When the roads are icy, stay the fuck home.

[taterguy]

You wouldn't believe how many morans I saw when I was driving back from the mountains today.

Don't people have access to TV, radio, the Internet, & common sense?

The forecasts and warnings were clear: Don't drive.

Maybe drive if you need to go to the ER but otherwise you'll end up in the ER, or worse.

Whatever happened to being content where you are?

Do we always need to be somewhere else?

:grr: :grr: :grr:

[Deja Q]

1. Well, many people are content to stay where they are at...

then the job gets offshored.

[malta blue]

2. well, YOU were driving

:hide:

[taterguy]

5. WHat's your point?

[malta blue]

6. point was everyone has stuff to do - icy roads or not

plus, it was a joke....

[Shell Beau]

8. Ha! Exactly!

:P

[DarkTirade]

3. I went to a small party last night across town at a friends' apt.

Just a couple of us getting together one last time before the semester starts and we won't have time for it anymore.

... ended up coming home about 7 in the morning, because I just didn't feel safe driving until the snowplows had gotten the main roads.

4. There will be plenty of tough-asses with four wheel drive out there

even with 2 inches of ice on the road...they'll drive with chains on their tires....

What the frigging morans don't realize is that chains on tires will NOT improve traction on ice and you still slide!

And yes...frigging people ALWAYS have to be somewhere else doing this and that...why do you think I complain about them as much as I do?

[Wapsie B]

21. There are plenty around here who do that all the time.

Ready to prove their manhood by going out in any weather, believing their over sized pickups will save them from anything.

[auntAgonist]

7. well see IF I didn't need my job, I would stay home but, ...

My boss isn't that kindhearted and I must drive regardless.

[taterguy]

12. Sorry to hear about your disability

:hug:

[auntAgonist]

13. disability? Why is my having a job

that requires me to be there a disability?

and FYI I held a CDL for 26 years and I have driven in all kinds of weather. I do agree that if it's not necessary to drive in bad weather folks should stay home.


were you trying to be sarcastic?

aA

[taterguy]

14. When roads are dangerous I walk to work

Apparently you don't have the ability to do that

Or maybe you just don't own a good pair of boots.

:shrug:

[datasuspect]

15. are you 15 years old?

[taterguy]

16. Not many jobs available for 15 year olds

[auntAgonist]

17. I work 45 mins from home.

walk? Why are you being a jerk? And no we can't move. My husband's job is 45 mins in the opposite direction.

:shrug:

You really didn't need to be such a smart ass.

[Fran Kubelik]

33. I think the need to piss off people for no good reason is a disability

I am really sorry for you. :hug:

[taterguy]

37. As if it's my fault that not everyone gets my jokes

:hug:

[Fran Kubelik]

39. Oh I understand

And it's a truly tragic disability to feel the need to insult people as a form of entertainment...and to somehow think it's supposed to be funny.

[Ghost in the Machine]

9. The irony is just too thick...

" You wouldn't believe how many morans I saw when I was driving back from the mountains today."

Was the irony intentional or unintentional?

:shrug:

[taterguy]

10. You tell me

[tigereye]

11. someone hit a pole on the other side of the expressway when I was on my

way to my office. I wish people would slow down when the conditions aren't so good.

[PeaceNikki]

18. You wouldn't last a single winter in the upper midwest.

:rofl:

[meow2u3]

19. The only reliable mode of transportation during an ice storm

[taterguy]

20. Do those work on gravel roads?

What happens when the ice melts / gets salted?

[meow2u3]

22. I was kidding

just forgot the smilie. :)

[taterguy]

23. I was kidding too

I remembered the smilie but chose not to use it.

[Inchworm]

24. I need beer!

Waiting for the perfect moment to leave now.

:hi:

[taterguy]

28. Need or want?

:toast:

[Inchworm]

35. yes

true

:P

:toast:

[pokerfan]

34. always a good reason

The church is near but the road is icy;
the bar is far but I will walk carefully.
-- Russian Proverb

[Inchworm]

36. I'm going to get that tattoo'd

on my back. ..just to mess with people :D

:toast:

[KitchenWitch]

25. Well, I am not sure of everyone's situation

But back when I lived in Minnesota, and the roads were icy, most of the work places were still open, so if I wanted to get paid, I had to show up for work. So yes, people are compelled to leave the house, even when it is icy.

[dysfunctional press]

26. yes-please do...it makes it easier for those of us know how to drive in winter.

i always get a kick out of the people in warm climates who can't do anything but spin their wheels when there's an inch of snow on the ground.

[NJmaverick]

27. I'm sure they all had very important reasons to be on the road, taking such big risks

:sarcasm:

[taterguy]

29. I was rushing home to post on DU

What could be more important?

[quakerboy]

30. Why?

My hovercar works just fine on ice, thank you for your judgementalism.

[taterguy]

31. You're welcome

[quakerboy]

32. It runs on Air, dontcha know.

[LeftyFingerPop]

38. I agree with you 100%.
