Don’t you hate it when those people who direct traffic around road construction do that thing where they simultaneously hold up their “SLOW” sign and wave at you frantically to hurry up? What the fuck!
If there’s one thing I took away from my college orientation, it’s to never send mixed signals by playing coy; if you say slow, mean it. Doing otherwise perpetuates date rape. And I’ll say it right here, the last thing I want to do is date rape a traffic control woman. They’re all so… haggard.
The other day one of those gals held out her palm at me as in “stop.” Then after the truck was out of the way she brought up her hand again in virtually the same manner. This time the hand was a “thanks” wave. It seems we need to restructure.
