PandemicGreen

or not in the city, anymore. I am officially back in Cali for the summer from D.C. and already have been bombarded with a-holes and their sorry SUVs. Yesterday I was driving to the grocery store and coasting to a red light no more than 500 ft ahead, waiting for it to turn green. All of a sudden a sad sack in his Mercedes honks at me and swerves around me to speed up only to slam on his breaks at the red light. I roll up next to him and see the 2 year old sitting in back and the blue disabled card hanging from his rear view mirror. Seriously man? Was that necessary? We then proceeded to sit at every red light together down Irvine Blvd.

More gripes about my first few days here:

tourists in Newport Beach that dont stop for pedestrians or cyclists

beach goers that litter

drivers on the freeway who think its acceptable to toss lit cigarette butts out their windows

Costco shoppers that go through pallets of single-use, single-serving water bottles

massive intersections that are dangerous to cross as a pedestrian

traffic lights that cater to drivers instead of pedestrians

Ugh, the list goes on.

In fact, let’s make this interactive: post your own personal related gripes as you please. It kinda makes you feel better, I promise!
