If you advocate for public transport, then you can provide these people with an adequate alternative to driving.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

More interested in bike paths but trams and trains are cool too

[–] 18107@aussie.zone 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Why not both? Trams and bike paths can work really well together.

The old dude driving slow in the morning probably doesn’t want himself to be driving at rush hour, either. Maybe if we had some kind of system where professionals planned and implemented a ride sharing systems, perhaps with planned routes and really big cars that lots of people could sit in? Maybe we even put it on rails so it uses less energy while moving?

[–] Hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 week ago

My country has this and better, no difference.

They also love shopping during the busiest times I'm the weekend. They just love wasting working people's precious free time.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think we're all shocked you're not already retired, Mickey. ;)

[–] Mickey7@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Always interesting on social media sites trying to guess if the poster is male/female and how old

[–] BananaOnionJuice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What's the Lemmy equivalent of driving around real slow?

Maybe posting 90s memes?

[–] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago

I would say boomer memes.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You have no more right to use public roads than anyone else.

[–] Azteh@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Correct, but if you can do shopping at any time, you should aspire to do it when there are as few people as possible. That goes for everyone and it also works for most non group activities, such as driving

[–] Nolvamia@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

One of my favourite things about being retired is the ability to go to the shops in the middle of the day, when it's quiet. No crowds. Parking. No rush. Bliss!

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I work mostly evenings and weekends and being able to run errands when it's not busy and do chores when flatmates aren't around makes up for it.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

5pm at the restaurant. Retirees and families with little kids.

[–] Smeagol666@crazypeople.online 5 points 1 week ago

Having been a 2nd and 3rd shifter most of my adult life, I miss going shopping in the middle of the night when hardly anyone was there.

“I’ve done my shopping at 11 am on saturdays for the last 40 years and even though the shops are packed and the selection is poor, I’m not going to consider moving to 10 on Monday instead”

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's tractors and some guy regularly riding a horse and cart round my way.

[–] EditsHisComments@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Lmao sounds like where I grew up in Mississippi. Farmers everywhere, but quite a few Mennonites and Amish too

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

Retire? Fucking hilarious!

[–] psoul@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Get rid of your car. Problem solved.

I have never commuted by car, but I plan to get a car when I retire so I can drive around in the mornings.

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

a bunch of old geezers cruising the local 'strip' from 7-9am just like we used to back in high school at night on the weekends.

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (3 children)

I don't have any problem with someone driving under the speed limit as long its within the legal amount. My problem is buttplugs. Buttplugs are creatures who crawl up someones ass and refuse to pass. They prevent the people behind them from legally passing and just sit there for mile after mile.

A mutation of the buttplug is the plugipede. Where you have mulitple buttplugs all up each others ass and content to follow one another at less than two car lengths apart.

I never blame the guy going five under at the front.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 week ago

butt plugs with LED headlights, no less

nothing makes a tired annoyed version of me happier before dawn than going extra slow just to piss off the asshole riding my ass with LED headlights lighting up my whole cabin

*to clarify, the situation I am talking about is where I'll be doing my usual up-to-20% over the speed limit minding my own business on my way to wherever in the morning, and some jackass with LED headlights at the same height as my face comes up behind me and rides my ass for several kilometers despite multiple passing opportunities. when that shit happens, my dreary morning just got interesting and I have something to keep me entertained

And also ignore pedestrians, even though they just stared in my soul while waiting them to stop (but they just slowed down and didn't stopped)

[–] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

I just retired, and my wife still complains that I drive too fast. I'm joining a gym next week and getting back into writing and fermenting, and so won't have much time to annoy Frank Freeway during his commute from hell.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Like anyone gets to drive at speed during commuter time.

It's the same guy!

Automobiles are a toy. If you're an adult with actual responsibilities and you need to be somewhere on time, take the train.

[–] Ryanmiller70@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 week ago

The only train between my house and work is a cargo train and I don't want to hitch a ride like a homeless dude trying to see the countryside (not to mention it takes over an hour to walk to anywhere near those tracks when it only takes 30 minutes to drive to work when traffic isn't fucked).
