If you are a road construction worker and reading this...Follow

...make your fUcking time. You cUnt faced, **** licking dredges of society and your assclown "foremen" can die in a burning building. Then stuff your useless ashes [via road cones] up the *** of every budget making rim job council members who OKs useless road projects.

1 hour 20 minutes to drive 1.75 fUcking miles. My lunch break was great! How was yours?

You should just get a job as a road construction worker! As soon as traffic gets bad, you're at work!

I am neither a road construction worker, nor am I reading this.

Proably not. I was suprised to see the statistics show that only about 50% of Americans have an internet connection in thier houses. I forgot where I saw this exactly, but it was pointed out in a article about online banking where the banks wanted to change something and people were not pleased.

I honestly thought the percentage would be higher seeing that a social worker friend tells me how the government buys drug addicts in rehab computers and pays for thier internet access so they can finish thier schooling.

Road construction pisses me off when they "fix" a road that's essentially a funnel point for much of the traffic, yet is still in perfectly fine driving condition.

Then I get to a pothole-filled sideroad that causes my head to be smacked on the ceiling every few seconds or so...

Why is it the workers fault?

You know the best way to get those potholes fixed? Find put wether it is a city, county, or state roud, then e-mail a very detailed description of the pothole to them with a request that they fix it. Once that e-mail exists, they have to fix it for you as a taxpayer. As long as no record exists, they can pretend it isn't there. Make sure you use words like suspension damage, jarring, neck pain after driving the road, etc. Don't mention lawsuits though. It should get taken care of in about a week.

Thats the absolute Shit of it. A three lane highway was diverted onto an off ramp, at the end of the ramp you had traffic coming perpendicular so the cars being detoured couldn't turn left or right. Heaven forbid they had someone down there directing traffic.

Construction workers have budgets? I always assumed the state DOT handled that.

Hey I got a question.

How long do you think the commute would be from downtown Naperville to St. Charles?

Hell, they have the 55 bridge over the Des Plains river down to one lane on the Southbound side.

Traffic backs up all the way to I-80 every fucking day.

Thank god for 53. I got a black car and no A/C.

Could be worse, you could be commuting through the tunnels of Boston and find out first hand what a shoddy job those guys do.

Living in a small town makes for better road workers in my experience. It's hard to hold up a shovel when another regular from your favorite bar is yelling at you to get to work. If you see a road closed, it's usually open again in a day or two.

When the highway to the north falls off the cliff every other year, it's usually back ready for traffic in less than a month.
