Annoyances

Right now one of my annoyances is the drivers who insist on turning left in the reconstruction of the 15th and Utica intersection in spite of all the "No Left Turn" signs.  I try to avoid the intersection if I can because of the blind drivers.

I'm with you. That intersection is an absolute NIGHTMARE. I get road rage just thinking about it. People pulling in and out of the two gas stations there also causes a lot of headaches.

Between Lewis and Peoria use 14th Street to bypass it going East and 13th going West.

The only left turn abusers I've seen there are the ones who note there is no oncoming traffic, so, they might as well execute a left in spite of the signs. Anyone else would risk the wrath of the other drivers.

This morning about 10:30am, there was a white haired old lady driving an El Camino blocking traffic traveling north on Utica so that she could turn left.  And I see this happening all the time.  It does not matter the age of the drivers, punk a** kids are just as guilty.

White haired lady in an El Camino? I'd like to have seen that. They should park an empty police cruiser in the gas station lot.

Oh, I just met someone at Woodland Hills for lunch.  Dumbest. Idea. Ever.

They could be giving away 3.5' toothless hookers with flat heads and I wouldn't go back there.

This time of year? I don't visit any stores on 71st street. I let other people do that.

If I really had to go to JC Penney Home Store, I might, but I wouldn't drive on 71st street to get there.

When I needed to go to Sears over the weekend, I went to the one on 21st street. Why spend an hour in traffic getting to Woodland Hills when you can go to the underutilized store elsewhere in town? Same with Best Buy. I went to the Tulsa Hills location. A longer drive, to be sure, but no time wasted in traffic.

I was on 169 going S & the line to exit 71st was backed up almost to 61st.  NO WAY!!  They can have that crap.  I'll be that 3.5' tall toothless hooker & work mostly at 15th & Utica before I would fight that mess(minus the flat head...that's just degrading)

The backup getting off of 169 going north is usually tolerable.

Glad I was headed to Bixby instead of WHM

Probably not. DAMM (Drunks Against Mad Mothers) has not been able to relax the drinking and driving laws.
