Random Rants XV: Like a Fine Whine

[Zack]

Over 130 in a 65.

Why?!

 

[Trajan12]

When I first started driving, I did about 90 in a 65. 130 is mad.

 

[cubsfan6506]

We should start a thread about it so we don't hijack this one.

 

[kulade]

The officer was exaggerating; it was hardly over 100. He didn't clock me in; it was a guesstimate.

I was on an empty interstate if that consoles you guys.

Why?!

Impatience.

 

[choxorn]

Still, anything over 90 is insane.

 

[kulade]

When you're driving alone with nothing around you, you have no frame of reference so it doesn't seem all that fast at all.

 

[choxorn]

Isn't there a nifty thing called a spedometer to tell you how fast you're going?

 

[kulade]

I would have payed attention to it, but I was too busy ignoring it.

 

[Ulyaoth]

He was too busy making sure he didn't die going at those insane speeds.

 

[Sashie VII]

RANT: 3 of my family members got in a car crash today. Stupid teenager not paying attention ran into them. Everyone's okay though.

At least none of them was badly injured.

 

[Red Door]

Over 130 in a 65.

That, my friend, is not a rant. That is impressive.

 

[Narz]

Serves you right.

RANT: 3 of my family members got in a car crash today. Stupid teenager not paying attention ran into them. Everyone's okay though.

I saw a Mexican man walking his bike across the street get plowed into by a bunch of teenagers speeding. It was right in front of me. Me & the man hit both unlocked & started walking our bikes from in front of the grocery store at about the same time. He just happened to choose to cross the street before I did & WHAM. You should have seen the kid's (driver's) expression. He was like "OMFG, I can't believe I just did that". I was in complete shock, I wheeled my bike down a side street, dropped it in someone's lawn behind a tree & started bawling. It was twilight, I walked back & saw the guy twitching & was grateful he was not paralyzed (though he was hit very hard & could possibly have died later in the hopsital). I decided I wanted to visit him but, you know, that's one of those things you think to do but don't. This was 2004 I think, I haven't cried since except a little bit when my friend died.

 

[Camikaze]

My damn internet has been broken for over a week.

 

[Masada]

I just thought utegate might have enthralled you....

 

[Bartleby]

I went to return the keys to my old apartment this morning and the landlord is claiming I owe a weeks rent.

 

[Camikaze]

I just thought utegate might have enthralled you....

Oh so much. Because the situation is completely in proportion.

I rant that the Australian media is so unimaginative that every single political scandal must end in -gate.

 

[Annex]

Still, anything over 90 is insane.

Ive followed behind people going 100 on the New York State thruway. In some parts its pretty wide open and there isnt a trooper for miles and miles. Still not a very good idea, though.

There's an Australian media?

 

[Flying Pig]

Moron.

RANT: Still got no job.

You're British, and I've just got home from work, so it's Flying Pig rant time - join the army!

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

I always have to look it up if someone uses a Latin phrase.
