So I'm on my way to work during the morning's busiest times. Driving down a steep road I come across a sign for temporary traffic lights. Obviously work being done on the road.
I slowed down and found a huge portion of the road was traffic coned off, and the cones continued around a blind corner. Looking at the lights, they weren't on at all.
I waited a short while and nothing was coming so I decided to go. Made my way around the corner, another car behind and suddenly I see the other side of the obstruction with cars starting to move up (despite seeing me and a car behind blocking the lane. I managed to squeeze into the 'give way' area of a close (which renders the lights useless anyway if anyone wants to get out) and the car behind followed.
The stupid old bat who didn't even check to see if the road was clear stopped at 45 degrees to my right. Directly to my right were two cowboy road diggers with a pneumatic drill. I rolled down my window and said,
"Oi, your lights aren't working"
The one with the big gay mustache grinned and said, "Yes they are, you jumped the lights"
"You really think two cars would jump the lights on a blind bend?"
He nodded again and said, "They're working"
Right, so instead of walking around the corner and investigating what could have potentially caused a nasty accident he just decided to ignore the warnings and carry on digging his small hole.
In the end, I decided to drive up onto the pavement and go around the silly bat blocking the road. She may have had right of way as far as the lights were concerned, but only when the road ahead is clear.

Polk county, Florida. When traffic needs to be stopped traffic lights are usually a safe way to stem the flow, but when traffic lights go wrong THERE CAN BE DISASTEROUS CONSEQUENCES.
A live hand grenade would have been more satisfying.
you should have popped a cap in his ass.
