There are so many people like this. Even here in this thread.
He even took the picture while still driving. Imagine veing crippled for the rest of your life because some fatass needs to eat a whole chicken while driving.
What is the charge? Enjoying a meal? A succulent, rotisserie meal?
I'm really enjoying that this meme has re-entered the zeitgeist for whatever reason.
MFs like this are why we really need public transit. This dude is sharing the road with everyone else while he's trying to eat chicken and shitpost. He could be doing that without endangering everybody else (though he's probably deservedly catch some shit about eating a rotisserie chicken tbh) on a train.
Yeah. Many don't understand that at least 15% of drivers should have their license revoked. But we can't do that when there are no viable alternatives. So instead they get to roll the dice daily until they maybe kill themselves or others.
"other people are bad drivers" isn't that hard of a sell tbh. The problem comes when you try to suggest alternatives.

I dunno... is he sharing? And can I get a drumstick?
As a typical American with little public transit experience, I'm right there with you. My understanding from people who do use public transit, though, is that eating a meal on the metro is a heresy deserving of immediate and excruciating death.
Its a sensory thing IMO. You're subjecting a captive audience to smells that may linger. Not to mention potentially making a mess for someone else to clean up
Just going at a rotisserie like Cookie Monster would be rude, but regular riders learn to ignore most things, so I doubt anyone would say anything.
That mental image, Jesus christ
In general, yeah. But it really depends; if it's a mom and her kid, or if it looks like someone shuttling between multiple jobs and this is the only time they have, then I'd give em a pass.
Naw he needs to stay on the road. I aint trying to be smelling everyones full meals on the train home.
I say as my citys public transit, which is poorly/corruptly run, is about to lessen services even further. Sad times.
I don't know what the rules are on public transit near you. But the ones I use don't allow food/drinks.
I question why this person still has a valid license if they care so little about everyone else that they couldn't stay in their own lane.
Not to mention they clearly took the pic of the ticket while driving.
They wanted to share the chicken with the others
Okay but even if we forgive that, it looks like they're taking a picture of the ticket while driving.
Passing a drumstick to your fellow commuter in the next lane out the window at highway speeds should be part of the drivers Ed curriculum.
I got pulled over in the 90's for eating a bag of chips. I never left my lane, but every time I reached over into the passengers seat I would swerve a little.
It was late afternoon. I saw the cop behind me. I was doing the speed limit, but he was kind of close. I just figured he'd go around at some point. no lights, no siren. Finally, BULLHORN: PULL OVER.
K, so I pull over. Driver gets out and stays by the door hand on weapon, Passenger walks up to my drivers door, license and reg, yada yada. Have you been drinking? no. Why didn't you pull over? I just did. Why didn't you pull over back after the stoplight when we turned the lights on? What lights?
He looked back. No forward lights on.
Ohhh shit... umm he's a trainee.... Look, we pulled you over because you were swerving a bit
Ahh, sorry, I was starving points at chip bag
oh, ok, just be careful.
What kind of chips
Would have been a bag of Doritos probably can't say that I remember for sure.
Paprika.

Yes, it does happen all the time. And the consequences are not always just a ticket.
I had a co-worker get a warning once for eating leftover pizza. I've seen my mom eat the messiest sandwich and get off with a warning. It really depends on how many kids you have to drop off. No one fucks with a hungry momma bear.
There's eating food and there's eating food and swerving out of your lane
Sank his teeth into a hot chick when
She sent you on a Costco run alone. She knew the score.
Since when can't you eat and drive?
When it makes you swerve into another lane?
It's a skill issue.
What is the charge? Eating a meal? A succulent chinese meal?
Some places will fine you even if you can demonstrably still drive perfectly well even to do complicated maneuvers, because if the law says you have to be driving in a good position to keep in perfect control of your vehicle at all times it means cops can fine you for anything.
Isn't it more about the reaction times to unplanned things?
This is literally me, I'll eat tacos while driving.
Hell last week I ate a full pizza while driving on the highway and at some point I mentally stopped when I realized I had eaten it all and said "this might be problematic"
So glad I don't drive anymore
and this is why people that eat vegetables live longer, it's far less distracting to eat a carrot or apple than a juicy roricery chicken.
