FRIDAY RANT THREAD

NYE FUCKED UP MY SLEEP CYCLE. IF A HOLIDAY FALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK, WE SHOULD HAVE THE REST OF THE WEEK OFF. AMERICANS DON'T DEMAND ENOUGH VACATION TIME. WE ARE TOO PRODUCTIVE WITH TOO LITTLE TO SHOW FOR IT. I'M TIRED.

WHAT A HORRIBLY WORDED BROCHURE BECAUSE IT MAKES IT UNCLEAR IF “ONLY TO MAKE THE MOVEMENT INDICATED” MEANS IMMEDIATELY OR ULTIMATELY

I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. YOU MUST YIELD TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC ON A FLASHING YELLOW BEFORE YOU MAKE THE TURN. ALWAYS. AND YOU DON'T ENTER AN INTERSECTION ON A SOLID YELLOW UNLESS YOU'RE ALREADY GOING SO FAST THAT YOU CANNOT SAFELY STOP BEFORE ENTERING THE INTERSECTION. EZPZ.

RATHER THAN TRY TO EXPLAIN WHY THE BROCHURE ISN’T SPECIFIC ENOUGH HERE’S A VERY CLEAR EXPLANATION FROM WASHINGTON COUNTY THAT I ASSUME IS TRUE STATE-WIDE SAYING YOU CAN’T WAIT IN THE INTERSECTION FOR YOUR OPENING. FAST FORWARD TO MINUTE 2: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=v9U0LJ1r9Us&list=UUwPH_ktRyEtWLwHNwsbaN0w&index=30

READ THE PART OF THE BROCHURE THAT SAYS THAT “you may cautiously enter the intersection” THERE IS NOTHING THAT SAYS YOU CANT ENTER IT UNLESS YOU ARE CLEAR TO TURN. ALSO IT SAYS THE GOAL OF FLASHING YELLOW IS EFFICIENCY.
