Everywhere along Grand is just awful lately.

Whenever I get into one of these situations, I do a disappointed head shake and give ‘em a thumbs down.

I'm a hothead and know I need to keep it toned down so I don't get shot or stabbed so I'm going to take your advice on this one, I like it.

You can also 1) walk slower, 2) just turnaround and start back as if you forgot something or 3) look around in bewilderment as if you can’t figure out where that annoying sound is coming from.

The good old "I'm not mad, just disappointed" is still very effective. Might bring back bad childhood memories, I guess.

You think the people doing this shit had parents like that?

No. They needed to have parents doing that. It implies the parents knew better and tried to educate their kids, but somewhere on the way they failed.

I would risk saying people who drive like this even had examples inside their homes of people driving likewise. It's an endless circle.
