Don’t Drink and Paint
Another installment in the "I've failed at everything, but maybe I can make it in the exciting industry of road painting."
Maybe this painter is really into abstracts -- could Van Gogh have started this way?

Some lines you just don't want to cross. Then, there's this!

This brought back a bunch of memories. Growing up in South Georgia they hired out road painting to a crew that hired some high school guys to drive the truck painting lines. It was a hot day and when the supervisor went elsewhere they got some beer. Lots of beer. The highway was luckily now a secondary route. The lines were much worse and wandered from side to side subtle so one lane would be run off the road. The arcing turns were really wild. Since they were from "good families" it was excused as heat exhaustion.

If you look at the straight line, the driver was on track. It would have been the programmer who flicked up!

If you can't blame the computer, blame the programmer but most times it's the loose nut on the keyboard that's at fault.

It's not paint. It's tape that has come loose.

Wow, how would you even do that?! :lol:

Ted is correct! The machines that put it down can malfunction or it could be a flaw in the tape. :coolsmile:

When they spray over the dead raccoon, you pick on them.
When they avoid the raccoon, you still pick on them.

I think the same team painted this line on a CNN story about a gunman in Seattle killed:

If you are going to text while painting, don't drive at the same time!

Usually both lines are laid down at the same time. This is obviously a tape system, and the tape was flawed. Probably bought cheap due to budget cuts.
