Out for a spin today, I had the misfortune of being in a "sharrow" with a driver staring at his cell phone. He came through close enough to me that I'd had to shift into the turning lane to my right, which was thankfully empty. When I caught up to him at the light (where he was stopped on top of the "sharrow" paint mark), it took me three "Hellos" before I could divert his attention from the phone. I pointed out that it was a shared lane, and that he'd cut it short, and he shrugged.

Satire is tragedy plus time. You give it enough time, the public, the reviewers will allow you to satirize it. Which is rather ridiculous, when you think about it.
