Welcome to Fairfax Underground, a project site designed to improve communication among residents of Fairfax County, VA. Feel free to post anything Northern Virginia residents would find interesting.
I hate speed bumps/humps. I pay road taxes so I expect free passage at the speed limit. If I can't, I'm going to honk my horn going over every one of those fuckers. If I can't have free right of passage, they won't have peace.
I have a speed bump in front of my house and have immature morons blowing their horns. I complained to the cops and guess what they did? With my permission, a couple of motormen sit in my garage ready for the next fool lay on their horn.
You see, that's disturbing the peace, and it is illegal. Obviously, they can't be there all the time, but the satisfaction of seeing the horn morons' faces when those Harleys come roaring out of my garage is priceless!
The posted speed limit is 25 mph but for the effing speed bump youse got to slow down to 15 mph?
and seems like all speed bumps are not created equal. some unless you almost come to a stop will get the undercarriage of car
and then these fucks who yuppieize an old neighborhood with their oversized mcmansions and live a mile from say the vienna metro and expect there to be light traffic so they get speed bumps

Well said. Then again, the speed bumps were put there for a reason - as you suggested. It's a main road, people refuse to honor the speed limit, so the bumps are installed. Sure, I don't like them. But, I understand why they're there.
I used to live in a townhome community and the speed bumps were threatened about 10 years ago, but they never passed at the time. I moved out of that area about 4 years ago. I passed through there a few weeks ago - there were new speed bumps installed. Clearly, the option of allowing the citizens to "police" their own driving and speed wasn't working, so some additional asphalt was utilized to bring things under control.
I doubt you can be charged with disturbing the peace since that usually only happens after 11pm in this county. You can be charged with improper use of an emergency signal though. Years ago a buddy of mine turned 21 and I drove him up to Safeway in Burke to buy his first case of beer, we got the beer and he hopped in the car with the case. As we were leaving the parking lot I was just laying on my horn and being loud due to it being my friends birthday. We didn't make it out of the parking lot before we were pulled over and given a warning about blowing the horn when there was no emergency situation, he asked if I had alcohol in the car and I said yes I do but its not mine and my buddy just turned 21(I was only 20 at the time), he laughed at us and let us go telling us to be careful and not to drive after drinking that case of beer.

Go fuck yourself. I hope you do hit a kid and go to jail for being an idiot.

The street is for cars to drive in. Kids should play in the yard, or, if you dont have one, the neighborhood playground. (If you dont have one of those either then you dont have to worry about me driving down your street since it is in the ghetto)
Why would you let your kids play in the street and blame the drivers for not watching for them
If you ever speed in my development and kill my kid you better watch your back. No jury in the world would convict a parent who kills the person that killed their kid. Kids go into the road sometimes. It happens. You are the adult and you should act like one. And yes I do watch my children and we live on 5 acres.

Where'd you get that nugget of legal advice from? The Chuck Hoffmann Law Firm?
What I don't understand is how more parents don't kill the people who molest their child? They always let those fuck*rs out of prison and they do it again and again. Makes me so mad! When we bought our house I made sure none of those sick fucks lives anywhere near us.

Right, but not double the speed limit in a residential area, like it's a highway. I dont have kids and dont want em. Maybe that's what it would take get donks like you to slow down in neighborhoods.
Why would anyone think they can speed in a residential area? So you can get somewhere 5 minutes faster. You must only care about yourself. Hopefully you do not have children. No one should have an asshole father like you.

So, because you see a few people speeding down your street (probably your neighbors), you think you can take away EVERYONE's right to go the speed limit? That's a little selfish there pal, the world doesn't revolve around you and your children. By that logic, we should board up all the Mcdonalds in the country because some people can't control themselves.

The problem, you shit sandwich, is this: Buy a house on a residential street with a 25 MPH posted speed limit and have to endure scum like you driving by at 35-45 MPH. How about YOU show common courtesy and SLOW THE FUCK DOWN when driving through a residential neighborhood. Save your 'Fast & Furious' fantasies for the highway, Douchenozzle.
To Hendrix: Yeah, it's the asshole neigbors who are the problem. They don't give a rat's ass about me, so I'll gladly fuck 'em up the ass with a speed bump.
What I find amusing is that many of the idiots that petitioned to get those stupid ass speed humps invariably speed like hell on everyone else's roads. I live on a street that regularly sees people driving 15-20 mph over the limit.
Why in the hell would I want to see my tax dollars go towards more effing speed humps? Each one costs something like 30K, and always requires people to drive SLOWER than the limit. WTH?
I just get amused when the cops bust the idiots or even better they crash their precious cars because they can't handle them. Seen lots of those.
If you don't like people speeding on your road. MOVE! There are plenty of places where it isn't an issue and face it, chances are you moved in long after the road was built and could have seen the problem if you had bothered to look before you moved in.
why ppl who complain about speeders live on a thru street when there are PUH-LENTY of cul-de-sac streets to live on around here is ludicrous.
Blow_Me_Douche is the sorta person who will complain about speeders in the neighborhood, but be the same person tailgating you when yr in the right lane on the parkway doing 60, y'know?
I live on a road in a residential neighborhood with a 25 MPH speed limit. Your assertion that I should have calculated into my home buying decision the expectation that my neighbors would speed past my house is ludicrous.
Gordo, you're the kinda fucker that'll run over a child one day as you recklessly speed through a residential neighborhood, y' know?
well, if you live in a neighborhood that you YOURSELF say is dangerous to your children, and would place their safety in the hands of STRANGERS that YOU YOURSELF say endanger them on a regular basis, then you are the ludicrous one, my friend.
If you dont consider your children's safety (remember, you are the one saying these drivers are placing them in danger) a factor in purchasing a home, then you are foolish as well as a bit ludicrous.
either way, I wouldnt do more than 15 over the limit so if I do run over that child, I'll get a ticket as long as I stay on the scene, and am not impaired.
You will get MORE TIME than I ever would for killing me after hitting yr child (and what a way to honour your child's memory - by spending 20 years shoving cell phones and bags of meth up your ass in order to please the head of the aryan gang in yr cellblock LoLz)
Sounds like you'd put yr kids life at risk just so you could get your mad-on at drivers you perceive as driving too fast, y'know?
Here's the thing. Speed bumps are ugly and get uglier over time. I wouldn't buy a home if I saw speed bumps on the street. The roads around here aren't kept up like they should be and speed bumps don't ever seem to get repaired or updated.
Why anyone would want speed bumps on their streets is beyond me. IMO they don't make the roads any safer. People ignore them or just speed up after them. Waste of tax payer money and they are an eyesore. Plus, they delay the fire department and ambulances in emergencies.
Good for those folks, dont ever expect to see a police car while you live there, they avoid them like everbody else. The morons in Kings Park did the same thing years ago and the cops never went in there unless it was on a call.

The speeding vehicles are dangerous, dickhead, not the neighborhood. Pay attention.

Again, twit: The home and neighborhood are very safe it’s my speeding idiot neighbors and asswipes like you who’re endanger my children.

Oh, I wouldn’t waste my time & effort killing you, Gordo. That'd be too good for you.
First, I’d use my influence w/the FFX County Prosecutor to have you charged w/vehicular manslaughter and work like hell to make sure that you’re convicted and receive the maximum sentence.
Then, I’d sue you for the wrongful death of my child and take every single penny you own and hopefully leave your family destitute.
For good measure, I’d probably burn down your house and maybe kill one of your children. That'd be a little bonus, sinceI have the training & experience to do so w/o being caught, y'know? LoLz

Hey dummy -- keep your kids out of the street. How's that sound? Roads are dangerous places for kids whether people are driving 25mph or 40. Makes no difference. Educate your children about this instead of letting them play computer games all day.
Try being a good parent rather than blaming other people for your kid's stupidity.

You'd do no such thing because you have no such influence. You're a nobody, plain and simple. Pet rocks have more influence than you. Nice try though. :-)
How about speed bumps with nails or something to pop the tires? In my neighborhood people roar past my house (mainly Hispanic drivers). I mean these guys are moving so fast that they are a blur when they go by. Where are the police? They used to sit in my driveway and do radar (I gave them permission and even encouraged them to do it). Lots of kids in my neighborhood too.

This is how you win arguments, folks. Blow_me, I wouldn't be surprised if you were in politics. Regardless of your more sordid comments, you're exactly the type of person who I picture as to wanting a speed bump installed in front of their home: childish, stubborn, and utterly self-centered. Good day, sir!

He learned pretty quickly in the last thread that he doesn't have the intellectual capacity to go toe-to-toe with me. So in this thread he just gave up immediately. :-)
Just be glad you aren't one of his children, out playing in the streets because your father is a retard who didn't teach you to know better.
@Kilton - the dude is obviously a few bullets shy of a full clip, if you know what I mean. Since, he'd have us believe the FFX Prosecutor loves hanging out with murderers who have "the training & experience to do so w/o being caught, y'know?" LoLz
not saying the prosecutor doesnt know any killers LoLz - but I'm sure if he does, they are the type with enough brains to be smart enough not to brag about such things on the interweb ;)
@Big K - if ppl are seriously going fast like that, I'm all for stopping them - I'm not anti speed hump, per say - but I am anti-idiot and someone who'd put the safety of his kids in the hands of neighborhood speeders DEFIANTELY qualifies. But I like yr ideas (working within the law instead of talking about arson and murder)

Intellectual capacity? You most deftly display yours with posts like: “Hey dummy -- keep your kids out of the street. How's that sound? Roads are dangerous places for kids whether people are driving 25mph or 40. Makes no difference. Educate your children about this instead of letting them play computer games all day.” Yes, you’re a an intellectual titan… Lolz!

Gordo, your cognitive skills are seriously deficient. You just can’t fix stupid, so there’s no point arguing w/the likes of you. I could type “Good day, sir!”, but that lame-ass card’s been played. Lolz!

You're absolutely right. Thank you for admitting it. :-)
Now go tell your stupid kids what I said so that they don't get hit by a car. Sounds like they need a smarter influence in their lives.
