Have you guys been driving on a highway, get the munchies, and decide to pull off for some grub?  You see a green highway sign with a bunch of restaurants, get super excited, slap each other high-fives, get off the exit, and you have no idea where the damn they are?  You drive around the neighborhood without a clue of where to turn or how far to go. 

After a few minutes of random guessing, all shit breaks loose. Your friends turn on each other, while people in the back start claiming, "maybe it's further", "maybe it's on the other side of the road," and then you get hungrier and crankier.  Finally, you start cussing the locals, including moms packing their Prius with grocery bags, and you go back to the highway.  Admit it; we've all been there before.

Why are all those Interstate Food signs all so wrong and misleading?  Before the state posts these signs, I propose they enforce these criteria:

1) Must be within x miles from the exit (IMO - 0.5 mile)
2) Must be able to see the sign from the exit
3) Must be less than x number of turns. (IMO - one turn)

Is that too much to ask?  What is the current criteria for these things anyways?  Is it by popularity?  Sponsorship?  Quality of the food?  It sure the heck isn't the vicinity to the highway.

Has everyone noticed the extra "9" in the gasoline prices at gas stations?  The nine that makes the gas price, not a $2.09 but a $2.099.  Is it only me that thinks this is a dirty deception? 

Why can't they be normal and just put $2.10?  Must they try so hard to give the perception that it's under some threshold? How is this even legal?  In fact, I don't even know how to pay $2.099.  If I gave $2.10, do I get a tenth of a penny back?

Maybe the Snicker bars should be $0.999? 

Why, why, why in the world do people on airplanes realize that those “things” they put their hands on are something people are sitting on?!  Yes, I am talking about people who yank the seat in front of them to get up, people who walk down the aisle grabbing the top of seats, and people who lean on the tables that are attached to the seats in front of them. 

I am thinking they do it, because they don’t realize how annoying it is to others.  Please, please, please be a little more aware of your surroundings!! 

This is just enough to make me sick.

The MBTA now admits that they've been secretly cutting bus service back without publishing it in their timetables.  Lying to us.  

All the while, they've been raising fares.  This can only mean massive corruption within the organization.  Someone is skimming off the top and getting rich(er) off of us somewhere.

My solution?  Dissolve the whole organization.  Fire them all.  The entire management.  Start over. 

Holy cr@p, Boston.   I've hit at least four bone-jarring car-slamming potholes in the last two days.  Luckily no major tire or rim damage yet but each one feels like my car is going to crack in half...  You know what I mean.  Must just be a really rough winter for them.

On the plus side, I'm also noticing a lot of the giant potholes getting fixed, so I guess crews are out there doing their job.  Must just be a lot to keep up with.

Do NOT use the car wash by McDonalds on Route 28.  My friend, Tom, took his car there and his car was damaged as a result.

While docking his car with the moving plate, the attendant kept telling him to keep pulling forward.  Tom felt uncomfortable doing this since he could feel the car locked in, but he kept being instructed to move further in.  After the wash, he noticed that his tire was slashed by the moving parts.  I believe both the tire and the rim were damaged and he had to replace both of them.

Tom obviously spoke with the manager, but the store gave him a lot of trouble.  Only after a few days and several angry calls, they finally agreed to pay for the damage.  (I am not sure if Tom's being a lawyer helped the situation, as I am not sure if he ever pulled out the L card.)

In summary, I do not recommend bringing your car to that car wash.
