I really hate Bayani and the MMDA

I would like to commend the Metro Manila Development Authority for the spectacularly idiotic job it did with the traffic on Commonwealth Avenue during the wake of the INC's Father Manalo. On Sunday evening, just before midnight, it took me more than two hours to travel a distance of less than two kilometers, because those nitwits closed the Quezon Circle-bound lanes to let the mourners take it over as if it were some kind of fairground. They split the Fairview-bound lanes between the two opposite streams of traffic, then allowed people to park their cars along the road AND let pedestrians weave around the morass of moving vehicles like clutches of escaping poultry. Only one car, in that congealed mess of hundreds, could get itself past that gauntlet every ten minutes. The geniuses at the MMDA tried to divide the road with dark-orange traffic cones that you can't clearly see unless you're the Six Million Dollar Man, so whenever a string of vehicles inadvertently crossed over the intended line because they couldn't tell where it was in the first place, a traffic aide came and moved the cones over like a helpless moron, and what ought to have been a straight line of traffic cones became a wavy series of s's. As a result of this Guinness Book-worthy example of boneheaded management by a government institution, I found myself, at one point, directly in the path of a humongous gas truck that was going the opposite direction.

I didn't reach home until after two in the morning. I hadn't had dinner, but I was already too tired to even get myself a glass of milk. I'm sure I wasn't the only one who fell exhaustedly into bed with this thought in his head. I hate Bayani and the MMDA.
