If you're driving from Silicon Valley to central or southern California, you will likely go east on Highway 152 and negotiate the notorious DON'T STOP, STUPID! intersection. It works like this: somebody (let's call that person "over-courteous person zero") heading east on 152 feels compelled to stop for a left-turner who wants to get onto Highway 156 although there is no stop sign. So then, the next guy does the same, stopping for the next left-turning car. Pretty soon, there are hours/miles of cars backed up. And after griping and grumbling in the backup for an hour or more, many people get to the intersection and they stop too, figuring, what the hell, I'm going slow anyway, apparently contracting instant stupid amnesia about having spent the past hour-plus in stop-and-start traffic, or perhaps being unable to connect the two events in their impressive big brains.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!
YAH IT IS SOOOOOOO STOOOOOOOOPEEDDD!!!!
