Was This Traffic Ticket Fair? [Poll]

Justin Louis — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 20:53:09 +0000

With the Garden State Parkway going right through the heart of Ocean County, driving is always a topic that we can discuss. (In fact, it's one that I've discussed plenty of times, especially one of my biggest pet peeves, "left lane camping").

How Long Are You Willing to Wait for an Appointment? [Poll]

Justin Louis — Thu, 03 May 2012 19:46:50 +0000

It's happened to all of us, you have an appointment for, say, 10:30...politely, you show up a few minutes early to check in. You notice a number of people in the waiting room, which makes you nervous, then you hear those fateful words, "we're running just a little behind this morning, please have a seat".

My Least Favorite Intersection in Ocean County

Justin Louis — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 21:05:30 +0000

As you've probably noticed by now, I love to complain about driving. I don't know what it is, maybe I do in fact have mild road rage, but few things get my blood pressure up like being annoyed in the car. That being said, we have some truly terrible intersections in Ocean County.

Ok, I admit it, I've been on a bit of a roll when it comes to ranting lately. But have you ever gone through those days where it just seems like everything is annoying you? Today it was the parking lot at my local "big box store".

The Irritation of Rubbernecking

Justin Louis — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 22:30:31 +0000

I'll be the first to admit that I tend to rant a lot about cars here at wobm.com (especially after last week's article about "left lane campers"). Yesterday I was driving up to my mother's house on the Parkway and I feel like I saw everything; left lane campers, speeders, tailgaters, and the dreaded collection of rubberneckers.

Are You a "Left Lane Camper"? The Fine Could Jump by 100% or More [Poll]

Justin Louis — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 19:35:38 +0000

Here's the scenario - you're on your way to work, traffic is crowded but not terrible. Traffic in the middle and right lanes of the Garden State Parkway is bunching up so you get into the left lane to pass the crowd. Suddenly you come up on a vehicle in the "passing lane" taking their sweet time and you have to slow way down. You have just encountered a "left lane camper" (and I'm using the polite name here).

Justin Louis — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 21:27:32 +0000

What do people like Bristol Palin, Annie Duke, Mark Dacascos, Maria Kanellis, Albert Reed, and Richard Hatch have in common? They were all on shows like Dancing with the Stars or Celebrity Apprentice.

Now, quick (without going to Google) can you tell me what any of them did to become famous?

The office black hole

Justin Louis — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 21:02:38 +0000

Ok fess up...we've all committed an office theft at some point. For most of us it's usually just a pen. You were at a co-worker's desk and had to write something down so you grabbed a pen and, without even thinking, walked away with it.
