Los Angeles Drivers, Boo

[misterprofessionality]

I do not understand why people can't just own their mistakes. When you miss an exit, go to the next one! Don't risk everyone's lives.

this reminds me of my favorite, and very true, stand up comedy bit on traffic and drivers:

Quote: you should act in a way that if everybody acted that way things would work out. You should, because it would be mayhem if everybody (wasn't) like that. And most people kind of don’t care. Most people are very selfish. Most people don’t give a **** what happens as long as they get to do their favorite thing. People don’t even want to back off from their favorite thing. They won’t even do their second favorite thing. You ever seen somebody in trouble, like they’re at an intersection and they want to make a left, but they’re in the right– the all the way right lane because they messed up. So, here’s the guy. He’s in the right lane. And there’s a lot cars, like 6th avenue. A lot of cars. And he wants to make that left. So what does he do? He just does it anyway. He just goes at it. He just shoves his car through everybody’s life without any– And everybody’s honking and outraged and you always see they guy go, “I have to. I have to.” “There’s no other possible thing I could do.” “What else could I do, except go up one more block and then go left and take four seconds.” “That’s not my favorite way, though!” “That only meets 99% of my criteria.”
