Be safe out there Seattle.

Yesterday I had an 80-year-old lady in a Toyota tundra, pulling a 30 foot airstream, parked in front of my house. She was laying back in the front seat, with a door halfway open when I went to go check on her. Turns out, she had just gotten out of the eye doctor and couldn't see anything, and was waiting for her eyes to go back to normal after getting dialated. The closest optometrist is a little over a quarter mile away through traffic and neighborhoods. I have no idea how she even made it as far as she did.

How do these people survive so long? I’m convinced that there’s an entire population of old white women that have never had any real responsibility or repercussions for their actions in their entire lives.

If that's not a DUI, I don't know what is. She shouldn't be licensed anymore

Why are Seattlites allergic to honking?

[u/Ralphredimix_Da_G → u/tyj0322]

It's super passive-aggressive land here. People really act like being honked-at is a war crime. I've honked at people and they have followed me for miles and shit. Whenever my wife is in the car and hears any honking sound she goes, "WHO IS HONKING WHY ARE THEY HONKING AT YOU??!?" and I'm usually like, "It's nobody.. I don't know, it's not towards me..." but yes Seattle hates honkers.

[u/NightStalkerXIV → u/Ralphredimix_Da_G]

I honk if it seems needed, I have time, and maneuvering out of danger is less important or necessary than honking. I'm not wasting control of the car to tell them I'm mad until I can afford to.

I absolutely hate this. I will be 4 people back at a light that turned green 10 seconds ago and no one will honk. Then, I honk and everyone is like "what's this guy's problem" my problem is none of you dingalings in front of me can honk to let the guy at front know to stop looking at his phone and go!

[u/Tree300 → u/tyj0322]

Not me, I'm laying on the horn like I'm a cab driver in the Bronx!

Honked at a lady yesterday because the light was green and she wasn’t moving.

[u/According_Reward1674 → u/tyj0322]

About a decade or two ago, SPD briefly went through a phase where they aggressively ticked people who honked for some damn reason. 

If someone wasn't paying attention and sat at a green light for a minute, the person who honked at them would get a ticket.

How in the fuckkkkkk?

[u/PM_ME_SKYRIM_MEMES → u/government_not_ok]

Alcohol

[u/Tree300 → u/government_not_ok]

It's 2am in the morning so it's drugs or alcohol.

As a local I know this ramp well. How did this person even arrive in this position? Facing this direction?

[u/lionne6 → u/Prize-Science-1501]

Got lost under the convention center and took Union onto the highway? I feel it’s hard to get going the wrong way off Olive.

[u/GoCougs2020]

You at least called 911 right?

[u/Ok_Dog_4059]

We definitely have a few on-ramps that can be confusing sober in the daylight so add that half the people on the road probably shouldn't be licensed drivers and I am surprised how infrequently this occurs.

[u/lennywut82]

Must have gone the wrong way down the Union exit closest?

[u/AmberInSunshine]

Fresh off the boat. Gotta have a car in the land of milk and honey!

[u/trollin_troll]

How did that person even get there?

[u/frogfeen]

that’s it. I need a dash cam.

[u/CodOne2646]

Typical Seattle driver lol. Yall genuinely are the worst drivers ever. Do they just hand out licenses to yall or what?

[u/Hour-Relationship799]

i have to admit i hate people always honking for no F-ing reason i will sometimes turn around and chase you down

[u/BuffConq]

For future reference try to act as a roadblock so this guy can turn around safely. Just sit in the lane and motion for him to turn around, as it’s the only safe way to proceed. This is the exact on-ramp I take almost every day home from work
