Who Put The Bump


Who puts these speed bumps in parking lots? I understand the purpose is to keep people going at a reasonable speed.   Some are like little rides, kind of fun and they tickle my tummy. I wonder if less fortunate people tell their kids they are going  to an amusement park and just drive around Stop & Shop and hear the kids go "wheee" in the back seat. Some are too high and result in a thud that I am sure has destroyed the undercarriage of my car.  On occasion I hit it too hard and I am expecting to go home and discover a dozen broken eggs in my shopping bag. Let me just say, they don't really work. They frustrate people and inspire them to speed up in between the bumps, which is usually where I am walking. Most of the time they are painted yellow, so you can at least see them, but sometimes they aren't. Have you experienced the unforseen speed bump? That's the ride I don't like going on. It's the Space Mountain of speed bumps. I'm always thankful I didn't eat a hot dog before hitting one of those.
