I don’t get in a hurry for anyone. I drive like an old bitch. Don’t like it? Go around. Roads open on both ends.
I ain’t got ticket money. I ain’t got broke shit money either.

Yeah, but using turn signals should not be optional regardless of the speed you are going.
No problem if you’re not in a hurry at all. Stay right, yield to faster traffic, and everyone’s gonna get along fine.
Some part of my commute is on the only 3 lane highway in my country, the fucking people casually driving in the middle lane drives me up the fucking wall, I want to apply to be a policeman and just spend all my time ticketing those fucks.
That’s how I do it. I keep my ass in the slow lane.
As long as you’re going the speed limit, and not fucking 10 mph below it, then that’s fine.
Driving slow can also be dangerous. You want to drive predictably.
same, randos go around just to immediately turn right because I’m 5mph above the speed limit and not 15. In a way, slightly pissing off more those already unreasonably in a hurry brings me a bit of joy.
Australian here. Limit is 100km/h? Fine, set cruise to 100 and relax. Not fast enough? Tough, that’s your problem. (but we get fined for 3km/h over here.)
This is so me.
I live in a neighborhood with a school. Lots of children roam the streets. Presumably, they are taught to always look both ways, expect cars to misbehave, and otherwise look out for their safety. I haven’t heard of any injuries from cars.
I constantly watch cars, especially the oversized trucks, blow through stop signs, or accelerate to 35 mph on a 1/4 mile stretch of road with side street parking. It really boggles my mind when these same drivers then stop just before the school and drop their kids off to walk the rest of the way. Do you not understand that you put local neighborhood kids at risk from the driving you do, just to save a few moments of avoiding the actual car rider line? Where child safety is a priority.
“Nice stop!”
And then at night, delivery drivers blast through the area. Ignoring stop signs, driving excessively fast past parked cars. Kids live here, and they don’t always remember to look. Especially at dusk, when kids are still playing, but visibility is poor. These drivers gamble with three lives: the inexperienced child, their own, and that of the family that would grieve. For what? A few seconds?
Be nice to each other!!!
Be kind, you never know what someone is going through.
It’s your car.
I have a dilemma. I have a coworker who produces the worst code possible. That by itself is not an issue. But that combined with everything else makes him insufferable. Shit ranges from"not wanting to produce nor improve the quality of his code while suggesting a redactor of everything once a month" to literally “instead of using toilet paper he wipes his ass with a town that then he stores full of shit on a drawer” when confronted about anything he just laughs and ignores the issue.
He has pushed me to the point were I wish something bad happens to him. I think he might be depressed because multiple times a week we have to remind him about how shit his code is and how basically we all hate him. But on The other hand, if he was really depressed he would at the very least say sorry. He is just an asshole who is begging to be fired.
“instead of using toilet paper he wipes his ass with a town that then he stores full of shit on a drawer”
I have a lot of questions about this part
Towel
I forgot how to write it so I typed towl which got corrected as town. . everything else is correct. We do use bidets here where I leave but that does nothing without paper. Once I was leaving the bathroom and had finished the TP. I told him “wait, there is no TP. I’ll go get more” he replied “I don’t need it I have my towel”
Depression doesn’t make you do something so completely antisocial as displaying your shit stained ass wiping towel to your coworkers. There are deeper psychological issues there. That boy needs professional help.
Exactly. There are deeper issues and he might be depressed. But honestly I just want to yell at him until he either quotes , gets his shit together (pun intended), or kills himself. Honestly.
You don’t know what someone is going through, and everybody is the way they are because of a background that they didn’t choose.
That said, sometimes being unkind is the most effective way of pushing people toward a better path.
I think there is a big difference between “tough love” and unkindness. I don’t think being unkind is ever the best way to encourage someone to improve. Instead be “blunt” in communication/upfront with constructive criticism - which I see as a kindness.
Well, it has been my experience that kindness is in the eye of the beholder.
Nothing at all contradictory in that statement.
You said you weren’t into a show or movie i love? FUCK YOU AND YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY

Be nice to them, however when a person does not follow safety protocols time for niceties is over. Safety rules, protocols and et cetera are written with the blood of those who either did not knew them, or those who refused to follow them.

Exactly. The time for nice is when they are not currently operating a multi-ton death machine where their reckless behavior could literally kill someone. They’ll get every bit of kindness I can muster outside of that situation. In it though? There is no Nice.

Mostly the blood of the people they met a fateful day, sadly. And all the loved ones involved

I have no respect for individual that have no respect for rules of the road.

It might have been an accident. Maybe they’re emotionally distrissed or something. But then you could wonder if they should be driving.
