Rant #6: Rubbernecking
Rubbernecking A.K.A. not minding your own business is an excellent way to ruin thousands of peoples days all at once. I don’t know how many times I’ve been stuck in traffic for an hour, only to get to the source of the problem; someone was getting a speeding ticket. If you like many others have received a speeding ticket and you believe you’re not in violation and wish to perhaps fight against it, you may be wanting to find a lawyer for a speeding ticket.
Oh my God, jam on the breaks and stare at the guy getting the ticket! It’s SO exciting!!!!!!! So now that you couldn’t help yourself and jammed on the breaks to watch one man stand next to a car talking to the other person is still sitting in the car you’ve caused thousands of people to be late for work. If your life is so unfulfilled that you have to stare at a traffic ticket, lay face down in a pond and take a deep breath.
What are you expecting to see anyway? No really, I’d like to know. Are you hoping to see brains coming out of someones ear you sick fuck? Get yourself off on your own time, youtube horrible car accidents when you get home if that’s what you want to see, don’t inconvenience me. Has anyone ever stopped and seen anything other than a dented bumper anyway?
Do us all a favor and next time you have the urge to do that, take your seatbelt off, lean forward, and swerve into oncoming traffic so the rest of us at least have something to look at while we’re stuck in miles of bumper to bumper traffic.
