So one of the main North-South roads in my area is under long-term construction. They began in early June, and based on their progress, should be done sometime in mid-late 2019 (can't do much once the snow starts falling). I say "main" because it's the street that has City Hall, police station, fire station, library, and high school on it. They're taking the road all the way down to the base, replacing storm drains and sewers, and rebuilding it, one lane at a time. Since it's only a two lane road, they have it restricted to one way southbound from the local highway entrance north to the end.
Last night, Mrs. Crossbow and I were headed to dinner, driving south on said street. We got to the underpass for the highway, and some idjit in a minivan calmly goes around the huge ROAD CLOSED signs to drive northbound in my lane. I hit the brakes and lay on the horn (Thank you, bridge, for amplifying my anemic little toot-toot. Really need to put a 100db airhorn in my car...) and she finally notices that she's about run head-on into me. She stops, backs up, and turns down the same side street I need, giving me nothing more than an "Oops! Sorry!" wave.
Sorry, you stupid asshat, but yes, those signs do apply to you. And you might have figured that out sooner if you looked up from your cellphone once in a while.
Hey, at least I was awake for the rest of the drive to dinner...
