How I hate traffic..........

[Uki Chick]

Bad enough we've been experiencing such freaking cold weather, but to top it off, I haven't made it to work on time once this week. The traffic seems to get worse and worse everyday. It's taken me mininum 1.5 hours to get to work this week everyday. On a good day, it takes me 35 min. It was so bad yesterday, that I put the car in park 5 times, once for 20 min. I hate our road!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry, just had to vent a little.

Uki & Paul - got you both beat...this was my Wednesday...

Left South shore at 6:45am with son
Arrived in Cote des Neiges at 9:30am
turned around and went back to the shore...getting to work at 10am.

Usual trip to MTL and back... 45mins
Wednesday's trip - 2h45mins+30mins= 3hours 15 mins... most of it witha screaming child in the backseat

That'll teach you to live on the south shore. I was ready to just turn around and go home.

Wouldn't mind visiting Tulsa, as to 71st and Hell, well no thanks!!!

Tulsa's pretty nice. I enjoy it. But we made it on the list for most dangerous intersections twice. 71st & 169 is much more dangerous and tough to get through than the one that made the list - 71st & Memorial.

One night it took Dustin and I well over an hour to go just under two miles from 71st & Memorial to 71st & 169.

I try to never go to 71st street unless I have good reason - such as a mall shopping trip or something. And when I do have to go, I try to do as many things at 71st as I can so I won't have to go back as soon.

Is the traffic jam because of the snow or because of a large construction project?

How can there be any traffic in Quebec? Quebec license plates outnumber Florida license plates 4 to 1 at the beach right now . . . it seems that more than half of Quebec's autos are down here . . .

1.5 hours, what's the distance?

But don't you get weather like that every year in Canada? It's sounding more like South Carolina every day...

Uki, Paul, Bish, you're all wannabees. Try my job. I have to crisscross Mtl all day, every day, and with a "How's my driving" number stencilled to my bumper. Of 48.5 billable hours last week, 22 of it was sitting behind the wheel. And that's not including my drive into and home from work through the Laffable tunnel. And to top it all off, I burned about $150 bucks of gas last week, and had to stand in the frigging cold pumping it, since the company frowns on paying the little extra for full service.

 

[Nixy]

I (l) the tunnel

True, I drive through it like...twice every 2-3 years or less often...but I (l) it still!

 

[Nixy]

yeah...(l) == a pic of a heart on MSN, I am a MSN junky it seems...

Why do you yanks and cunucks seem to have a problem with pumping your own petrol, ya whining bitches!

"Full Service" doesn't exist down here in Aus, you have to use the water and air pumps all by yourself too.

What's the water pump for?

Wondering if we have water pumps in canada at gas stations...

But don't you get weather like that every year in Canada? It's sounding more like South Carolina every day...

Last year Montreal and its surrounding cities were the victim of a provincially imposed forced merger that almost nobody wanted. Meetings were conducted, protests were held, St. Laurent city hall draped their buildings in black cloth, all to no avail. We all said services would suffer and taxes would rise, but our glorious Parti Quebecois government insisted they wouldn't.

This year, taxes are up, and I can count the number of snowplows and salt trucks I have seen on the roads this winter on my 2 hands...
