Gotta love rubberneckers, especially in the Seattle area. I was heading to an appointment yesterday and was wondering why traffic was backed up in a place it shouldn't be. Got to the front and noticed a couple cop cars with their lights flashing. That's why traffic was slow - not because of a huge accident, or bust, or traffic issue. Nope, eeeevvverrrryyyybody here has to slow down and look every time they see flashing lights. I was at the front of the line and watched (and laughed at) each driver as he or she slooowly drove through the intersection, from all directions, and slowed down even more, actually stretching their necks out to look and see what was going on between the cars.
A stop light long enough to let ten cars through ends up getting three or four through. I made sure they all saw me laughing at them. I think the guy behind me was laughing at them, too.
Gotta love 'em.

It's that way everywhere, but Seattle-ites definitely have a fascination with flashing lights

It was hilarious, honestly. I was right between the cars coming around and the flashing lights, and EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM slowed down to look, to the point they impeded cross traffic. Whatever happened to common sense?
