Sorry...6:30-8:30 will be my time to hang out at Hardees, and B.S. with the other old farts.

No worse than the baws with the large trucks/SUVs that have to slowly accelerate going down airline because they can't afford to fill up the tank if they actually get over 2500 RPMs.

Apparently it is the fricking bees knees. I see 60-80 year olds driving around during the morning commute all the time. Not once have they driven the speed limit or come remotely close to running an orange light.




All of which you have observed from your choice spot under the interstate while holding up your hand lettered sign?

I like driving the speed limit and pissing off the butt lickers. My record is 9 cars backed up behind me. It's like having your own little choo-choo train. You should leave earlier. I like my Hardee's breakfast club friends.

You probably come to a complete stop to turn right, and when you turn you turn in to the left lane instead of the right.

How does nobody realize he's talking about a yellow light that is almost to red?

As in the yellow is bleeding into red so it's "orange".

He's saying if old people see a yellow light they aren't about to try to run it.

My favorite is when they are at the grocery store. They will wait for every item to be scanned and given the total. Then they will dig through their purse for 5 minutes instead of already having their payment option ready.

But, they are old and I have respect for old people. I just laught it off. Life it too short for some.

I retired at 56, been aggravating the working masses for all most 8 years now. I regret all the years I spent in a hurry worrying about some issue at work, now I see how little it really mattered.

I'm with you. Back about 15 years ago I was driving to my 8:00 class across town. The light out of my neighborhood turned green, I start to pull out, and this little old lady in a little car barrels into my drivers side. She was going to the Hospital to volunteer. During rush hour down main street. She was 83 years old. No reason someone that age should be doing that during that time of day.

In the same line of thought... every time I take a day off, it amazes me how much fricking traffic there is in the middle of the day. I just think "wtf do these people do"






They're probably on their day off and thinking the same

Maybe nobody wants to live near where you work.

Which was good news because at least you had some company.

Try going to the grocery store during the day. They wonder the store aimlessly.
