Damn construction workers!

Made me curb my front left wheel (good thing they are sh*tty wheels and I've got new ones in the mail).. they had this weird contraption set up halfway in the road and then it had legs extending out from it to keep it stable, leaving about 5-6ft max of space to go around it (they had cones out and weird pieces of wood sitting on the road I had to avoid) I approached slowly (probably should have backed up and gone another way) and it looked like I had it so I coasted forward to feel a jerk in the wheel and hear a nasty noise... anyways I yelled out DAMN and the mexican worker looked at me like I was crazy... Can't they put up signs like "narrow due to construction" or something that would cause me to go another way..

End of rant

He means regardless of the situation, its your fault. YOU should be able to judge if you car will fit through

When i was pulling out of blockbuster one time with my girl i was going through this one way little path to get back onto the street and theres only room for one car. Well i was putting my wallet back into my pocket and i wasnt payin attention and i thought i heard my wheel scrape the curb. These were my brand new wheels. Naturally, i screamed FVCK extremely loud and she looked at me and was like "jesus wtf is wrong with you". I got home though and there was no curb it was just my tire rubbing against the curb.
