 Three times today I got screwed around by road construction bullshit. All them them require at least a mile and 1/2 detour to get around the crap and some you have to go back the way you had to detour because of the lack of other roads.
 

Once again Meridian road is closed just south of Jolly. The only way to get to stops south of Jolly is to go Every to Button to Meridian. The bridge on Meridian over I96  south of those stops has been closed for months. The road that is closed is open for a week or two then closed again without any notices.
 

They have been putting in some stupid sub-division off Powell road for awhile now and have opened then closed Powell road for the whole time. To get to Powell road you have to enter off of Tihart, The road turns from paved to gravel and you can drive up it around the road close signs for about 1/2 to 3/4 of a mile. That is where the stops are. Then you have to turn around and go all the way back to Tihart.
 

I had an altercation with some road construction assholes today. For some reason the pieces of shit think that they can just open and close roads whenever they feel like it without any notice to anyone.
Bullshit. So I gave them the same "Fuck you" that they give everyone else when they do it without notice.
 

Not to mention that where they had the road closed has been closed to the bridge for over a month as they milk it for more money. I had to turn the other way which has been open for over a month.
There were two assholes working there. A woman and a man.

As I approached them the woman started making a turn around signal which I ignored and kept coming because I had been using the road to the south for over a month. When I got closer and pointed that I had to go that way she started shaking her head and kept doing the turn around sign.
 

I said why can't I go that way there is nothing there referring to road equipment. She said something about "we are surfacing or sealing or some shit today."
 

I was rather irate at this point.
 

I stated it was bullshit and told them "get your fucking work done."

I got back in my truck. The male put his arms up in the bring it position and I got out of my truck and told if if he wants it I got something for him.
 

The woamn got her phone out and started filming so I gave her something to film and shot them the double bird.
 

After I started pointing out the bullshit they pull with willy-nilly road closures the woman started playing the victim and said "Why are you yelling at me?" Typical Michigan PC bullshit.
 

I got in my truck and started backing up the road as it is pretty hard to turn a FedEx truck around on a two lane country road with very little shoulder.
 

The woman  kept filming as I backed away.
 

The male decided to get in his truck and drive up the road after me. I had to back up about a 1/4 mile or more to get to a driveway to turn around in. As I pulled into the driveway the male stopped in the road behind me to take a picture of my license plate.
 

He did the bring it arm thing again and I got out of my truck again.
 

He moved forward and I backed out of the driveway to go the other way.. He went about 100 feet up the road and stopped to tell someone else going that way that the road was closed. He didn't look happy about it either.
 

After they moved the male pulled over and I passed him. He then decided to follow me. He followed me further back down Stillman. He followed me after I turned south on Every. He followed me after I turned east again on Willoughby.
 

I was originally going east on Stillman to go south on Meridian to go to Willoughby as the next stop was very close to Meridian.
 

These are country roads and they are not exactly close together.
 

As I slowed and turned into the driveway I had to go to on Willoughby the male slowed down at the end of the driveway then kept going as there was more traffic behind him.
 

Whether you work for the government or a contractor, when you say fuck you to everyone and close down roads without notice and no emergency not everyone is going to take your bullshit lying down.
 

Quit milking the jobs and get the fucking work done.
 

To the taxpayers: Every cent that these useless turds milk is coming out of taxes regardless of who they work for. Those taxes could be used to fix more roads in a timely fashion.

When they close roads they also might make it so that someone does not get their medicine delivery. They may make it so that perishable food can not be delivered.
 

Either notify in advance of rod closures so people can plan around it or screw you get what you deserve.
