She sent you on a Costco run alone. She knew the score.

They spelled rotisserie correctly. Nice.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 hours ago

and this is why people that eat vegetables live longer, it's far less distracting to eat a carrot or apple than a juicy roricery chicken.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago

Did he have a fishing pole and towels perchance?

[–] [email protected] 44 points 11 hours ago

What is the charge? Enjoying a meal? A succulent, rotisserie meal?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I question why this person still has a valid license if they care so little about everyone else that they couldn't stay in their own lane.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

They wanted to share the chicken with the others

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

Maybe they wanted some Grey Poupon.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 hours ago

Okay but even if we forgive that, it looks like they're taking a picture of the ticket while driving.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 hours ago

Passing a drumstick to your fellow commuter in the next lane out the window at highway speeds should be part of the drivers Ed curriculum.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I had a co-worker get a warning once for eating leftover pizza. I've seen my mom eat the messiest sandwich and get off with a warning. It really depends on how many kids you have to drop off. No one fucks with a hungry momma bear.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

There's eating food and there's eating food and swerving out of your lane

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago

ok but I imagine a burrito is easier to handle than a hen

[–] [email protected] 5 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

This is literally me, I'll eat tacos while driving.

Hell last week I ate a full pizza while driving on the highway and at some point I mentally stopped when I realized I had eaten it all and said "this might be problematic"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

I hope you hit a tree and not something that is alive

[–] [email protected] 1 points 53 minutes ago

Hey that tree doesn't deserve that

Since when can't you eat and drive?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 hours ago

What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent chinese meal?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Some places will fine you even if you can demonstrably still drive perfectly well even to do complicated maneuvers, because if the law says you have to be driving in a good position to keep in perfect control of your vehicle at all times it means cops can fine you for anything.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 12 hours ago

Isn't it more about the reaction times to unplanned things?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 14 hours ago

When it makes you swerve into another lane?

It's a skill issue.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 17 hours ago

Exchange rotisserie chicken for entire homemade pecan pie, and yeah.

[–] [email protected] 85 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Its funny and all, but this guy is a fucking danger to society, and proud of it

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

There are so many people like this. Even here in this thread.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago

He even took the picture while still driving. Imagine veing crippled for the rest of your life because some fatass needs to eat a whole chicken while driving.

[–] [email protected] 69 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (3 children)

MFs like this are why we really need public transit. This dude is sharing the road with everyone else while he's trying to eat chicken and shitpost. He could be doing that without endangering everybody else (though he's probably deservedly catch some shit about eating a rotisserie chicken tbh) on a train.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 13 hours ago (3 children)

Naw he needs to stay on the road. I aint trying to be smelling everyones full meals on the train home.

I say as my citys public transit, which is poorly/corruptly run, is about to lessen services even further. Sad times.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago

Might not smell too bad by itself, but then it combines with the lingering hobo piss and someone smoking ditch weed.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago

Okay. Be stays in the road, but I don't want to be in the road with him, so we still need that public transit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 13 hours ago

Howdy pardner, maybe Strong Towns can help? Look and see if there's a local chapter for your city and reach out to them. If not, start one! It's pretty easy, they have a lot of great resources to support you, and getting a group started is as easy as showing up to a few city councils and networking with other speakers or putting a flyer up at the library or local coffee shop!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

he’s probably deservedly catch some shit about eating a rotisserie chicken tbh) on a train.

I dunno... is he sharing? And can I get a drumstick?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

As a typical American with little public transit experience, I'm right there with you. My understanding from people who do use public transit, though, is that eating a meal on the metro is a heresy deserving of immediate and excruciating death.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Its a sensory thing IMO. You're subjecting a captive audience to smells that may linger. Not to mention potentially making a mess for someone else to clean up

[–] [email protected] 6 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Just going at a rotisserie like Cookie Monster would be rude, but regular riders learn to ignore most things, so I doubt anyone would say anything.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 13 hours ago

That mental image, Jesus christ

[–] [email protected] 6 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

In general, yeah. But it really depends; if it's a mom and her kid, or if it looks like someone shuttling between multiple jobs and this is the only time they have, then I'd give em a pass.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago

Fuck that. It's a slippery slope. I'd argue public spaces like that need to serve their purpose singularly to be effective and useful to the public. It's hard enough to run a transit system, being a mobile cafeteria in addition will only serve to degrade an already precarious service. Not to mention it's incredibly rude to subject your fellow riders to the accompanying crumbs and grease, no matter your own circumstances.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah. Many don't understand that at least 15% of drivers should have their license revoked. But we can't do that when there are no viable alternatives. So instead they get to roll the dice daily until they maybe kill themselves or others.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 18 hours ago

"other people are bad drivers" isn't that hard of a sell tbh. The problem comes when you try to suggest alternatives.

[–] [email protected] 115 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Did he take the Pic while driving?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 17 hours ago

I mean he looks pretty stationary to me 🤷

[–] [email protected] 71 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, dude didn't learn his lesson with the distracted driving.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

People like this deem themselves great drivers, and everyone around them can't drive. The officer should have taken his license instead.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

These are the people you see doing 20 under the limit in the middle lane for 5 minutes (because they're looking at their phone) while everyone passes them, then suddenly accelerate as they realize they haven't been paying attention

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 hour ago

You actually see that a lot. You're behind a car and it's slow and swirling a lot. Suddenly they speed up when they realise that they haven't checked the road in a mile or two.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 16 hours ago

This dude is definitely driving a truck, he’s got a camo hat on the dash, he’s taking photos of a receipt while driving. And he posts shit like this

This dude is doing 90 on the highway and switching lanes last minute while tailgating people, he’s definitely not cruising below the speed limit

[–] [email protected] 18 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

Pretty self-explanatory if you ask me; not to mention understandable. But a bottle of wine and a new rotisserie chicken for the wife couldn’t hurt.
