And filling in a pothole takes work. There's been a contractor bag full of garbage next to the new walkway near my house since August.

Has Wanksy taught us nothing?

the plug has me thinking this is one of those recliners with the massage function, my brother and a friend of his had ones like that a, long time ago, guessing it stopped working and was tossed out

In Michigan, all the road inspectors have to be 5'5. They stand in the pothole, and if they can see daylight looking straight ahead, they let it go for a year.
WhistlePig
Or that damned cold patch they use. The road department knows it's gonna fail and they hate putting it down. It ruins their reputation. Starts in politics :(

I have a version of that recliner in that exact color! Also, maintenance isn't sexy and isn't funded or prioritized adequately in most places. Sucks but it's true.

Why spend the money on things its supposed to be spend on when you can "lose" the money to a friends business who then invites you on a vacation to the bahamas and pays to put your son in a private school.

Fill it with soil and plant some flowers.

And when you call in they always claim this is the first they’ve heard of it.

My dude is a hero, but not a legend like Wanksy. Drawin' dicks on potholes.

When I was younger, a friend of mine hit a pothole and nearly tore his oil pan off, did a fair bit of damage. We managed to limp back to his house, and he immediately called the city to file a report. The woman on the phone told him to come down tomorrow in person with pictures of the damage and the pothole. He told her he had to go back for pictures. This was before phones had cameras so we jump in my car to go grab pictures, and by the time we arrived there was a crew filling it in.
RooGryphon
pothole problems? i got an idea. it involves a sprey paint can and dicks
dumbledong69
Throw on your best trouble making outfit and spray paint a big ol dong on it
rubypilgrim
I have heard that if you spraypaint a penis around a pothole, the city is more likely to fix it. Worth an experiment, anyway.

tell your cat i said she's pretty

There's 3 massive potholes behind a well used back road and I'm shocked they haven't been fixed yet. I hit one the other day. My tire's F*ed
Onlyhereforthelaughs
Wanksy it. (Google it, you won't be disappointed)
aThingWithTheStufAndTheJunk
Yeah nobody's fixing that unless that waterfront gets developed.
preparetobeunderwhelmed
Yeah, I’m pretty sure that pothole has been there for a few years, just getting bigger every winter
thefreegirl
Is that out by applebees? Never thought I would see my home town on here 🤣
preparetobeunderwhelmed
Yes, it is! It’s the access road. There are tens of us on here, tens I say!
rbudrick
Don't people know drawing giant dicks over these or dicks with the local politician's name on it gets these fixed immediately?

As someone who used to work in city government. Yup. Throw in at least two employees stealing from the tax payers.

Spray paint some NSFW art on it. They'll be paving over it by Monday.
swedeonamoose
In Northern Sweden that art would be there until nature removed the paint =_=

OK, that's on me. I made the bar too low.

I just love how the British call it a Spirit Level. They are not concerned if there are Spirits only the amount of spirits, and this somehow determines the direction of gravity.

It's called a Spirit Level because once you've finished you can crack it open and have a drink

Like with glow sticks!

But without the glow pee
Sulexar
Is there tax money available to fix it, or did everyone vote for lower taxes because they think this kind of stuff gets fixed for free?
aThingWithTheStufAndTheJunk
It's a beach town so the money gets spent on making tourists happy. It's December so there are no tourists.
preparetobeunderwhelmed
It’s a fairly conservative area, so taxes = bad man unfairly taking my money
Sulexar
But surely the leopards would never eat YOUR face.
usualnamewasteken
Roads are unsustainable anyway. Raising taxes doesn't help to fix them.
preparetobeunderwhelmed
I will agree with you on that one
preparetobeunderwhelmed
Mainly because I’d like to see more walkable communities, more bike-friendly communities. They always seem to find somewhere else for the tax money to go, too. No matter if they say they’re raising taxes to fix the roads, the money ends up going elsewhere
IDontKnowWhatToDoAnymoreAndImTired
No offense, but thinking you can get rid of roads and cars in favor of bikes is like thinking you can get rid of farms because people have windowbox tomato plants. One size most definitely does not fit all.
preparetobeunderwhelmed
Oh no, we definitely can’t get rid of roads, altogether. I’m not that naive, maybe just some wishful thinking on my part?
usualnamewasteken
Not entirely. But we need to reduce they're use. The ones we keep would last longer, and having walkable communities helps commerce, so more taxes to maintain crap. Plus, other forms of transit can make money. Roads _can't_ make money. (unless you want the gas tax to go waaaaay up)

That’s a bang up job there Darren. Now go report it to Karen.
Gruesslibaer
The real bang up job is done on your axle and undercarriage.

I remember this, in the end they deleted their tweet. I doubt they fixed the pothole despite being caught fudging the figures on potholes.
monkeyboy396
iirc it was checked again following the huge internet backlash and actually fixed. Still super dumb though.
theGrumptastic
That's not the top level!!!!!

Oh, Darren knows, but he works for the government, so he has no intention of doing any actual work.

Lol, where is this from?

Like how his tiny level isn't even at the level of the road?
shivacat
He’s a government worker. Likely drank his breakfast before heading out to work.
swedeonamoose
Part of me really wants to think its just some odd middle of the road raiser or something but deep down i know it is most likely not.
nclu
It is in fact the opposite, a middle of the road lowerer
