I quit fast food chicken nuggets cold turkey for a few years after seeing this.

Damn Wendy's 4 for $4 with spicy chicken nuggets lured me back to the dark side.

Haha, not clicking on a Youtube link that caused someone to stop eating chicken nuggets my friend.

Whatever. The bones are the most nutritious part. We just haven't evolved the mouth parts to eat them.

Holy shit am I glad I didn't click on that link.

Burger King has 10-piece chicken nuggets for $1.49 and a 20-piece for $2.99. You would save $0.01 just by ordering two 10-pieces.

The BK's in my area serve a fantastic deep-fried French toast stick breakfast all day long. 3 for a dollar. Or 5 for $3.49. What the crap! lol

Believe it or not, I've seen this IRL at my local Walmart



Not impressed because I've also seen patrons screw with the signs IRL and knew how easy that was to do even before witnessing it.

You're right - that mildly annoys me too. Things like that stand out like a sore thumb to me - I even convinced a mom&pop type place to change the prices on their chicken tenders a few years ago. 3 were $4.49, but 5 were $8.29.

What was more than mildly annoying was when the local McD's had McNuggets 4/$1. But, 6 cost $2.29 or something like that - 2 4-pieces cost less, and you ended up with more sauce.

Huh? It sounds like tou're complaining that people look for cars when making a right turn at a red light. Are they supposed to just blindly pull out into someone's right-of-way?

Only other interpretation is that you think they aren't supposed to turn right on red. That's legal and encouraged almost everywhere.

Big box stores that price larger containers at a higher price per unit than the smaller packages of the same product.

ALL grocery stores do this. Makes no sense to the consumer, but it only takes someone with an IQ of about 50 to look at the unit price and figure it out. Nine times out of ten I'd just as soon buy the smaller package anyway.

If a retailer sells 10 times volume of a certain size (probably true of many products where there's a common household size) then the larger package becomes one of convenience, not bulk. Pricing of the common size is much more competitive with other retailers, so margins will be cut smaller. You might also find that the common size is the only one that's ever offered on sale.

Driving down a four lane road in the left hand lane... a car pokes its nose out from a side street up ahead on the right and then turns into the right-hand lane just as you approach. Almost always swings into your lane. Couldn't wait three seconds until you passed by, to make easier for the both of you.

I think he means making a right on a green; the "IT'S A RED LIGHT IDIOT!" is directed at the cross traffic which would be facing a red light and, in theory, should be stopped.


....I get the anger and the logic, but it's a stupid rant for several reasons:
--maybe full stop is bad, but slowing down is always correct:
Peds crossing so you can't make your right
crazy people driving on the crossing lane--you can never be certain that a crossing car or a left turner isn't going to do something insanely stupid and smash into you. People are fucking dumb. A quick check and cautious turn is always best.

Nothing worse than waiting for a ped to cross before you make your right and the fuckstain behind you is blaring on the horn demanding that you go..."What, YOU WANT ME TO RUN OVER THE PED YOU FILTHY PIECE OF SHIT!"

....I have more colorful "words" (there are like, recordings that my friends enjoy from time to time), but my driving personality is reserved for the privacy of my car's cabin. ()

So true. When that happens I make sure to allow the pedestrian to get the entire way through the intersection and give them a friendly wave, just knowing how much more it pisses off whoever is honking.

No possible way? Running a red light is very possible, so why not spend the extra two seconds to make sure? You'd have to be a fucking Mayne to just assume everyone drives responsibly

:thumbsup:

I think I'd give the guy behind me the ol' "jerking off" motion with my hand up so he could see it. I've used it before in some other type of driving situation; just a bit more exotic than your boring old middle finger.

Back in the day... I might have done that. No more. Not with how common and how crazy road rage has become. I honestly can't even fathom how we've gotten to the point where people are shooting each other and running each other off the road for some minor or imagined driving transgression.

That's Trump driving.
