I asked the county about grading the road in front of my house. The county road maintenance supervisor told me if I ask them again they will slap a private road sign on the road and all the people on it will have to maintain it. Useless fucks.

Or the city workers are union and they complained about non union work being done. There was a story from a decade or so ago about a trade show in NYC. All setup of the booths was to be done by union workers. The booths had been constructed, but the union electricians hadn't been through. A booth worker plugged in an extension cord to test the booth lights. Overnight the union workers trashed the booth because a non union person touched the electrical. |

They were actually using a tamp, something I have NEVER seen a government worker using in my entire adult life. We used them, we even used air tamps, some of my cold patch repairs are still out there decades later STILL in better shape then the typical shit government road workers do after 2-3 weeks. |

A while back in Seattle someone painted a crosswalk at a place that is dangerous as the chance of a pedestrian getting hit is high. Residents had been asking for a LONG time to get a crosswalk painted there. Never was done so someone painted one.
Well wouldn't you know it, the city found the money and crews to get out there to scrub that surface and remove the unauthorized crosswalk. |

My business was on HWY frontage with a service road as our access. It was continually filled with pot holes which were KILLING our trucks. I started filling holes in until TxDOT came and threatened me. I said fine. I'll just come fill them in on the weekends when you lazy fucks aren't at work.

I guess this is different... People in the community should just flood the DOT with damage claims for busted tires and rims. Then it becomes a much bigger problem for the .gov |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By realwar: The city always blames their laziness on covid. At a previous place I worked we got prices to repave the street outside of our facility (which was technically the local municipality's responsibility) because the road was so bad product was being damaged. We used it as a cudgel to beat the local municipality up over so that they eventually capitulated and fixed it. That being said, they about lost their shit when we met with a local road contractor to begin the effort ourselves. |

Maybe it wasn’t money or time that kept the city from putting in the crosswalk. Maybe it wasn’t a suitable location. If it is, as you say, a dangerous location, some stripes on the pavement won’t magically make it safe. |

Around here they just pour a half-ass mixture of gravel and asphalt tar, then take off. Literally two weeks later, the pothole is back and worse than ever. Best is the fucking concrete highway patches. They just pour loose gravel in them. No other effort is made.
