Hey Fecal Nugget-The Guy In The Backseat Won't Get Up Even If Ya Blow Yer Horn.

The BBQ Pit

So I’m driving home.
And traffic is stalled.
There’s a guy on the left, white pickup, coming out of a cross street, trying to get across 4 lanes of thick traffic, to go in the opposite direction.

Good luck, pal. :dubious:

What’s holding things up? :confused:

Ah. A funeral. Police escorts, plush hearse, a large # of vehicle with lights & blinkers on.

I switch on my lights; the respect thing, you know.

Then the white pickup races across the street! Doin’ 50!

And merges into “traffic”.

By “traffic”, I mean he jams himself into the funeral procession! :eek:

And then starts passing cars! :eek: :eek:

He gets behind the hearse, & then…

get this…

He starts blowing his horn, to get the hearse to speed up! :smack:

The escorting cops pause…
stunned for a moment…

and then…
feeding frenzy! :smiley:

I drive on, serene in the warm, nurturing glow of schadenfreude.

Somebody’s life sucks more than mine.

Dumbass.

The sun just got a little bit brighter. :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile: :slight_smile:

Ah, I love nothing more than seeing a total moron get his comeuppance. Too bad this doesn’t happen in my sight more often.

3

Alcohol must have played a part. Nobody could be that moronic, could they?

4

NEVER underestimate the stupidity of the average Joe.

5

Don’t we have a poster here named Fecal Nugget? I didn’t know you two knew each other.

6

The whole time the guy’s blowing his horn, I bet he’s thinking the same thing Sheriff Justice thought:

7

OMFG! That is sooooooooo sweeeeeeeeeeeet!

8

You’re soooooo negative, Mr. Blue Sky.

:wink:

9

You’ve get some extra spiffy coolness points for that reference.

To qoute Macro Man

11

Beautiful. I wish I could have seen it. :smiley:

12

Where was it, Bosda? I live right next to a funeral home, and see this stupidity all the time. Never ceases to amaze me.

13

You know…I understand the concept of funeral processions. I really, really do. But, a couple of days ago, I had the fun of attempting to merge onto the Northwest Tollway while a 50+ car funeral procession was heading down the center lane. It has the propensity to really annoy people.

The guy’s still a freakin’ jerk, though. I got pissed, but I just stayed in my (very crowded) lane and refrained from being offensive. Honking is just freakin’ rude.

14

That reminds me of a funny story from my mother’s funeral. (not that the funeral was funny, just you have to find your humor when you can). As the progression is running down the highway a trucker decided he needed to make the exit and cut in on the procession (up at the front where the family is), only problem being is that my mother had worked as a police dispatcher, and in this funeral procession were at least thirty marked squad cars, lets just say that this ass did not last very long before he was pulled over and was ticketed.
You would have think he would have noticed the squad cars as he passed.

15

I don’t think people who do this notice ANY of the other cars. They’re so focused on doing what they want that they ignore everything else.

16

I happened to be in the middle of a funeral procession for a local police officer. Some nimrod pulled in between me and the car in front of me. When the traffic officer directing traffic at a busy intersection saw the nimrod in front of me was not a part of the procession, she thought it was the end. When the light finally changed to green, I (and about 50 other cars) had to rush to catch up with the rest of procession.

dumbass.

On Church Street, in Murfreesboro, TN.
Not exactly a famous locale.

18

I think Geroge Carlin said it best in one of his comedy routines:

Very enlightening, I’d say.

This gal passes 15 cars all at once doing about 70. It was a two lane road and the speed limit was 45. I was near the back of the pack and I saw her brake lights flash briefly as she made her way to the front of the pack. Turns out she saw the Sherrif behind the first car as she was passing him and thought about slowing down, then realized it was too late. Needless to say the Sherrif pulled out and stopped her. I gave her a little *congratulation *beep as I passed her.

Yuck. Since M’boro has grown so much in recent years, Church St.'s generally a traffic nightmare anyway.

To add to the ever-growing literature concerning the differences between Nashville (and environs) and Memphis and the ahem friendly rivalry thereof, be assured Bosda that the drivers here suck too. It’s a different kind of suckiness, though. Memphians seem to act either out of an ignorance of traffic laws and customs or in a way that demonstrates a lack of awareness of either their surroundings or of the fact that they are in control of an automobile. Middle Tennessee drivers, on the other hand, often seem to have watched way, way too many episodes of The Dukes of Hazard. I personally put my bad driving in the last category, as I learned to drive on the hilly back roads around McMinnville, TN.
