Road Rage

Hello. I, the decider, have decided to make the executive decision to decidedly shorten my posts. Why? So I can cut out all of the stuff that no one cares about. And make it funnier overall. And I'm already rambling on.

You know what I've realized during my time here?

Whoever said that
Boston drivers suck has not
Been to Ithaca


I've heard all my life that Boston drivers are horrible, that they honk and are violent, and will throw red shells at you. The truth, however, is that Boston drivers are not all that bad. They will often let you merge, and are successfully able to complete a bottleneck without any honking (that's when traffic is funneled, it isn't some cool trick involving a halfpipe). Ithaca drivers, on the other hand, seem to be straight out of GTA. If you think that crosswalks hold any bearing in Ithaca, you won't last long here at all. It probably has to do with all of the waiting that they have to do for the 20,000 students to cross the street. Which begs the question: why drive a car on Cornell's campus anyway? That is all. Now, I'll go to class and try not to get run over.

  1. Quit whining, you silly Massachusetts person. You know that the rest of us have to jaywalk normally, without it being all LEGAL and stuff. Psh.

  2. Driving in ATL is the worst. People run red lights after they've been red for two minutes. And the traffic lights aren't synched.
