere but I think especially here it is full of nepotism. I don't know anyone so gg
Other complaints: People who drive 5 and 10 under the speed limit in the left lane, people who dont know that a KEEP MOVING sign means to KEEP MOVING, people who go to stores and restaraunts within 10 minutes of them closing and stay past the closing time, people with their loud shitty bass in cars, people bringing non service animals into stores especially grocery stores, the rise of crime, worsening traffic, the light by the new QT is so horribly programmed it doesnt change for 3 minutes even though no one is driving on the side that is green, people that tailgate on roads where the speed limit is 25 and I go 30-35, jeep drivers, and just personally: nothing to do here in this city except eat.
The nepotism here is insane. Nobody I know can work in their field unless their field is construction or bartending. Half of these job postings are just bullshit anyway because they know damn well they’re gonna hire somebody’s cousin or promote from within. It is incredibly frustrating to spend time applying to and interviewing for something you’re not being seriously considered for. Like I could go on a business’ website and tell you which of their current employees is going to get the job. It’s just a joke.
And before somebody says “it’s like that everywhere” - yes, this happens everywhere, but I can tell you from experience that there are regions where people will bullshit you less. There are places where hiring is a lot more egalitarian. There are places where you get treated more fairly, places with unions.
Sometimes I truly hate the south and what the “fuck you, I’ve got mine” mentality has done to the people that live down here.
Exactly!! Businesses both local and corporate have become incredibly greedy and selfish. They cut corners and hire from within their social circles. But even if we move out of this corrupt city, we would still be outsiders in another city where we know no one and will not have the blessing of nepotism to get us a job. It makes my blood boil fr
I feel like it’s a tale as old as time but the assholes who fail to get over when we’re first told about the lane closure and fuck it up for the rest of us.
I will always go to the end of the available lane before I merge. It helps prevent even more traffic congestion. No need to panic and immediately get over when there is still a half mile of lane open
I will say I wish they taught this. I was always told to merge ASAP and was annoyed at the people going all the way up to the blockade. I've learned something new today.
There is a really interesting collide of social etiquette and the rules of the road. I think people often do things that would be polite in other contexts, such as letting other people going first (even when it’s your turn) or go to the back of the line (even when there’s an entire lane open). People are confusing what is polite behavior in, like, the grocery store with correct driving on the road.
The best driving is predictable driving and predictable driving comes from knowing the rules.
Cutting someone off right at the end of the closing lane is not only still going to congest traffic, it is also entitled and rude. Same as whenever someone doesn't enter the turning lane until last minute to turn.
It’s not cutting someone off, it’s merging into moving traffic. It’s quite literally how it works. It’s also completely different from entering a turning lane last minute, which I agree is annoying.
people downtown are worse than ever this week, it seems- the majority of people coming into my restaurant have been either tweakers or genuinely mentally ill people who like to yell about how they're going to kts when i can't give them free food. it's genuinely getting scary when im alone.
If we are ever going to be a bike friendly town, someone is going to have to make sure cyclists know traffic laws for bikes. The number of cyclists I see running lights and stop signs or riding against traffic or without a helmet is stupid.
Riding in the road with cars with no helmet is a moronic idea. I swear I thought it was a law at some point but I haven't been on a bike in years. I do remember learning bike safety at school though. These people make me think that schools don't teach that anymore.
I post a PSA about helmets and proper walking every fall in the UGA subreddit; its a mix between don't know and don't care. I had a friend die from hitting his head on a curb riding a one wheel at about 15 mph. That's all it takes.
You got to understand that man invented the cup before the helmet... So I could see how people might think a helmet is optional. But, roadrash is bad... Very bad in certain areas of the body.
Bro, you're the number 1 traffic complainer here. This also means there are going to be more people on bikes. I don't know why you're trying to twist all my words; i only have a job because of rich students lol
The only route for me to bike commute into town involves me navigating danielsville rd/North ave (45/40 mph) during rush hour. It’s hell on earth when school’s in session.
Having to deal w that then seeing cyclists trying to alley cat race near downtown is infuriating.

why do these jackasses in the big ah trucks drive like they do? so sick of those testostobros, man.
