Rubbernecking Addiction

It’s amazing how a little bit of traffic turns even the gentlest, cookie-baking granny into a screeching banshee.

I’ve gotten used to the fact that California and traffic go hand in hand, but when the reason for a mile long standstill is nothing more than a stalled car, I get upset.

And I don’t like to drive when I’m upset.

Most rubberneckers race down streets refusing to slow down for anything, except for the chance to gawk at a typically anti-climatic accident. Ironically, these same people wouldn’t slow down for something like a pedestrian…

or a red light.

Rubbernecked, dick heads!

MOVE IT!

Can’t you get your kicks from an Bruce Willis movie instead?!

Rubbernecking has such a detrimental effect on traffic, that companies have started to take advantage of the phenomenon with the design of a heavy-duty curtain that hides any carnage from curious onlookers. These barriers are a huge advantage when it comes to reducing traffic problems since these curtains aren’t as interesting to the morbidly curious as a crushed vehicle…preferably with some severed body parts.

The only person smart enough to know that stopping is the dumbest thing you can do is the grandma. Some people are just too old to waste time on stupid crap.
