I would welcome someone selling second-tier gelato near my house.

Will that red light end soon? Audi's countdown clock can tell you

You’re stuck at a red light. It’s taking forever.

How much time until the light turns green? Ten seconds? Twenty seconds? A minute and a half?


Would you be more patient if you knew exactly how long it will take?

Audi is betting yes. The German luxury carmaker said Monday that several cars in its 2017 lineup will be available with a cloud-computer-connected countdown timer for red lights, displayed on the instrument panel and heads-up display.

Co-worker with anger issues who arrived more than a half hour ago is still ranting about the traffic issues on the way into work.

Gave me the Grrrrrr! face when I pointed out that, in his head, he's still stuck out in the traffic jam and should probably just let it go.

I probably shouldn't keep swatting that hornets' nest, but I'm entertained by the buzzing.

I think most people ***** about the traffic to make it clear it's not their fault they are late.

This sounds like a sure fired way to cause more red light accidents. I could see a statistical increase in Audi accidents caused by Audi drivers first in line anticipating the green, flooring it and getting T-boned.

But, I guess that could be a good thing - thin the herd.

I went to Jimmy John's and asked for my sandwich to be cut in half -- and they didn't! I had to cut it in half myself.

The water in my pool is too warm.

I just finished 18 holes on a perfect summer day, but I had to spend five minutes cleaning goose **** off my new golf shoes when it was over before I could hit the clubhouse bar for a beer.

 

[Riptide]

Stop hitting into the goose ****.

The McDonald's closest to my house is closed for renovations. So, I had to go a quarter-mile down the street to the other McDonald's, and wait in a longer drive-thru line.

You should set up a GoFundMe. I'd chip in for the extra gas money.

Standing behind someone with 15 items in the 10 items or less line who then says they need to run and get one more item just as they are paying.

I called the maid today to clean my house, but she was "busy".
