View Full Version : Isn't it ironic? Janice Johnson 01-21-2006, 07:59 PM How people go faster when they see a yellow light, when they should be slowing down? How the homely geek you rejected in high school is now America's Most Valuable, Wanted Bachelor/Bachelorette? How you park on the driveway, but drive on the parkway? Kazza 01-21-2006, 08:01 PM How people go faster when they see a yellow light, when they should be slowing down? It really depends what distance and speed I'm traveling. ;) Hollow 01-21-2006, 08:03 PM How people go faster when they see a yellow light, when they should be slowing down? that's quite an overgeneralization, but it would be for psychological reasons. How the homely geek you rejected in high school is now America's Most Valuable, Wanted Bachelor/Bachelorette? huh? How you park on the driveway, but drive on the parkway? you do both on both. Janice Johnson 01-21-2006, 08:10 PM Ignore this post.

No, I've seen people zoom by fast when they see yellow lights. They look like they are competing in a contest to be the next "Speed Demon". I meant that sometimes the geek you rejected in high school turns out to be majorly wanted model/sex symbol, that almost everyone wants, because they grew up to be very good-looking. The parkway/driveway thing was a joke. People say it when they are bad stand-up comedians.;) G-Force Glockstar 01-21-2006, 08:33 PM How people go faster when they see a yellow light, when they should be slowing down? My bus driver does that all the time! How the homely geek you rejected in high school is now America's Most Valuable, Wanted Bachelor/Bachelorette? Not in HS yet How you park on the driveway, but drive on the parkway? I don't drive yet Sharop 01-21-2006, 09:43 PM Sorry about this, I couldn't resist. "What does a yellow light mean?" "Slow down." "Okay. What...does...a...yellow...light...mean?" "Slow down!" "Okay! Whaat...dooes...aaa...yeellow...liight...meean?" "SLOW DOWN!" "Whaaaat doooesss...aaaaa....yeelloow...liiigghht...meeeaan?" :lol: *Pleasant Tomorrow* 01-21-2006, 09:45 PM I notice the thing about the yellow light. My mom does it, and I'm always tempted to do it. It's like an impulse. Steve M. 01-21-2006, 10:09 PM Sorry about this, I couldn't resist. "What does a yellow light mean?" "Slow down." "Okay.

It's vital to go faster when I see a yellow light otherwise I wouldn't make it through the intersection before it turns red. :crazy: And I'm pretty sure Zach ****** will never be America's most valuable anything.

I know exactly what you are talking about. My sister and I have talked about this subject before. In reality, they are speeding up so they don't have to be stuck waiting on the red light for an extra...um...four or five minutes until it's green again.
