I hate the traffic!
Posted by Don Packett under Uncategorized on August 24 2006 at 10:21 AMThis post’s heading has two stories to it.
Story 1:
I do hate the traffic. I stay about 1km from the Link, and on my way here this morning, in that short space of time, I got frustrated.
Lesson 1: Don’t cross the road at a robot if you know that you’ll be blocking the cars from the side, ‘cos chances are the light’s gonna go red, and your silly ass is gonna be blocking me, which means I can’t go anywhere when it goes green for me.
Rain + most Gauteng drivers = “Duuuuuuh, garshk, how do I drive this here motor veehickel Mary-sue, duh-hyuk!”
Story 2:
Tomorrow night, The Blues Room, if you’re not there, you’re missing out on one shit-hot punk-assed event! Pioneers of the Underground is gonna be one hot weekend gig, with Pretoria punk legends Leek and the Bouncing Uptones performing two reunion shows, and The Vendetta’s, another one of the key players in the SA punk scene reuniting to put the ‘the man’ back in his place! Rich and I saw them on Friday night at London Calling, and they’re still as tight as ever with crowd favourites ‘My choice’, I like beer more than girls’ and ‘I hate the traffic’.
Really, if you’re not at the Blues Room, sorry for you. Leek and The Vendettas will be playing alongside My Favourite Weapon, Fuzigish, and Reverend Wright will be performing with Leek and The Slashdogs! Two sets, two nights, you go boy! It’s gonna be killer killer killer!
So get your skanking shoes on and get your punk-ass to The Blues Room for one massive night!

If i lived 1 kay from work I’d be walking every day brother. Of course today would have to be a driving day. Curse you for living so close to work – try drive 80km one way sometime!

In the US they have these big yellow boxes at intersections with the words “Don’t block the box – fine is 10 points.”
The point system means that should somebody drop to zero points on their licence, it is suspended.
The New York Police attitude takes this a step further! I watched a police car pull up alongside a double parked car that was causing a tail back. The driver was sitting at the wheel waiting for someone. The policeman got on his loud hailer (mounted between the lights on the roof and loud enough to shake your fillings loose) and said, “You! What’s your reason for double parking here? You got no eyes man? Turn around and just look at the chaos you’re causing. Move on out man! Move! You listening?”
New York – got to love it.

i agree, it seems that when its starts raining peps will drive like freakitas… i rate we screen test all drivers and those who are afraid of water should be barred from driving in rainy weather…

Words on a billboard next to a highway:
“you’re not stuck in the traffic; you are the traffic.”

[...] I’m sure you’ll agree with me on this one when I say, if more than 4 drops of water starts to fall from the sky, the general ability of people to drive like normal human beings drops by 90%. [...]
