The Glade 4.0

You know what I **** hate? Stupid selfish assholes in their wheelchairs who take **** to get through a door when I am trying to get in. I could use the non automatic door, but that would be inconveniencing me. ME! **** everyone that isn't me! I don't have time for that ****. I'm too god damned **** important.

And woe to those disabled douchenozzles if they take their sweet time to get through the one and only door to the establishment. Holy christ on a stick does that cheese me the hell off! I have to wait a minuscule amount of time out of my day to them? **** them! **** their lame "needs." I can walk just fine. I shouldn't have to put up with their ****.

Then they have the audacity to take up space down one of the same aisles I am shopping in?! I have to either adjust my walking pattern, or (and holy shitgod don't even get me started) that I have to wait a little longer to exit the aisle I am in because I can't get around them? **** **** that!

They don't even need that Mocha Latte from Starbucks. Not the same way I need it! They shouldn't even be here. They should all just have their little own place away from me and my perfectly selfish self so I don't have to look at them, see them, smell them, or hear them. Hell, they should just all stay at home.

**** everyone that isn't me. Because I am the only person that matters. Everyone else is a lesser being whose own personal lives, thoughts, and rights don't mean dick because they aren't me.

That bunch of sarcasm makes sense as long as you're applying it to the cyclists using up entire lanes and holding up traffic behind them. Although then you'd be a disabled guy who has intentionally chosen to block off multiple doors at once because his leisure time is more important than the other 30 people trying to get in to work.

The recreation of the one does not outweigh the needs of the many.

His need to get to point B is equally valid as your need to get to point B.

Personally, I think the police need to start handing out tickets for obstructing the flow of traffic and travelling too slowly to anyone who is slowing traffic below the speed limit and refusing to move out of the way so people can pass. There need to be minimum cruising speeds (within 5-10 KM/H of the posted maximum) that are enforced if you're going to hog a lane to yourself, no matter what type of vehicle you are in.

Points of Interest
•Alaska has a ticket surcharge over and above the fine schedule.
•A driver's license can be suspended for failure to pay a traffic ticket.
•Alaska law requires a motorhome or travel trailer/truck with more than 5 vehicles behind it to turn off the main roadway and let the traffic by.
•Motorists should always be looking for large animals (such as caribou, bear, and moose) in the roadway.

**** those large animals obstructing everyone else trying to use the road!

I'm not sure of any specific laws here, but if I'm driving on a narrow 2 lane road and have 2 or more vehicles lined up behind me, I will try to pull over and let them pass as soon as I possibly can. I am not in a hurry to get where I'm going...I tend to just enjoy the journey.

And so he intentionally chooses a method of getting there that is incredibly slow and inefficient, so that he gets there three times longer?

Furthermore, he chooses to hog a lane of traffic to himself (as is his legal right) which prevents passing, and forces everyone else on the highway to slow down to his speed. He could get over and let the long line of cars past, but he doesn't. And yet the angry people driving 20km/h stuck behind him are somehow the ones being selfish.

I'm sorry, no. His "need" isn't the same, or he'd have driven.

Even if it was the same need, his need is not equal to the needs of the 30+ cars filled with people that he's holding up behind him. And even if that were not the case, he certainly should pull over and let the cars past.

Didn't you tell me that you DRIVE from Canada to Disney World, instead of using the quickest and most efficient method of travel? Something tells me it takes at least 3 times as long to drive as it does to fly. OMGZORS HYPOCRITE!!!

If he stays to the right and allows people to pass he's doing what he can. It's then the motorists responsibility to wait (preferably without the tears) for a safe passing opportunity.

You seem to be needing to focus on a worst case scenario to make your point. 30+ cars full of people? None can pass because of 1 biker? If your argument requires this, it's somewhat telling.

You seem to be focusing on courteous bikers who stay to the side and let people past. Those ones aren't the problem ones! I've been talking from the beginning here about bikes hogging a lane to themselves. You think I'm speaking hypothetically?
