Say Anything.

i think its mostly just the phoenix area. Though once it snows here in Flag all the morons from Phx who's parents bought them a 4wd start flying around the roads and immediately into ditches

Phoenix has the best road layout ever.. Everything is so easy.. its north south east or west, with the Aves on one side and the Rds on the other.. The least confusing place to drive.. ever.

That being said, too many people, too many idiots, too many illegals driving around poorly and without insurance. Its darned scary and the traffic sucks..

Well I'm sure it's not just the illegals driving around poorly lol. Usually it's the younger crowd here in Washington driving all stupid.

Phx isn't layed out quite as well as you are saying - there are cities that are layed out better.

The real problem is Phx is one of (if not the) fastest growing cities so they are expanding faster than they can keep up with infrastructure. Driving in Chicago was worse anyway.

My comment about Flag was simply about the 18 year old rich kids that come to school here, have never seen snow, and don't treat it with caution. When it snows here it is very annoying to be on the roads because people dont' know how to handle it, and they don't drive safe until they learn how to handle it. They speed around in their 4wd's and think they can stop on a dime. I literally have to weaver around these people as they are all stuck on hills - back when I was driving my little ford escort.

That's Alaska with the first snow fall. People who have lived there for years still drive stupid in their 4x4's. There is always at min of 50+ car accidents on the wasilla highway during the first snowfall. People are retarded in the snow.

I love that I could never get lost in phx.. though scottsdale and the cities on the east side wrapped round the mountains are a bit more confusing.

Its not that theyre the only ones driving poorly, but for the most part they dont carry insurance.. and if you do get in an accident with them.. youre footing the bill and theyre not in trouble for it.

Had a guy once fall asleep in the car and he drove full speed into the back of my mother's car, which was stopped at a light behind other cars. Totalled her vehicle, gave her a concussion, and rammed her car into the one in front of her. Shes lucky she wasnt dead. The guy didnt have insurance, The car was apparently borrowed or something and his license was suspended. Yet since he didnt have insurance or a job he wasnt held liable for anything, because he coudlnt have put up any money. Thats crap.

nother time a guy hit us in the side.. also no insurance.. messed up our car, he didnt get a ticket or anything.

Woman ran a red once while david was heading home, he saw her car and tried to swerve out of the way so he wouldnt hit the cab of the car, ended up driving over her hood, so he wouldnt hurt the kids she had in the back seat. One of the multiple witnesses that the police questioned said he might have sped up when going through the intersection ( mind you the light was green, not yellow, so he was given half fault for that one. He coudlnt work for a month after with the whiplash he got. and had to do therapy for a year and his back still hurts, 14 years later.

ITs just scary, thats why I dont drive.. and why i was never interested in driving when we lived there.

Poor Jello got a new car last year, and it hasn't even been a year, but they've gotten into 2 accidents already. The 2nd time chick ran two lights, plowed like 5 cars, sideswiped her husband (driving her beautiful new car) and just KEPT GOING. Ended up she was just coming off a shift, but she had to have been on something to be that fucking stupid.

Driving in Chicago is fucking terrifying. If you leave one inch between you and the car in front of you, somebody is going to squeeze in there. So everybody is driving like 50 mph with 2 cm separating them from a car accident.

I had people go up on the sidewalk to pass me at redlights.

I disagree strongly. Ive seen way better, like Texas.

Coming back from the airport when I went to visit my sister in Chicago, we passed one of those construction signs that said "USE LSD". My guess is that has something to do with the bad drivers O_o

I took the trains in Chicago :)

well, ok Ill rephrase, since I obviously cant speak for every town anywhere.. but its the best layout Ive seen. (only been through amarillo tx and then just driving through. )

I think its got something to do with being in a fairly flat area.. places like San Francisco, anywhere with steep hills or mountains..San Jose are just crazy.. loopy roads and scary intersections and freeways everywhere. I dont get why they might name two streets with the same name within a mile of each other..

Lets discuss Airports.

I hate Airports. I hate everything about the fuckers. I especially hate the Austin Airport. I hate having to take my shoes off and walk through two sets of security lines and then have a guard holding a M16 wave a wand over my body...It makes me feel guilty almost and I get anxiety attacks walking though the security lines....like, what would happen if something in my bag set off a red flag and they rushed me etc....when i'd never have such in my bag to begin with...

My last flight to Phoenix I had - The security line at Austin was held up for almost 45 minutes because they had to send in these dudes in gas masks and white suits to check this womans bag because it had some substance in a container inside it that turned out to be fucking nail remover and nothing else....The woman threw a fucking fit and was cussing them out hardcore....I almost missed my goddamn flight due to it...thank god I was 2 hours early =x

Phoenix skyharbor airport however is quite nice and easy as hell to navigate in.

Dallas airport sucks also....And Pharren, I heard that Chicago O'hare is pretty bad.

Phx does have a nice airport - the terminals are a bit spread out, but you can easily walk between them if you need too. Plus you know, there is geology as you go up the escalator :)

Has anyone here been to Denver airport? I hear they have some disturbing murals / paintings in there.

Havent been to Denvar, but been to O'Hare. Security was kinda lax there imo, I smuggled a bottle of real Absinthe in hehe.

Not as slack as Hamburg in Germany though...I was first off the plane and had my passport out ready to show, stood at the yellow line waiting. But there was no dude in the box, no-one at all. People behind me walked past me like this was normal, so I followed. No checks, nothing. I mean, its European Union and all that but every other country I've been to, I still had to show my passport, EU or not lol.

Biggest airport I've been to is Amsterdam...its huge. Been to Glasgow before the attempted bomb, but the tightened up security at Edinburgh too. Take your shoes off and all that jazz.

Any of you been pulled out of the security line ups and gone through the full body X-ray one? Had to take off my shoes, empty every single item from my pockets, then stand with my hands on these two circles on the wall at a 45 degree angle to the glass. And then you have to do the same with your butt facing the glass! This was at Heathrow, dunno if they started implementing it elsewhere yet.

Atlanta's airport is ridiculously huge and our flights are always from one end of one terminal allllll the way across to an opposite terminal, all the way at the end. My poor mother had to get a wheelchair. Hell, I wanted to ride a wheel chair!!!

Baltimore is nice, looks like a mall and is just a long walk, no zigzagging.

Memphis (I think I've been to Memphis) is ungodly big, too.

Minneapolis is beautiful - has some awesome indoor trains.

San Fransico - biggest god damn airport I have EVER been in. We gave ourselves 2 1/2 hrs to get from Modesto to San Fran Airport and made it to our flight with 9 mins to spare. Blergh.

I've been to one in South Carolina - itty bitty, near the coast.

Seattle - I swear they've remodeled that thing like 4 times in the past 20 years. However, it is very cool. They have a floor to ceiling glass wall in the food court so you can sit and watch the planes come and go.

Anchorage/Fairbanks - Alaska is as big as the continental United States, but their airports are god damn small.

Pittsburgh - again, another ridiculously large airport. So big my brother forgot where he parked and it took us like 45 mins to get to the van =/

Honolulu - haven't been in that airport since 2001. All I remember is that it was one story, I think.

Albuquerque - I slept in the main lobby because my flight got delayed...12 fucking hours. I swear I think I saw Paula Abdul in the gift shop and their itty bitty diner had awesome strawberry pancakes. Granted that was 1993.

Kansas City - I'm pretty sure I was drunk when we landed.

Denver - Drunk again. Some middle aged man hit on me the entire flight. Not cool.

Wow, I've flown a lot.

Isn't that the one with a subway in it? And I don't mean the restaurant. I only flew in there once, so maybe I'm thinking of somewhere else (Detroit?).

San Diego - Not bad. Can't get lost, not too much of a maze to find where you need to go.

Pensacola FL - Small and not very busy.

New Bern NC - omg is a one room building with ONE terminal and you walk out on the runway to get on the matchbox with wings. LOL Security was easy.. even when I had my toy poodle in her carry on bag..I had no fuss or anything. Very friendly and helpful.

Charlotte NC - Fairly large, and pain in the ass.

Atlanta - NEVER fucking again.

Philidelphia - largest airport I've ever been at (I think? lol). I think it was at this airport you had to take buses all the way to other terminals.

Bangor ME - haha its barely an airport.. bigger then the one in New Bern, but same deal.. small lines, easy/fast security check point and only 2 terminals. Can't get lost at all!

Easiest, best airport ever... Naval Station Rota Spain!

Edit - Forgot 2 aiports...

DFW and San Antonio.... these were the scariest airports Ive ever been in. It was before 9-11 and all the new flying security checks... it was DFW I left from to go to basic training at Lackland AFB. That there killed my nerves. Then sitting at the airport in San Antonio waiting for a Training Instructor to show up in a bus. Oh yeah.. I remember those damn clicking coming from his shoes as he walked down the hall to the room the 50 of us were sitting in. All of us stopped talking instantly. LOL
