    What's funnier is watching all the tour buses full riding along thinking what a great day they're going to have. Little do they know in 10 minutes their world just got shut down.

    I get immediate notices from our in-house alert system and the husband.
    They have no idea...

    Meanwhile, in town 35 miles back, the CalTrans sign says No Yosemite Access. Yet they keep driving... and then they get al the way there to be turned around by a Ranger. Once back in town they park everywhuchfuckin way because their gps doesn't know WTF to do.

    I'm curious how you'd have them do it differently given there's apparently not a proper bike rack to lock the frames to?

    So I guess this is acceptable if you're an asshat.

    I'll have to take a picture next time I am there, but basically you pick the front wheel up over the bar and rest the frame of the bike on the top of the bar. Then you lock the frame to the bar. That way they are perpendicular to the bar and you can fit a ton in on it.

    We really need to start retesting people regularly to keep their drivers license. There are far too many twatwaffles that are either completely stupid with no clue or just plain arrogant

    Honestly, the ignorant bothers me more since most of the driving/parking laws haven't changed much in the last few decades

    Every day, when I pick up my son from daycare after work, I see assholery left and right. It's unbelievable.

    Thought about snapping pics, but don't want to stir shit up since I'll likely see them again.

    50 years ago, parallel parking was one of the requirements to get my license. Do they still do that?

    Yes, but unless you live in an urban area I've noticed that most cities are switching over to the "angular" parking, often ass-in.

    with as many people as I see having problems just trying to park/back-up in "normal" spots this might be a good thing

    I think the automakers have a share of the blame in creating these stupid drivers. Instead of building vehicles that reinforce the correct way to drive, they design the newer cars around our stupid population.

    -It all started with the "idiot light" for fuel, because the needle in your fuel gauge wasn't enough
    -Then we moved to tire pressure sensors, because God forbid you actually, occasionally check out your vehicle to see what king of shape it's in.
    - today, it's gotten absurd.... Blind spot sensors, automatic braking to avoid a rear end collision???? If our dumbed down population would pull their head out of their asses and put their phones down we wouldn't need this nonsense. I've lost track of how many times some fuckstick in a cage has changed lanes into my lane without so much as even turning their head to see if it's clear.

    If I ever get diagnosed with a terminal illness I think I'd seriously consider going "Mad Max" and just start thinning the stupid in the herd.

    Especially love that one commercial where the car auto brakes because the lady behind the wheel almost ran over a pedestrian in the crosswalk. HELLO! Does this excuse you from having to actually look out your windshield?

    Yup...the message we are sending is "don't worry about paying attention to the road and what's going on around you, your new car will do it for you" SMDH

    At the rate the general populations stupidity seems to be multiplying maybe its not a bad idea if all cars become "self driving"

    I used this example when I was teaching criminal justice (in Florida)

    People from MI RI NY PA etc retire and move south at 55. They get tested and get a DL.

    Seven years later, they get a renewal in the mail go another seven years. 62.

    Repeat. 69.
    Repeat. 76.

    You get the idea. Barring no major incidents, you just pay by mail (or however old people pay).

    The system is flawed.
