Reality Check by Dave Whamond for July 14, 2016

If you are slowing down for a red light, late at night, it will only change to green after you have come to a complete stop.

the widest loads will always meet at the narrowest part of the road

No matter how long you wait, shake or tilt it, the last drop of gasoline will fall on your car finish.

No matter how big or how small, that project requires a minimum of three trips to the hardware store.

when ever you want to say something clever or funny, you can’t recall it until every one leaves….

No one can fix those shopping carts with bad wheels.

No matter how fast you get to your favorite brand there will only be one left and it is broken!

Rule 1 actually happened to me! he had the upper one and I had the lower one. Neither one of us could believe it !!!

The spammers will find your private important mailbox and your important mail will all land in your spam box.

Pollsters will use proven methods that are no longer valid and be wrong.

on a stretch of any 2 lane back road the car/truck in front of you will be going 10 to 20 mph/kph under the speed limit with no one in front of them. the car/truck behind you will be riding your bumper so close that your license plates will occasionally touch and the traffic in the oncoming lane will be steady with no breaks – for hours!!!!!!

Watch your rear view mirror for wags zig-zagging between the three lanes, quickly speed up and fill the empty lane next to slow cars and watch the steam coming out of the wag’s ears especially if he has to move over to exit.

If you need to load something into your car from a cart, the person on the side you are using will come back to claim their car, right in the middle of the operation.

All of the above were reprinted from the Chicago Area DriverGuidelines Manual.

Every simple 10 minute job will take you at least an hour !

These are great! Thanks for all the additions to the Universal Law list everyone. I shall submit it now.

That works if your having trouble finding someone to help you

Just when you’re ready to exit a parking space a huge truck will pull in right next to you, blocking your view.

Get in the shortest line, and you’ll end up waiting longer.

Your server will ask, “how is your meal?” when your mouth is full and completely disappear when you need something.

When you need to hurry to make it to your destination, it will be when the gas gauge is at Empty.

If there are only two people in the grocery store, that other person will be right in front of the shelf you wanted, cart and all. And they’ll stand there, and stand there…

You will only get a huge cold sore on your lip on the day of your wedding, or your son or daughter’s wedding.
