Whadda ya mean you haven't heard of Pissy Tuesdays
Law-Rah, from WonL, stumbled across Pissy Tuesdays. She's now giving them there just due in the blogging world and helping other express their Pissiness on Tuesdays.
I am honored to help push this trend forward with Pissy Red.
I was just complaining to Brico the other day that I didn't understand the traffic lights in Charlotte. There are big Red X's, White X's, squiggly white arrows pointing to the left or right, green arrows pointing to the left and right, and all sorts of other oddities. We have no such things in Tennessee! No X's. No squiggly arrows. We have some green arrows, but they always point left. What's up with these right pointed green arrows?
Thanks for explaining the Big Red X's. If I look up and see one, I'm going to immediately look in the rearview mirror and get out of Red's way! ;)
Why can't we go back to the good ol' days of just red, yellow, and green lights?!
I think if I had to take a driving test now, I would fail because I don't know what half of Tish's stuff means:-) When I moved here from Louisiana, I was floored that lanes could be operable/inoperable and directional depending on the time of the day. That's crazy talk.
I live just outside of the base where I work in Indian Head. It takes me less than five minutes to get to work. Traffic is not one of the things I have to deal with.
Tish: Ok now that's crazy stuff. DC has some crazy traffic lights and signs but these are pretty straight forward. Hence if I understand them then they must be easy. Allan: I rarely drive I-66. Last time was for a concert at Nissan years ago. Law-Rah: DC is definitely crazy and I don't drive too far into downtown. Maybe I'm just used to some of it?? Thanks for letting me take part in the Pissiness. Keith: Yeah I've worked down there for one reason or another for the past 16 years. IH highway's speed limit is way too slow. That's where I got pulled over for the first time ever. Thank goodness it was just a warning.
*LOL*

Nice job Red :) -- have you ever had to deal with the Red X's on 66?

ReplyDeleteThanks, Red, for getting Pissy Tuesday going!

I got my first ticket on Indian Head Highway also, but that was way back in 1980.
