So recently I have been aggravated by people's driving habits. People should really step on their gas pedal harder.
I don't mean that I think people should speed, I think speeders in general are more self centered and tend to finger you more if you get in their way. But I mean when a light turns green don't take 10 seconds to clear the intersection.
I know it probably isn't everybody, heck in my city it is probably about 30% of the population that launches this slow. But all it takes is one slow person to slow an entire lane of traffic. If you look at traffic jams in my city the problem for half of them lies in the fact that only about 4 or 5 people in each lane get through with each turn of the lights. If people took off at a decent pace you could get at least 15 people through before the lights turn red. It isn't even eco friendly or easier on gas to take off that slow. If someone launches slow and 10 people who would have made it through have to wait for the light again they have to sit and idle their for another 3 minutes. Thats half an hour of idleing for every lane with every change of lights, that there is a bigger waste of fuel then how much it would cost to just take off at a faster pace. Never mind how much time it wastes of everyones day to have to sit through the same light 2 or more times.

Yeah that, and KEEP A DISTANCE ffs, I'm sick of people wanting to drive inside my car. One day I'll slam the brakes on and say there was a cat crossing the road. I'm not the one going slow either, people are way too stressed out in traffic.

for those ppl I like to tap the brakes just light enough so the lights go on but my car doesn't slow down. That usually keeps em off my tail for a couple blocks.

Brings me to my rant topic. Imperial units. Seriously, what's wrong with you? A yard is 13 feet which is pi inch or whatever, and a horse power is speed times pull times some random factor pulled out of a horses arse. It's not just that I always have to be like "Okay, I have to multiply that by 1.6 to find out how fast it's really going". It's also that the relations of the units to each other make no sense at all. How do you get any calculation done at all? Special mention goes out to Fahrenheit, with a scale from a completely random point to another completely random point.
So drop that shit, and use the scientific alternatives. Sure, it'll takes time to get used to it, but it's worth it because it is superior. That's a fact.
And while we're at it, what idiot decided that an hour had to contain 3600 seconds? Yes, it's what we're all used to, but let's be honest: It's completely useless once you want to calculate anything.

I agree its a damn pain to constantly be converting, and I am taking engineering in Canada we constantly have to use both imperial and metric systems. It's a tiresome process that continually requires double checking.
