So they have photo radar in a place that people speed? Crazy!

Photo radar should be put in places where excessive speed causes additional risk not where the poster above is talking about.

I thought they couldn't put photo radar in transistion zones.

Have a couple girls on our co-ed Beach Volleyball team that are pretty bad. That's not what grinds my gears though, we don't really care about how well people play, what grinds my gears is when I asked one of them if they wanted to go practice volleying in between games and she flat out refuesed, saying "No. I don't like volleying".

ITS CALLED VOLLEY-BALL FOR F's SAKE.

We basically lose the moment the other team figures out that this girl doesn't do anything but try and violently smack the ball over the net any time she gets near it. I'd say the play dies 90% of the time she touches the ball or she should be touching the ball. Like I said though, that's a-ok. The other girl I mentioned is the same but she is willing to hit the ball around, take advice and try to get better. This girls stubborn attitude and refusal to even try something to get better and stop the carnage is what drives me up the wall.

I wish we could cut her.

It really comes down to how hot they are and how low their morals are.

Agreed, if proper girls' volleyball shorts are being worn and she's playing the net (aka back facing to you and bending over lots waiting for serves), then all should be forgiven.

She's gross but her friends are 10's. Unfortunately she was there when we thought of the Volleyball idea so we had to include her.

This corporate culture compulsion to have meetings. If your email doesn't explain why it's a good use of my time, I am rejecting.

This. First, it causes traffic backup because nobody can make a right turn without having to wait for left- turners to do their thing, and it's impossible to see pedestrians as they about to cross, in the case of parking near a crosswalk.

It RGMG when I'm on the train and I'm right in front of the door to exit. I have my hand on the pole ready to push the exit button. Then some guy comes over as the train stops and pushes it ahead of me. Screw you pal. I wanted to push it.

Nope. I guarantee the first thing you would do is make a gun or make an airplane and throw it at someone.

Hah. Good times.

Or a robot. The robot was my favorite. Like Voltron.
