WTF Wednesday || Why The Fine?
It's officially hump day. And that also means that it's WTF Wednesday. Sit back and enjoy while I tell you a little diddy about a lady, a radar gun, and a ticket. Clearly she wasn't channeling Ricky Bobby because she did not Want To go Fast
I was first introduced to this story on Monday night (I believe) and all that I knew about it was that a lady in Virginia received a ticket for going three miles UNDER the speed limit. From that little bit of information, I was extremely confused. How would one get a ticket for going barely under the speed limit? Am I supposed to just do the speed limit, nothing more, nothing less...ever!? But then I heard more about the story this morning while I was ironically commuting to work (shout out to The Kane Show).
Apparently this lady received a ticket for going three miles under the speed limit...on a highway. And not just any highway but I-95. You know, that long road that connects all east coast states. Yea, she was going three under on a highway. And did I tell you she was in the left lane? Yes, the "fast lane" was being occupied by a lady who was doing three under the speed limit during afternoon traffic. She was ticketed for impeding the flow of traffic. Fun Fact: the same thing can happen if there is a cop behind you in the fast lane and you decide to slow down to the exact speed limit instead of just moving over. I understand there was a cop out there and everyone inherently slows down when they see a cop, sometimes too late, but still slows down nonetheless. But there's a point where slow down becomes not only extremely frustrating to the drivers around you but also overtly dangerous.
I'm assuming this lady wasn't going the exact speed limit to start off with. But we'll give her the benefit of the doubt that she was doing 70 (five over the speed limit of 65). Now if she sees a cop stationed 100 yards ahead of her, she will already be at the cop within four-five seconds. Not enough time to drop eight miles an hour and not piss off someone on the road. Or maybe the person behind her was driving 70 as well and didn't predict the lady to slam on her brakes. What can occur? An accident which can result in rubber neckers which will result in congestion on the roadway which can lead to secondary crashes which causes more congestion and delays which just makes everyone a little ticked and more likley to drive dangerously just to get to where they need to go. That's what.
Doing more research the ticket was thrown out in court, but still. Don't do what she did. We'll all thank you.

Week 10-11 of 52 Weeks Savings Plan
It's currently 11:50 pm on the Saturday before daylight savings times so you know that what means? Yes, we lose an hour of sleep so that we have more daylight (less is more...right?). But that also means that we are reaching the end of week 10 and the beginning of week 11 for our 52 Weeks Savings Challenge.
I hope you remembered to put in your week 10. If not, there's still10 9 minutes to act before you're behind. And no one wants to be behind.
Need an overview of the challenge? Check it out.
And in case you are wondering, I decided to knock out week 52 during week 11. #RebelWithACause

Ride Public Transportation? Don't Be Like These People.
I take public transportation to work everyday. Some days it varies from a commuter rail to a metro to walking to even a bus. But it's public transportation all the way. And all the way I come across plenty of d-baggery, uncomfortableness, and whole bunch of wtf that I'm sure I could fill a whole book on. I'll spare you the details...for now, since Buzzfeed has done a pretty good job at summarizing most of the things I come across on a daily basis riding public transportation.
So do me a favor. Don't do anything of these things.
