Maybe Not The Questions Of Life But Why

Question MarkAs I wander through life certain things seem unfathomable – maybe it’s just me but here we go.

  • Why do people slow down for a green light?
  • When there is a bike lane why do bicyclists insist on riding in the traffic lane?
  • Even worse why when bicyclists are in the bike lane do they move to the traffic lane when traffic approaches from the rear?
  • Bicycle riders demand all of the rights of the road but why do they not feel required to obey the rules – stop signs, semaphores and the like?
  • Many grocery stores have lines for those with a few items, typically around nine or so. But inevitably someone with a full shopping cart uses that line. Why? Is it because they; can’t count, feel entitled, it’s the shortest line, just don’t care or all of the above? Your choice.
  • Why when sitting waiting for the light to change do some motorcyclists, and inevitably those with an already loud motorcycle, feel compelled to crack the throttle making a noisy and uncomfortable situation even worse?
  • If your car was half as loud as some motorcycles you would get a “Fix-It” ticket. Why not the same for motorcycles?
  • Why do semi truck drivers insist on attempting to pass another truck on uphill grades?

I am sure you have your examples of what amounts to some people’s disregard for others, which more than likely explains most of the items on my list. Send them to me and I will keep an updated list going and publish it now and then.
