That probably has more to do with the fact that the Waldvogel Viaduct is down to one lane, and it is a giant clusterfuck when it's operating normally. If I still worked downtown, I'd avoid that thing like the plague. We took it today to get to the Reds game and at 1130 it was still a backed up nightmare and no one seems to know which lane they need to be in to get on 75, 5th Street or 2nd Street. If there isn't an accident on that thing daily, then it's simply because of the grace of God. There is no way, unless there is no traffic, that anyone can build up any amount of speed on the viaduct when it's one lane, people are rubber necking like they've never seen construction before, and there are 4 exits within a few feet of each other.
Although, in general people just cannot drive. They're either just bad drivers to begin with, or they're too busy texting, reading, talking, preening, or any other number of things. We were out shopping at Kenwood on Saturday and it seems that for as much as eastsiders spend on their BMWs, Mercedes, and Land Rovers, they would get turn signals with them. We drive Hondas and both of our vehicles have them, but apparently when you start moving up the cost ladder, turn signals are either unavailable or just too pricey to add.

The guy in the gym who stands right in front of the weight rack to do his exercises.
Why? Do you think standing closer will make your "muscles" look bigger? Take a few steps back so other people can grab the weights you are standing right in front of!

I know I ranted once about this in this thread, but people taking pictures/videos with cell phones at concerts.
The guy in front of me at the taft must have taken 50 pictures with his cell phone. He kept shaking his head because the pictures weren't in focus, so he'd try again. He messed with the settings over and over and just kept trying to take a picture.
Hey asswipe! You're taking a picture in a dark theater with a camera with a 2mm lens that phisically requires to you touch the screen hard enough to move the camera. It's not your settings.
The guy behind us kept taking pictures with his cell phone with the flash on. We were in the 12th row. That flash wasn't getting farther than 3 rows. All it was doing was annoying other people.
I miss no photography rules. It was distracting as hell. I actually thought about knocking the guy's phone out of his hand during the encore when he started recording a video.
Please, please explain to me when you are ever going to watch that shitty ass cell phone video of what was an awesome performance that you missed because you watched it on your cell phone."Give a toast to my brother, hug your family, and do everything possible to live the life you dream of. God Bless."

When the bottom of your foot itches and you have a shoe on. I find myself stomping on the ground because I'm too lazy to reach down and take my shoe off and just scratch it. Never works though.
