I get pretty ticked off at the people who stop before entering a roundabout when there aren't any other cars in the roundabout.
this is something that pisses me off beyond comprehension. LEARN TO ROUNDABOUT YOU IDIOTS!


Gonna win 'em all!

Just the other day, I got behind some elderly gentleman who stopped at the roundabout, looked both ways, and then waited for a car that was still at least 200 feet from the roundabout to go around in front of him. :curse:


I have seen people turn on their left blinker and go through the roundabout the wrong way.   :sdeek:

Do you guys have a favorite Roundabout? If someone asked me that question, I would definitely say Yes.

I have a favorite and a least favorite, yes.

Living on the west side of town and using the roundabout-bridge-roundabout is shear joy.

Tell you what really grinds my gears on the smart people do dumb things train.  Saw a hipster in a coffee shop today wearing a knitted winter hat (clearly wool) with a scarf and long sleeve shirt with cargo shorts and sandals talking to his hipster friends about how hot it was outside segued into a discussion of geothermal heating devices.  It was a little slice of Lawrence, Kansas in Des Moines, IA.

1. Sandals are against the rules! No open toed shoes are allowed in food service!
2. Cargo shorts disqualify him as a hipster. This guy was simple stupid.

i only get mad when people in front of me dont use the onramp/merging lane to accellerate and they merge on to the interstate at 40 mph

Once saw a police chase between RCPD and a suspect vehicle.  Sped off campus, across Manhattan Ave, down Vattier or Kearney or one of those streets and tossed a bag of weed out the window.  Complete wrecked at the roundabout, bounced off a huge tree.  Maybe it was Bertrand?  It was the 800 block, we were partying at 820 Bertrand.  Miss that place.

Technically, that is a traffic circle, not a roundabout. Pretty similar, though.

Ahh, good call.  Anyway I hoped it was a relevant story.  You just made me realize I hate traffic circles.

Regardless of whether you think Chevy Chase is a fuckwad or great, we can all agree he doesn't like traffic circles.
