Driving around Snellville truly sucks! Started out the day by "running" out to get a few errands handled. I was in the right hand lane and had one car in front of me. There was no one else on that stretch of road at the moment. Out of the clear blue she suddenly and for no reason I could understand, she SLAMS on her brakes. Good thing I wasn't tailgating her. I thought she saw something in the road I couldn't see. NOT! she just slammed her breaks on in order to then gun it and swerve into the right hand turn lane!!!!!!

Next stop, I am carefully and slowly maneuvering through a parking lot. I have come to a complete stop at the stop sign at the pedestrian crossing, proceed slowly as no pedestrians are crossing, only a group of about 7 women, girls, meandering down the sidewalk. I assume they are going to the next store. But NO! They all witout even looking step right out in front of me and stand there discussing......who knows, where to go for lunch, what to do for the 4th, world peace?!? :dunno: There's so many of them there's no way to get around them. I now have traffic backing up behind me. I have no choice, I lightly tapped on my horn (icould have rolled the window down and :cuss:at them i guess) only to have several of them give me the one finger salute!!!!! :pissed: Run in the last store, was in mabe 10-12 minutes max. Return to truck to find it plastered with about 15 "coupons" for various offers for gym memberships, $5 off pizza, a $39 massage, HOLY CRAP!!!!! I'm getting less junk mail at home only to have it plastered all over my freakin' truck.

I won't even go into the deadly 4 way stop I have to go through to get home or the Dr's Bldg that has a stop sign, that apparently changes to "GO REALLY FAST WITHOUT STOPPING" everytime I am passing it.

It's a jungle out there people! Proceede with caution. :blink:

Did I miss the memo that 98 had been granted "autobahn" status?

People are passing me like I'm going backwards ............ and I am exceeding the speed limit!

Folks, that red thing (light, octagonal sign etc.) means stop!

And that line on the pavement is to show you where - if the REAR bumper of your car is several feet PAST that line you are in the middle of the GD intersection! :angry:

Why is Publix forcing their workers to work on July 4th? I was so hoping to be able to drive by on Saturday on my way to a party and giggle at a parking lot full of hungry crying tourists banging on the non-functional doors. :D

Argh!
:bang:

Here's my current rant: I have been receiving a lot of yuans instead of quarters as change.
1 Chinese yuan = 0.146366 U.S. dollars
I mean, it's only about ten cents, but it still ticks me off.

Save them and bring them to the beach and I'll give you quarters/cash for them! I collect foreign currency! :wave:
