the_gneechI would like to add these corollaries to the "Hang up and drive!" bumper sticker:
Hang up and park.
Hang up and walk.
Hang up and ride the elevator.
Hang up and order your latté.
Just hang up.

Date: 2006-10-30 03:57 pm (UTC)I dealt with that this morning on the way to work. Person is in the center lane... left and right turn lanes clearly marked... and they just start slowing down. There are nine cars in each lane, waiting for traffic to clear. It's a green light. Then, the car in front of me comes to a slow crawl. Less than 5mph. I tap the horn lightly (the speed limit is 45), and they just kinda wave their hand at me. So... I lay on the horn, and they wave some more as if to say "Alright, alright, alright... but you know you made me miss my turn!" They then proceeded to weave all over the three lane highway, left and right, looking for the nearest exit to take - at 65 mph.
So yes, it's obviously too difficult a concept to grasp. Just like the guys in the leftmost lane of the Washington DC beltway who suddenly race across 5 lanes of 65mph traffic to get to their exit, which they just realized is 200 feet ahead of them. "OOPS! MY BAD!"
*fox pounds head on desk repeatedly*
But it beats driving in Boston...

Date: 2006-10-30 04:33 pm (UTC)Caught this one at my last trip to San Jose, CA. Guy in the line ahead of me for the rental car was in a heated conversation. His turn at head of the line came up, and he walked up to the agent still immersed in conversation.
The agent asked him SEVERAL times for his driver's license, whether he had a reservation, etc., and he just waved him away and kept talking to his phone while others in the line behind him grew more and more frustrated.
The agent finally gave up, went to another counter position, and took the next customer.
The pay off? About 30 seconds after the agent did this, the fellow ended his call. And then he had to wait until the agent cleared the customer he was currently working with before the "can't be bothered" cell-phone dude got taken care of - - about 4 minutes of standing around looking dumb.
PS: There WERE muted "good show!" and "jerk" comments from the queue when the agent swapped windows and took the next client!
