  1. What a BS story.

    Also if any drivers are upset over this kind of stuff … they need to get off the road and get to therapy because they’re a danger in the road

  2. Let the drivers be upset then. They shouldn’t be so mean spirited

  5. As we know we can upset drivers. We give them vast swathes of outdoor space, give them priority, build infrastructure for them, let them attempt to murder protesters.

    If we upset them maybe they would… I don’t know, why don’t we want to upset them again?

  6. Honestly if I saw someone faffing around, holding up traffic while Im running late for something I would probably get annoyed. Don’t think anyone would begrudge a few seconds for a high five but for it to get to the point of people complaining I imagine he was probably taking the piss a bit.

  7. We value our employees as pillars of the community but IF THEY DO ANY COMMUNITY STUFF, THEY CAN FUCK OFF, and we look forward to streamlining their efficiency in the future as valued human beings.

  8. Absolutely pathetic. Imagine having such a shit life that seeing this would anger you enough to kick off about it.

  9. I imagine it’s more than just a couple kids getting a high five, its obviously a sensational headline. The real title should be traffic held up by 30 kids queuing to get a high five during rush hour.

  10. If I was one of the drivers I’d be upset too, why isn’t he giving me a high five 🙁

  12. They need to give their fucking head a wobble!

  13. Some people just want to suck the joy out of the whole world. I work in the public sector, sometimes we need to remember that just because someone complains, it doesn’t necessarily make that complaint legitimate. 

  16. We give up so much of our world to cars it’s ridiculous.

  18. Can’t he high five them as well what’s the problem?

  20. Fucking hell some of you in these comments need to lighten up

    How do you not know those high-fives are the highlight of some of those kids days?

    Fuck me, some of you are devoid of a bit of happiness

  23. What a bunch of wankers. The kids and parents should intentionally walk extremely slow across the road until the high fives are reinstated

  24. Love it, drivers are so entitled. Road rage is insane these days which are only exacerbated by narrow roads and high traffic. And they say cyclists are bad.

  25. If you don’t have the time to wait 10s more then you have very poor time managment skills
