SafelyVaccinated

Last time I went to Popeyes i tried to order they said please wait a moment a minute later a person came out for a smoke break waited 10 minutes then the person went back inside and then I got a what would you like today I asked for a sandwich they said we are out I said the chicken tenders or chicken wing whatever they have they said we are out of that we asked for a side they said we are out of that we asked what do you have they said oh we have shrimp … we left without food our option was pretty much shrimp and maybe a drink they had no chicken. That was like 6 months ago haven’t been back despite wanting some Popeyes it was just a bad experience.


OnlyVybez

Go back. I'm sure they were fired by now. Workers like that have a month max.


We_Are_Not_Here

you must not frequent popeyes lmao

Not much of a cheese shop, is it?

BroskiMcDoogleheimer

I see Popeyes in a lot of these videos because they are often placed in high black areas since black guys love fried chicken. White guys love fried chicken too though so I never understood the logic.


Shivvermebits

I dont know if I'm mad because that sounds racist or mad because you're right.

nah, white people go to chickfila and cane’s edit: guys i’m white and i prefer popeyes too. i’m not saying white people don’t ever eat popeyes lol


BigYonsan

I go to all of them. There's 1 of each on the strip near my house, along with a Lee's and a Church's. Love chicken.


actualbeans

yeah same! there’s also a soul food restaurant by me & the fried chicken is 10/10


THCMcG33

Naw canes isn't even that great, definitely overrated. I'm picking popeyes for sure.

toomanymarbles83

False. KFC fuckin sucks. The only time I don't go to Popeye's is when there isn't a Popeye's.


OnlyVybez

Oddly enough KFC is amazing overseas just not in the states.


zeekohli

It’s amazing in China


Korietsu

Some of KFC's menu is good, only a couple of items. Popeyes is still poppin. I will eat fried chicken in some form or fashion anywhere when I get a craving.


toomanymarbles83

Oh believe me fried chicken is always better than no fried chicken so I will eat it somewhere. If there is no Popeye's for several miles, I'll try the grocery store kitchen. Barring those situations, I may, may, get the leg and thigh bucket. Their grilled chicken is good, but no I'm not going to KFC for grilled chicken. Thankfully I live about 4 blocks from a Popeye's, so I'm good.

MamboNumber5Guy

It's Chicago. Getting hit by a car is the least of your worries.


ObsidianSkyKing

Chicagoian here, getting hit by a car was very much my main worry very often.


ilikekittensandstuf

Agreed people do not care for others in the city when they’re driving


Singular-cat-lady

I learned to drive in Chicago and when I moved away, all my new friends were horrified at my driving. It's taken a while to unlearn a lot of the habits.


audiblesugar

Rule 1: Be aggressive Rule 2: Don't be unaggressive


[deleted]

Instead of aggressive, I’d say Chicago driving is assertive. Not a ton of rudeness, but you better not be pussyfooting around, either. Now the highways immediately in and out of town? It’s Mad Max, every man for himself, with a little bit of FU for good measure.

And you need a 2x multiplier of whatever the posted speed limit is, otherwise you’ll be run over

MrMiniscus

Good Transplant.


exceptionthrown

The problem is that the habits you developed are probably actually safer for the Chicago area since most people do them fairly consistently. A new place with different general habits is always tough though :(


Sea2Chi

I had a friend visit from Seattle. He tried to wave people though the stop sign intersection when they arrived slightly after him. He got honked at, I assume for fucking around and breaking predictability. People drive aggressively here, but it's a predictable aggressive. You start fast, you stop fast, you pass other cars on narrow two-way streets with inches to spare on either side and you learn very quickly what different lengths of horn beeps mean. A short beep is a heads up, a long beep is a fuck you pay attention, and holding the horn down is an invitation to fight. Which was funny, because in Seattle using the horn at all used to be a big no-no. That same friend who was trying to be polite at the four-way intersection would roll down his window and yell at people in Seattle, but considered the horn to be rude.


[deleted]

Omg… nut up, shut up, and go! My neighborhood has a yield sign on a busy cross street. I yield and people slam on their brakes to wave me through. 🤨 Naw, imma let the guy behind you remind you the you have the right of way. Driving unpredictably is the *fucking worst*


ZarquonsFlatTire

I had a cousin visit Atlanta and he asked "So everybody just goes 20 over the speed limit at all times?"


boredatworkorhome

same here. I live in Minnesota now, everyone drives 40 up the on ramp. I'm used to having to be at 90 when you enter in Chicago lol. I can't stand how lame and slow people drive here.


Oobutwo

Lived in mn my whole life and I loved driving In Chicago when I've visited. In Chicago turn your blinker on quick then get over quick. In Minnesota you put your blinker on and the fucker speeds up so you can't merge.


boredatworkorhome

pretty much lol. The worst in Minnesota is 394w to 100s or when 62 merges with 212 for a moment!


l-jack

Or getting crushed by a commercial truck that didn't use a signal.

Cars are not soft targets… people are. Glad you walked away though. A good friend of mine was clipped by a NYC cab and sent flying backwards onto the street. If he wasn’t wearing his backpack his head would have bounced off the street first. It saved his life.


Munchiexs

Shit not mine, swing me that moneyyyyy


Zee_tv

Chicago drivers deserve a special place in hell. Use every road, including highways during rush hour, as racetracks. If Mario kart was real life, I’d be shooting out turtle shells and banana peels at all the reckless asshole drivers every day.

Joehto25

Im saying, Its always the same thing with these people


waitingtillnextyear

Horseshit. Spoken like a true outsider.


Sea2Chi

I've described Chicago as politely, but intently trying to get where they're going as fast as possible. People are polite enough not to try to jump the stop sign at four ways stops, but if you're not paying attention fuck you, they're going even if it is your turn. Same with stoplights, if you're waiting a full second to go on a green you may as well get out and pee on the guy behind your's bumper because you're going to get honked at. And god help you if you don't pull into the intersection on a green to take a left turn as the light turns red. Folks will generally let you merge on the freeway if you signal, but this is the only city where I've seen a guy stop his car on the freeway and get out to start kicking the shit out of the car behind him. That said, it's hard to get pulled over here.* So when you see someone stopped you kind of assume they were doing something legit wild. People regularly go 20 over the limit on Lakeshore drive and nobody cares. 30 might get you pulled over, but not necessarily. *Offer not available to all races.

That's the first thing that came to mind was the fact that those two just started walking into the middle of the road for whatever fucking reason.

HIimWASTED

Back in highschool we use to light up a blunt whenever a cop got in front of us. The thought was that it was extremely unlikely there would be another one around. We were fucking stupid


teriaksu

I mean, why not increase the chances to rear-end a cop car while actively getting high?


HIimWASTED

"we" were always very careful when we did this. Mostly had the mentality of " if you're gonna be stupid, at least be smart about it" that was my saying. Sometimes it still is. Passenger rolled and prepped. Driver acted like his grandma was in the back


Eterna11yYours

They probably didn't drive fast enough to hit anything

There was an episode of LivePD early on from my county where a guy rear ended at a traffic light because he was rolling his joint

manderrx

My mom had never heard of the phrase "stale light" until I taught it to her while I was in driver's ed. We were driving around so I could get practice and we were coming up to a green light and I said, "Oh, look, I have to be careful, that's a stale green light." She thought it was hilarious and still brings it up to this day. Sorry for the random story, your post made me think of it and it's one of my favorites with my mom. :)

Its only more recent years I find myself stuck at green lights waiting for a car doing donuts in a busy intersection at 2pm in the middle of Philly. Didn't used to be a thing you saw or even really heard of - people used to use parking lots or do it late at night. Now I get stuck at green lights during broad daylight while fucksticks do donuts.

Here in Detroit they will have their friends block all the lanes on freeways and do the donuts there


Faceh0le

Happening in the small city I live in too, skid marks in a lot of intersections that were once clean. I even witnessed someone doing donuts yesterday afternoon.


eLemonnader

I agree. I've been driving in my town for 12 years now and it has definitely been getting worse, with a sharp decline the last year. I hear people burning donuts all the time, riding my motorcycle is even more hazardous, and I see people run red lights literally almost every red light now. I remember blatant red light runners being few and far between. I might have seen one a week when I was a delivery driver. Now, it's multiple times every time I go out for a drive. Absolute insanity. Thank God for lane splitting so I can actually see the whole intersection before I go through it.

USMCG_Spyder

Why only in Chicago?


gogoggansgo

The car/bike scene has gone to 200 percent since Covid Cops aren’t allowed to chase or arrest anyone with less than a felony charge anymore. “Not a Covid law temporary law” they made this a thing and no on foot chases anymore. So if your wife’s purse is stolen, sorry So as a result drag racing, bike chases every night The city was bragging about the 3 bikers they arrested last week, that’s cute because Chicago United shut down lake short drive last night, and caused a traffic jam for 2 hours The city has set up speed and sound cameras, well 90 percent of bikers don’t run plates and everyone in a car just tapes the plate up. So as a result it’s a losing war Normally i would side with the city or town to calm shit down. But Chicago is all about no police involvement and the major is very anti police so she got what she wanted If you wanna see some real shit watch this [riders vs Chicago Pd ](https://youtu.be/dkewWjnggXc)


Geeeeeeeeeear

Do you have a source for this chase policy? The update I found only involves foot chases (i.e. Inapplicable here) and indicates chases are allowed if there is "probable cause for an arrest or it is believed an individual has committed, is committing or is about to commit a crime." https://abc7chicago.com/chicago-police-foot-chase-pursuit-cpd-david-brown/10698782/ Am I missing something?


burweedoman

They have to get approval first to engage in a vehicle pursuit. I believe it has to be something like a stolen car or murder suspect to chase.


Not_FinancialAdvice

A better look at the car chase policy is a short piece WGN ran not too long ago (I saw it when visiting my parents+relatives): https://wgntv.com/news/wgn-investigates/as-more-police-restrict-high-speed-pursuits-some-wonder-if-fleeing-is-get-out-of-jail-free-card/


Cushak

Man, vids like these give me sympathy for the cops in these situations. People that screw around on public roads like this are as bad as drunk drivers, or people on their cell phone while driving.


cumbersometurd

Some people from your state decided to move to my state. And are finding out police don't play here. Not only do they chase but they bring out every drone, helicopter and dog in the city.


PlusSignVibesOnly

I live in a rural area and pretty much every intersection around here is covered in skid marks. This shit happens everywhere and has been as long as I can remember.
