Intro

So for a long time I've had this feeling that everything in Columbia, MD sucks. So to prove my point I'm going to start documenting all the stuff that continues to suck in Columbia. Not that anyone really cares.

Just for starters I'll hit on a view easy to explain ones, that don't need to much detail to understand.

1. Howard County, where Columbia is located just instituted a smoking ban. This sucks, we, as in the people of Howard County didn't even get to vote on it. The County just decided one day that this was the way it's gonna be. This pretty much caused all the bars in Columbia to close immediately cause, they sucked to begin with, but now with no smoking all the people that went there would rather smoke and drink at home now.

2. There isn't anything to do in Columbia. The food sucks, there are only limited chain restraunts, and the mom and pop restraunts are terrible. I'll write about them later in more detail.

3. The people here suck.

4. Columbia states - "We are between DC and Baltimore it is a great location" - What is really should say, is you are 20 minutes from Baltimore and 2 hours from DC, cause your gonna sit on 495 for days.

5. No one here ever learned how to merge into traffic. People come to complete stops getting on the highway, and then attempt to merge at 10 miles an hour. They then wonder why Semi Trucks keep killing them.

6. The Super Markets blow. You can choose from a run down SafeWay, or a run down Gaint. Both of them make sure that every retard highschool kid has a job, so they can break your eggs and smash your bread. Also they don't stock any Organic foods, or high end items. Good luck finding 1 item in the entire store that doesn't contain 10 pounds of Trans Fats.

The "unable to merge into traffic" is a serious issue around the entire DC/Baltimore/NoVA metro area. Consider if you will, the current state of affairs on the inner loop of the DC beltway from Tysons Corner over the American Legion Bridge into communist Maryland.

The underside of the bridge is being painted. There is lots of large equipment on the bridge on the far right lane which means that the merge lane from the GW parkway is temporarily shorter than normal. There are still 4 lanes for traffic to pass over the bridge into Shitsville MD. No problem right? Should only be an issue with people exiting the GW parkway right? WRONG.

The no-talent assclowns in the area are completely unable to merge into traffic, and the other no-talent assclowns already on the beltway are unable to deal with traffic needing to merge. This causes the fuckwits on the far right lane to suddenly turn into the second lane, which slows down traffic, this in turn causes the fuckwits in the second lane to suddently turn into the 3rd lane, which slows down traffic, this in turn causes the fuckwits in the 3rd lane to suddenly turn into the far outside lane, which slows down traffic.

Then, since all traffic in all lanes is now slowing down, the impatient turd chompers now start to switch into other lanes in a misguided effort to "make progess". This is compounded by people who have no concept of gently slowing down, the ones who cannot gently apply pressure to the brake pedal, the ones who think you must press whichever pedal you are using to the floor at all times.

Traffic no longer slows down, it now comes to a complete standstill in each lane, in turn, at different times. You can see what's coming next right? Yes indeed, the people who are standing in a stopped line of traffic who decide they are way too important to be standing still for 10 seconds, just have to jump lanes into one that is moving at little more than a snails place. The vicious cycle starts over and the net result is stopped and slow traffic in all lanes from Tysons Corner to the other side of the Potomac river. All because some fucktards are UNABLE TO FUCKING MERGE.

Hey now, you guys have obviously never lived in texas. NONE of those fuckwads know how to drive. they cut you off, drive 100mph zig zagging in and out of traffic and drive the same when there's 3 inches of ice on the road. compared to that, i'll take the idiots who can't merge. i just make sure i stay away from the right lane!!

Texas driving. Ah, the fond memories of sleepy people at 90 mph in the left lane of a highway suddenly deciding they want to visit the Winn Dixie on the right, swerve through two lanes of traffic, up on two wheels, smoke, and then driving the wrong way up the highway to turn around and make the service road exit.

Fond memories, those.
