so the school i go to is is wauwatosa, WI, which is a suburb about 4 miles west of downtown milwaukee. its a pretty nice place to live, and i live pretty close to school.
theres a main street called wisconsin ave that runs east-west and pretty much runs straight from my school all the way to the lake (michigan). its also one of the main streets through downtown milwaukee, so its relatively busy especially around rush hour.
but by where i live, its all residential, so its a 30 MPH street thats one lane. and since theres schools and houses around the street, its a relatively wide street. theres also street parking on both sides of the road and a bus route on the street, so the road needs to be wide for these reason.
at night, when its not busy and no one is parking on the street, its like the freeway of residential streets. BUT ITS STILL ONLY ONE LANE. yet every wahoo in the world likes to think its two lanes. they pass people waiting at red lights because they think the rules dont apply to them. the pass people on the right. they insist on driving 45 MPH even though its a residential area.
ive made it my own personal vendetta to stop these maniacs and ive become very good at it. last night im at a red light and a guy pulls up on my right. he thinks hes gonna pass me. hes not. i know these streets, i know these lights. i time them perfectly. 1 second before our light turns green i floor it. he has no chance. can't pass me. but this guy is crazy. he tries to pass me on the right. i pull a NASCAR move and block him. HE GOES INTO THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC LANE TO PASS ME. i block him again.
after a struggle for awhile, he gives up and tucks in behind me. not today sucker, not today.
). So this guy gets his butt hairs all criss-crossed and starts fuming to some higher up.. They come to my desk and demand that I fix the script and that anything I'm working on can wait. I said, "Sure, No problem since I have your approval, lets just go to your desk and let me watch how you put the data in so I can understand the issue better."
