Road Cones.........
Theres a link between road cones and how 'fu**ed' we, as a nation really are.
The more cones.........the more fu**ed we are. If you haven't noticed the proliferation of road cones increasing lately then you are very lucky as it seems you cant move around this city without being inconvenienced, interrupted, or having you CBD carpark 'coned off' (while the road/drainage workers are lounging around on beach chairs listening to Brahms and sipping on sangria). Okay the Brahms and sangria was an exaggeration.
I know what is coming next from the council of brains........bloody 'raised crossings' which seem to be popping up everywhere around Auckland. They are coming.
While the humble road cone is the equivalent of 'flipping the bird', the raised crossing is the equivalent of a punch to the mummy and daddy button, and then while you are bending over in pain - an uppercut to the face using an 8 inch biodegradable plate full of methane reduced cow s**t.
The 'raised crossing' is the cone on steroids, as it can f**k the driver off............permanently, every day, all weather, for ever.
And I can't see the reasoning for f**king off thousands of drivers to the ratio of maybe 1 person that couldn't use the old style crossings.........you know, the old crossings that had a little ramp at each end, and you would use all your natural balance and athletic ability to not fall over those steep inclines.
Again we are dumbing s**t down to the detriment of the 'people' that actually like to get stuff done - a simple example of those 'people' would be anyone that doesn't work for the council or any transport ministry.
I'm pretty sure their thinking is "lets slow the traffic down, and the result will be slowing New Zealand down, and then we at the council will look like we work at normal average speed"...... rather than 'paraplegic snail pace'.
Back to the cones - to further my suspicion about the increase in 'cone deployment' - they seem to be decreasing the spacing in between each cone. Some say it's so they can charge more per day for 'cone hireage'.
It's actually just 'cone woking'.
Where you put out far more cones than you actually need too - just for that '1 in a million moron' that mite not know how the cone system works - this would be the same moron that doesn't know how to put on a seatbelt on when in an aeroplane (yet we still have to pay attention every time we fly to the safety videos on that extremely difficult skill).
So 1 in a million, about 5 actual New Zealanders that are so dumb, so very dumb, that they would actually drive through a cone section if it was spaced out like the good old days, and not spaced every metre like they are now.
Cone woking for those 5 people, at a financial cost to all of New Zealand.
I say 'f**k em'!!!!
If they are that dumb that they need 100 cones instead of 50 cones on the road to indicate some caution is needed, and they subsequently speed up, or drive dangerously and drive off a cliff or into a ditch - then they actually deserve to die.
They are simply too dumb to be such a continuing burden on New Zealand. So death to them, or............. they could always get a job at their local council.
Where was I..........Okay so the more cones, the more fu**ed we are, because it shows we are dumbing things down too much at the expense of New Zealand as a whole, for the sake of a few 'dispensable' folk.
It seems all a road worker has to do is step near the curb to do some work and they have coned off 1 or maybe 2 lanes with no regard to the ongoing disruptions. Hey I have an idea - do it 'off peak' you f**kers.
Am I the only one that thinks of the emissions of all those stopped vehicles. Needless hours and hours of cars just idling or moving slowly? Surely that is bad for our emissions, all those petrol engines just chugging away.
Except those superstars in Teslas and other electric vehicles - luckily they are saving the world for us. You know the ones, (and the government departments with electric vehicles), the ones who use electricity to power up their cars. You know, from the power grid, the grid that needs to have coal shipped over from Indonesia to keep going - just that dirty grade 3 coal (and don't forget to add its carbon footprint from the shipping). Oh and we pay this other country for the same resources we have in our own country - lets f**k the world somewhere else, but feel superior because we are so green in NZ.
So yeah - cones are bad and annoying.
