Deeply Disturbed

There is something that has been bothering me for a very long time that I just cannot keep to myself any more. I think it would help me to talk about it.

WHY DO PEOPLE DO THIS?2010-09-29 11.52.01That white car is stopped.

I see this ALL THE TIME and it drives me insane. What is so scary about pulling up to the line? Did this lady say, “Oh no, an intersection! I’m just gonna hang out back here to get a running start when the light turns green.”

Half the time, the lights don’t change unless you’re car is at the line. I bet this woman spends a lot of time 20 feet behind the line at stoplights, saying to herself, “Wow, I’ve been sitting here a really long time.”

I was going to wait until I had more pictures of this phenomenon to blog about it, but I decided that these people are most likely mentally unstable and may not react well if they see me taking their picture.

Whew. I feel better. Please tell me I’m not the only one who has noticed this and is disturbed by it!

I've seen people do it and it bugs me too! Pull up to the line already!!

That's hilarious! I get annoyed by that too :)

I get annoyed by the people who stop halfway into the intersection even more. If you're out there, you might as well go.

LOL, well, that doesn't look like quite 20 feet, maybe 10 or 12, but still!! I also think it's irritating. But there are many other more irritating things, like people who pull ahead of the white line and block crosswalks, or even worse, run red lights. Guess she's just being cautious! :)

There are so many things that drive me insane about people driving I couldn't even start to list them here. You're right though - ugh!

Love the new fall look - it rocks! Now if only it would feel like fall around here - it's 86 today.

LOL!I know what you mean, but it's my husband that gets the most irritated by it. He rants about it forever: "Don't they realize it's activated by a sensor?"... or "Well, maybe it would turn green if you moved up to the damn sensor!" etc etc

Ugh! I hate this also! And then it makes me paranoid, because I'm like "Wait, am I up to far? Is a car going to hit me if they turn? Why aren't they up as far as me?" Lol...
