Being the first vehicle at a red light...

[RoBoTeq]

....just makes everyone think you are a wuss!

I hate being the first person at a red light. Even if it was three other cars that went through the light ahead of me and traffic from the other direction had already entered the intersection, you know that everyone that passes by you thinks you wussed out and did not go through the light.

I hate being the first one there because they all try to run you over NO MATTER HOW FAST YOU GO. So I go so slow that they all get pi$$ed and pass me. I don't care. I drive like an old man. I just need to retrofit my car with weapons. I actually have this idea for a bucket of nails mounted up underneath, attached to a string, that I could pull...well you get the idea.

Especially when you stop and a horse and buggy goes past you.

If you are worried about what anyone else thinks, you are a wuss.

Well, I can't believe I'm saying this, but I agree.

I was out driving a company vehicle once and someone called to complain about the maniac on the road. I really don't know what I was doing that got the call but maybe I cut someone off and didn't realize.

I was back at the office already when the call came in and they transfered the angry lady right to me. I never told her I was the driver, just assured her I would fire the guy immediately.

She kept backpeddling, didn't want anyone to loose thier job but I stood firm, "that guy is getting fired and thank you for your call. Have a nice day."

I love being the first one at a light. I dont have to wait for all of those slow bastards in front of me , that are talking on the phone, go when the light turns yellow


When I am not the first one at a light, I wait untill the right turn lane is open and then i will move to the front and when the light does change color I get the hole shot and go around everyone in line

except those new Diesel trucks, they can be hell out of the hole

first at the light is for drag racing.

So YOU are the idiot that I deal with at every stop light.

I like being 1st. It just eliminates someone in front of me that has 1 of those thumping sterios in their car.

I doubt anyone seeing you stopped first in line at a red light thinks you're a wuss. Rather, they're more likely happy you didn't blow a red light and plow into them...the same people who usually gun it right when their light turns green.

And why should I worry about someone seeing me sitting there first in line at a red light thinking I'm a wuss as they fly by me? I don't know that fleeting soul from Adam and even if I did, anyone who'd use that form of judgment to ascertain my masculinity is not someone I'd really want to bother being around.

Are you still bitching about life in Hooterville??
Did ya pay the ticket yet?

I love driving in Colorado Springs, 70 mph between the stop lights and you never if the guy in front of you is going to stop on yellow or not.

Ryan, you mentioned nails. I had a neighbor that lost a full box of roofing nails on a 4 lane highway several years ago. He had them on a flat bed trailer and they fell out the back. He stopped and tried picking them up while cars were flying by. I always wondered how many flat tires he caused.

I'm still running for the Presidency. This is just another feather in my cap for reasons to vote for me; I won't run a red light as long as there are vehicles already entering the intersection!"

What more compassion and fairness could you ask of a candidate?
