There's roadwork on one of the interstate exit ramps/bridges about 5 miles away from here. I got stuck in traffic because of it today.
Which leads me to this rant.
Why in the hell do construction crews decide to close sections of road for 10 mins at a time right in the middle of rush hour? What are they thinking??? Isn't it common sense to do it at some other time, when there's less traffic to back up??? It was so bad this evening, vehicles were backed up onto half a mile of the interstate slow lane both east and westbound, and a good mile on the service road that passes over the interstate. It was dangerous; I ended up calling my friends at law enforcement dispatch and asking them to send a patrol out to assist the fucking morons with flags and those tin stop/slow signs.
Which leads me to the second part of my rant. Why so they always give the dumbest ones the flags and signs? The ones who have no fucking clue on how to wave traffic, who have no experience with controlling traffic flow, and who just stand there with the fucking signs in their hands whilst cars and trucks keep in piling up?? They there were this evening, trying to yell across the lines of cars to each other about who should wave next and from what direction. It made me want to get out and rip the signs out of their hands and start waving cars myself, just to keep things moving.
Arrrggggghhhhhhhhh!!!!! I hate morons with flag!!!!! I detest construction crews who have their heads up their asses and who disrupt rush hour traffic as much as they possibly can!!!!
There, I feel better now.
Here endeth the rant.
