Believe it or not, that was REAL, and it was put up there by the Mass DOT to relieve stress during morning rush hour.

Sometimes, government is cool.

Did not know if was effective, but did happen.

:lol:

Seriously, I almost got wiped out this winter because my charming neighbor decided to hook a left off the side street leading up near my apartment, and immediately whip into her driveway, where I happened to be walking.  I suppose I understand her hurry, given that the left was wrong way up a one way street, but, hey, who am I to think she should waste her valuable time driving around a while block to get home?

Note to self: silly string her car one night.

Went out to the other end of the state today, where they also had these signs. For those of you not familiar, the wikkid retahdid bawston accent is pretty much exclusive to the eastern end of the state, and western Mass is where they make fun of people who say "yahd sale." DOT lost points.

This is true, and even then it's now limited to blue collar townie families, largely in areas like Charlestown or South Boston. In high school, the main thing we used to mock the jocks and preppies about was their accent, which like, one dude in our social circle had (since he was from a blue collar townie family in South Boston- and even he made fun of it.)

That's because in western MA they don't have yard sales.

They have "tag sales." Lousy degenerates.

Balls.  They tried to crack a joke in public, so they gained points.

Oh, they absolutely get points overall, but deductions made for perpetuating "eastern mass forgets anything exists outside 495" stereotypes.

route 495 follows an arc around eastern massachusetts, and most people outside the bubble are resentful of the fact that they are largely ignored by the state government, and everyone outside of massachusetts thinks the entire state is Boston. Stupid local stuff.

Rockland IS Boston. Try North Adams (or don't because it is a depressing shithole).

Unless you live in Southern Vermont, and that's where you go for fun. North Adams is like the town we didn't know where to put, so we put it in the top left corner where no one would mind.
