pink and blue
I read in the Metro Section of Inquirer (I think, basta I read it somewhere) that the MMDA idiot spokesperson of the week dismissed the criticisms of the many people who ply the Katipunan-to-everywhere-else-that-is-not-QC road regarding the recent not-so-smart-move of the Metro Manila D*&#head Authority with the u-turn slots along the Katipunan area.[1]
It seems as if the MMDA people think that the only people whining about it[2] are the rich people and their spoiled brats who don’t like being inconvenienced and are now defending themselves by saying that that the common folk are actually benefited by this traffic stupid plan.
Uh…stupid much?
When you remove a u-turn slot before making sure that the only alternative you leave to the commuters isn’t blocked by a road fixing project and the many jeepneys who service the so-called common folk, therefore leaving to aforementioned commuters just one (1) lane to u-turn to, you know what happens?
That’s right. People get pissed. And when they do, pretty much EVERYTHING goes to shit.
Cause it’s traffic and people are late going to work or to school or home. And if you leave something at home you wish to God you don’t need it that day cause there’s no way in hell you’re gonna make the trip to purgatory and back just to get whatever it is.
And the people who badly need to go to Mickey D’s to get a Sausage McMuffin pick-me-up can’t do so because the drive-thru exit is clogged by vehicles full of road-rage-ing people, so they just have to start the week cranky and hungry.
And people who’re just hitching rides with the vehicularly-blessed (or unblessed as the case may be) have to contend with the fear that usually mild-mannered people might just give in to the rage and oh, I dunno, throw potted plants or snot-infested tissue or a bucket of water and coke or the like at any moving person in blue carrying a whistle stupid enough or unlucky enough to be there when the proverbial shit hits the fan.
And the common folk you MMDA people keep on saying are benefited by this brainless plan? They’re not benefited. Not at all. Cause it was traffic before, yes. But now you can’t even get a ride to god-damned school because no one wants to pass by Katipunan aka the Hellmouth! Gaaaaaah!!!!!
Speaking as one of the vehicularly-challenged common-folk[3], I would like to say that this particular situation right here is the perfect reason why I’m never ever gonna vote for people who like painting the city faggoty blue and pink and plastering their totally un-gwapo faces all over the already ugly roads.
If I ever register to vote and actually vote, that is. But who knows, I might actually do it (finally) this 2010 theoretical election. And I’ll know who not to vote for. Even if you finally regain whatever common sense you have, don’t think I’ll forget this, Mr. Metro Not At All Gwapo.
[1] Sometime last week the smart guys blocked most of the u-turns which enabled commuters to maintain a healthy level of sanity in spite of the rush hour traffic. They left just the u-turn near rustan’s and the u-turn underneath the overpass thing. *%$#!
[2] The stupid u-turn blocking plan.
[3] Let’s all save the snide comments about the common folk thing. I’m weird. I know.
