Sounds like Michiganders.
I would tend to agree with you, but most of the plates are from out-of-state.

My hot water heater sprung a leak yesterday while I was autoX'ing.
The shut off valve on the inlet is stuck open
I have to use the main which means no water in the whole house

Except when some cars turn around and bite you back. . . . really hard.
But usually then I can only blame myself... which I would much rather do.

Sam, I used to get similar comments about my third-gen Eclipse during high school. The irony was that they usually came from kids driving (made in Canada) Pontiacs in regards to my (made in Bloomington / Normal) Eclipse.

Chicago traffic! ARGH!!!! How can you have 5 lanes of traffic moving in one direction, not have an accident or other major blockage, and yet be stopped going anywhere between 0-10 mph in the heat of the day for an hour and a half?! The express lanes were closed and then an extra lane over there as well merged over. So two lanes of traffic was trying to squeeze into three, all the while insane drivers were adamant about moving forward so they'd cut off anyone and everyone just to be in the lane that was moving a half mile and hour faster than the one they were in.


And Illinois/Indiana Trolls! *bleep* YOU Trollways! HAHAHA!!

Ha! Explain to me how that's a squeeze? Chicago drivers really do suck if they think two lanes going to three lanes should cause the need to slow down!












Of course I'm just kidding, I know what you meant to say.

No, it wasn't a typo. Think about it for a minute-

5 lanes of traffic is squeezing into 3. That means two less lanes of traffic. So I was correct in saying 2 lanes trying to squeeze into 3, because those 2 lanes were disappearing and there were 3 remaining lanes. I wont deny that I could have worded it better, but I didn't care. I was venting.

He's from Wisconsin. Don't let his communication skills reflect on Chicago.
