>if you’re encountering vehicles so frequently in the left lane that you feel the need to plead with them online to move over, perhaps it’s time to slow down a bit.

Was thinking the same. I'm always at the speed limit or 5-10 over and there's always somebody on my ass. People just wanna do 30mph and somehow that's the right thing 🙄. I generally stay out of the left lane anyways because I don't have to drive fast, I leave with time to get where I need to go. Protip: Leave yourself enough time and you don't need to speed. 🤷‍♀️

Agreed. Ever since then I've been totally weary of the city. I moved out the following week, broke my lease and all I dc. And I'm just more fearful in general but I've talked to prolly 10 ppl who have experienced similar personally nevermind the news stories and it's 100% no disrespect/shit on anyone who lives there, I lived there myself and at one point thought it was a cool place.

It's more or less just upset that somewhere I wanted to be once upon a time ago is over run by crime and losers. Even when I drive thru now it's just like wtf. Maybe 6 weeks ago I went out to a bar with a friend. On our way home I saw a group of people fist fighting and kicking a guy on the ground stomping on him. It's like...not a good (even ok) place anymore. I won't even go back for a bar/club now. I just wish it wasn't so crime ridden and I don't fully get why or when it got so bad. 10 years ago even I loved being there, it wasn't perfect but like...it's way worse now. EP I'd still visit and my cousin lives on the east side in a good neighborhood but most of prov is scary these days sadly.

And yes waterplace park is out of sight in hindsight (20/20). The guy who ran and helped me was in a friggin full suit and tie. I don't even kno his name but he's my God damn hero. He chased off 3 guys and a girl wailing on me. People like that restore my faith in humanity cuz he could've turned and ignored it but chose to help and risk his own safety. I hope that dude has wonderful karma.

Eh that's almost like its own thing. Some parts seem a world away from Prov itself. But comment stands imo...Prov generally speaking has gotten really bad. I live in Smithfield now. I promise I can go sit on a bench in my local park without some thugs grabbing me, throwing me to the ground and kicking me in the ribs and head while demanding my stuff. Sorry if I seem a little bitter but ngl that kind of experience stays with one and will change how one sees things. I had to go to the hospital. I was worried for an instant I might die. If not for a random good Samaritan coming to my rescue I just dk. I had nightmares for months after and occasionally still do. Fuck providence. Not a safe place. A person should be able to enjoy a bench in a park in broad daylight without being attacked...if they can't, then yeah that city is garbage. Not like I'm the only one or my experience is shockingly rare as someone else here already noted.

I had a similar experience sitting in Providence. Waterplace park, broad daylight. Some crackhead losers "Give me your phone. Give me your money" Upset I didn't have cash, who carries cash these days? Especially around shit hole Providence. City is garbage. I avoid now at all costs.

Me2. Though I feel like if there's anything in there I have no clue what it is, so they can go ahead and delete it. But I'm sure there's people out there who have stuff they want. But mine's a 16 year old email. I forgot all about it and assumed it was already gone tbh. I wouldn't have known about this notice if you hadn't posted this. I bet someone will be greatful tho. Good tip.

Right. I also feel like it's a time for festivities and parties but got told in these comments that that's what "losers" do and "cocaine is a helluva drug" so whatever. Eating is probably what "fatasses" do according to some of these judgemental fux. Big surprise the RI sub reddit would be full of A-holes lmao. Not all of course, had a few silly/nice comments but it was about 50% douchebag.
