Ugh, lisah. Someone does have to be in charge and herd cat-like people though.
Tear them down and put in a roundabout?
I would love to. But I think I'd be arrested. It might be worth it. Not that people are great with roundabouts here but they are better than the chaos of a four-way. Idiots.
It's the lack of aggression in most combined with the overt aggression in others that infuriates me. There is always someone stopped who keeps wanting to waves others through. THAT IS NOT HOW IT WORKS. You don't get points for nice. Do it the right way. Now. Ahem.

Oh, hey, my brain.
And you also don't get points for waiting at the stop sign until I get there. Your responsibility will be fulfilled once you come to a full and complete stop, letting any other vehicles with the
current
right of way through the intersection before you. Waiting for the cars that will never actually have the right of way while you squat there only slows things down for everyone.
Fuck, I haven't left yet. I'm still here bitching.
I don't think it's assholish to drag a meeting back to its point after it's gone off on a tangent.
However, the people who walk up and talk over me at my local comic book store make me wonder if I would be able to hold other's attention over the distraction of the interruptor screaming in pain.
Roundabouts, or as we New Englanders call them, rotaries, are awesome. Traffic studies indicate that they are both safer and keep traffic moving more smoothly than traffic lights.
Exactly! Why does the baby American Jesus hate SCIENCE?!
Biyi tends to be quite direct, and has little patience for social convention getting in the way of clear communication. Which I think goes a long way towards explaining why she emigrated from China, and possibly why she works as an interpreter.
If someone explains themselves with YOLO, they're saying it's not a logically or perhaps even emotionally defensible decision? I'm totally not getting the nuance of this lingo.
I thought that basically meant "Yeah, it's stupid, but I'm gonna do it anyway."
What does YOLO stand for?
I was really upset because the way he brought it up after made me feel like it was a HUGE character flaw that everyone has been bothered by for a long time and that I'd been acting like an oblivious asshole for months and getting in the way of work getting done and pissing off the client (he specifically mentioned me stepping on the lines of our business owner).
Seems to me you should give him a thorough dose of constructive criticism on how to correctly offer constructive criticism.
And you also don't get points for waiting at the stop sign until I get there.
I sometimes do this. When I'm turning left and I know people blow through the opposite stop sign all the time, I wait to make sure they are, in fact, stopping. It's not being polite, it's fear.
The baby American Jesus can drink whisky from the cat bowl for all I care.
I need to look for opportunities to repeat this. Maybe have a stamp made up.
