You must be talking about Hamilton, cause Winnipeg ain't gettin no LRT anytime soon, if ever. The best you can do is buses.

I"m sure you are being sarcastic though Wink

3 way and 4 way stops...
Imagine putting cameras over these intersections...
You go, no you go, then I'll go, wait, it wasn't your turn...

At three and four way stops I always let the other guy go. That way we avoid the dance. But yeah, these three way intersections in malls are about as stuuuupid as it gets.

ANY intersection bugs me. It is people that do not follow the freaking manual that cause the dance. It is a simple equation!

At a 4 way stop, if everywhere arrives at the same time then the guy with the largest displacement goes first! The other cars will gesture with a middle finger as a way of acknowledging this dudes 'manliness'.

I have learned not to do the dance anymore by either:

a) resorting to the side walk, people tend to get out of a cars way on a sidewalk, or
b) pretending I do not see the other traffic, slowly proceed and hope they stop.

I drive really slow in the ultrafast lane
While people behind me are going insane

I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, such an asshole)

I use public toilets and piss on the seat
I walk around in the summertime saying, "How about this heat?"

I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole (He's the world's biggest asshole)

Sometimes I park in handicapped spaces
While handicapped people make handicapped faces

I'm an asshole (He's an asshole, what an asshole)
I'm an asshole (He's a real fricking asshole)

I have noticed a huge increase , for the better , with Winnipeg drivers, except the guy that picks me up to get to work, drives at 50KM down Portage Avenue in the left lane. He doesn't notice the 12 cars zipping past him each day, except when they cut into his lane.

Nope, heavy equipment has as much right to use the road as you do. They all have lights but they don't need a plate, only a slow moving vehicle emblem.

Can't get somewhere on time? Leave earlier. Want to get respect and courtesy on the streets? Drive an unmarked police car. :party 005:

I hate it when people slow down to make a turn from the middle lane, instead of moving into the curb lane and then slowing down.

No, it's because they think their compact car is an 18 wheeler that needs 2 lanes to make a turn. Most annoying when you see them in th curb lane and they pull half way into the middle lane to make the right hand turn.

One thing that used to annoy me (back when I still drove) was when people gave parked cars a 20-foot berth...
