  • Who the Frell speeds in a parking garage??

    Pretty much what the title says, though I didn't witness it.

    Last night while going over a mountain of emails, I happened on this notice from our building property management. It seems last Friday someone was speeding in the parking garage and almost hit someone. The person was shaken up, but not hurt.

    I wanted to reply to the email with just that: Who the Frell speeds in a parking garage?? Possibly followed by where oh where do these people get their licences from?

    But there is an upside. They're already underground, so they're already close to their destination. Namely six feet under.

    Where I live, apparently everyone except me speeds in the parking garages.

      QFT. I think the idea of tight turns and ramps in an enclosed space with pedestrians and parked cars brings out the "Carmageddon" in people... I also think most people are bone stupid.

          Thanks. Can't for the life of me figure out how I made that bad of a typo...

            People would speed everywhere. I forget how many times I've nearly gotten run over by people who confuse parking lot with I-94....

              Around here, they speed down Wendover Avenue like it's a dammed speedway. Even worse is the intersection at My Road is on top of a hill - you can't see what's coming until it's almost right on you.

              Lost count of how many accidents there have been at the intersection just below my house b/c of idiots failing "Beat The Light."

              Last accident we had ripped up a sign in the median and tore up concrete - how nobody was killed (the vehicle who tore down the sign and the median flipped their car) is beyond me.

                Modern automotive engineering IS rather good on this point - cars will crumple up like tinfoil to redirect crash energy around the people inside. Quite amazoing, really.

                  We had a group of consultants at my job for... I don't know, and I really don't care. Most of them were OK, but the ringleader was the one of the most arrogant pricks I had ever met. It took people less than a minute to take a disliking to him, myself included.

                  One day, I was in the parking garage walking to my car, and this car flew right past me. Had to be doing at least 40, and the speed limit in our garage is 5. I managed to get a good look at the occupants. It was the group of consultants, with the ringleader at the wheel. Oh, and another time, they couldn't find a parking spot, so they made their own parking spot right in front of the elevator.
