I have less hope, right now at this very moment, than at any other time in my life thus far.

Yeahhhhhh I pay $150 a month to park in a garage. Reason being that my city decided that you can't park overnight on the street literally anywhere unless you have a very specific pass for that street which have all been taken and you need to spend forever on a waiting list until somebody moves basically. Even if you get them, they cost money too. $90.

Parking is a daily frustration in my life.

I went 9 years without a car, and just took the train everywhere. It sucked, but I got used to it. Then, something inside me snapped and I had to start driving again or I'd go insane. As you can see, crisis averted because driving is so much more relaxing.

I don't think enough attention was paid in driving school to yield signs. I remember in HS they were just like "Here's what a yield sign looks like. You stop sometimes. Moving on." I have one on the main road after I leave my place. A side street merges into a two lane 40mph road with ZERO lead up. It should be a stop but it's a yield and it's a daily game of "will this person stop or are they just gunna barrel into my lane?" It's terrible and I want the city to fix it but they never will.

It's funny to see the contrast of different types of drivers going from rural Illinois to the city of Chicago.

Rural Il: Oh, go ahead you first, I insist.

Chicago: Man shot after refusing to let driver merge on Dan Ryan Expressway

Pop quiz.

Four way intersection. Two way stop. You have the stop. You're stopped and a car approaches from the right to make a left. They don't have a stop. They slow down and wave for you to go. What do you do?

Shout out to all of the really nice people who do this when they have the right of way while I'm behind them.

Throw your beer at them and shout "go!"
