Over at SmartRoutes, Cindy and Jeff have decided to launch a campaign against Massholism - and looks like they're getting Mac Daniel of the Globe involved as well. Their conclusion?

... Bring back "Traffic School."

Jmac explains why he will give the bird to Massholes who start screaming at other people (especially if those people are pedestrians):

... This helps soothe the fantasies I have about pulling them from their cars and beating them to death right there on the street. ...

Alyssa and Deeps drive home in last night's snow:

... Deeps: Besides, these people are just getting their stupid on.

Me: What?

Deeps: See, they forgot what winter is like so today is the first day that they can get their winter stupid on.

I started to laugh, but found a gasp instead as a guy ran a light and nearly sideswiped us.

Deeps: Classic winter stupid, that's what you have there. ...

It's a good thing I rarely have any reason to go to the Atrium Mall, because otherwise one day I would just go berserk in the garage and key everything in sight, and even as I sat in the lockup at the Newton Police Department waiting for my wife to bail me out (assuming she wouldn't let me just stew there overnight), I wouldn't feel the least bit sorry.

And by "Massholes," H means pretty much everybody else in the state.

La Diabla is at the intersection of New Chardon and Cambridge and makes the mistake of actually trying to cross the street:

... And the assmunch who had SEEN me crossing, and could very well have waited the five seconds to let me finish crossing (since he wasn't going anywhere, anyway), instead decided to GUN IT. AT. ME.

Natually, I backed up to let him try to go somewhere--into another car that was also trying to nudge its way at me. I was stuck, just like the cars--and to top it all off, I twisted my fucking ankle in the street. Fucking OW. ...

Paul Day is just starting to yell at the perfectly able woman who'd parked in a handicap spot at a CVS when he hears a male voice calling to him, "Buddy:"

... "Buddy," it says a little more insistently. I turn toward the voice and see…the Parking Ticket Guy!

It almost makes you want to believe in God. ...

Some Everett high-school students learned yesterday what happens when you toss French fries into a busy street when seagulls are around: The seagulls swoop down to eat them, then get run over by a Masshole. Angela posts the grim photo:

... In total, four seagulls were hit, three of them obliterated by the car. The one surviving seagull wouldn't wait for wildlife services to get there. He ran across the street and was hit by another car. ...

Alyssa Boehm considers a Flickr set showing every local intersection where she's nearly been killed by a Masshole. Main problem: It would be a huge set.

Juniper Pearl describes how job-related stress combined with the daily commute can lead to some really ugly moments.

Because then the Vanquisher of LA Parking Vermin could tackle the Massholes who park on the sidewalk on Parsons Street:

... As a pedestrian, it is pretty frustrating that vehicles on Parsons St. in Brighton are allowed to park on the sidewalk on a regular basis. It seems that everyone who parks on this street feels entitled to put one side of their car up on the sidewalk. ...

Jessssssss discovers this in Watertown.

Via H2Otown, who finds the entry proof that drivers can be Massholes as well.

Based on the bumper sticker Borderline spotted today, he'd drive a gray Ford Escort. But would he then turn into a total Masshole and make a left turn after pulling off onto the right side of the road, nearly causing a three-vehicle pileup?

Jayniek reports she was grazed in the thigh today as she tried to cross the street by the Somerville Theater in Davis Square:

... I look the driver in the eye: a 482-year-old woman wearing a dumb hat and glasses as thick as all get-out. Still, she does not stop. Meh. So, I hoist myself up onto her hood. And then she notices. And starts screaming... "I'm sooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrry OH MY GOD, Oh MY God!" ...

Mats is there to chronicle the latest accident. And, of course, this being Boston:

... Just as I had finished taking pictures and was about to head back to Kenmore Square a car barreling down Commonwealth Avenue ran the red light, right in front of cops and staties. ...

La Diabla has a word of advice for local motorists:

... Do you want to go back to your third grade education, fellow commuters? It seems like you do. Well, I'll make it easy for you, it won't even take a week, it'll only be one sentence.

STOP FOR THE FUCKING SCHOOL BUS, MORONS.

Class dismissed.
