A request

Dear morons who also happen to be my neighbors,

Please do us all a favor and turn on your brain at the same time you turn on your car. I mean, I know it must be terribly confusing for you, but I'll make it simple: if you see a stop sign at the intersection of two roads, it means you're supposed to stop. Shocker, right? And in case you're unsure what a stop sign looks like, it's a red, hexagonal sign with, you guessed it, the word STOP. I really don't think it's too much to ask, do you? All I want is to be able to drive down my street without wondering if today will be my last day on earth. So no more tapping the brakes, or throwing a cursory glance down the road, or even barreling right on through. Just stop at the stop sign.

Your neighbor,
Becky

So dangerous. We were almost hit recently by a woman going 50 through the stop sign. My quick reflexes and amazing driving skills totally saved us that day. But, I should probably give God some credit, too.

I'm sure they will totally do it.

AMEN!!! I'm guessing your talking about Ridgewood and Ashford??? Because when I drive it, when I got my Drivers Liscense out of the cracker Jack box, I did learn that small detail...Red means Stop, Green means go, and yellow means GO FASTER :) (That's what Kurtis said in preschool when they were learning colors, nearly 5 years ago) and I learned how to read STOP too :) So be glad that you will die because I'm graciously glancing as I slam into you oops...j/k. honestly I do stop. I have a gripe too with the way people don't stop at a stop sign. Thanks for the post....ohh how do you cross out your words? Just wondering.

Dave said...

Dave said...

we where on a walk the other day, and my 4 yr old made us stop at a stop sign :-)

Yah... need something here too, but not for the stop sign... more for going 15 mph over the speed limit in a residential area. :P

Ohhhh beck, once again you have me rolling on the ground. Will you ever take this to a professional level? You should!

Candice said...

Alaskans seem to be a livin' on the edge kind of people. We understand that, Becky, being from Idaho and all.

Lara said...

I certainly don't think it's too much to ask. Maybe alert the traffic cops that there is a problem there...

I'm glad you're having a good hair day, though!

I am laughing so hard right now. Don't we all have at least one neighbor like that?
