The Seattle Department of Transportation– a government agency that survives on taxpayer dollars and exists to serve the people– sent out a highly inappropriate tweet earlier this morning. Apparently, the Seattle DOT thinks commuters traveling via cars are all “scumbags.” Check out the bizarre tweet below:
You get a scumbag hat, you get get a scumbag hat, everyone gets a scumbag hat! haha I’m mean #sorry pic.twitter.com/gFLywKZlEI

While it is somewhat unprofessional to be circulating rather crude internet memes on a government agency’s twitter feed, the “scumbag hat” is a common internet meme meant to be tongue in cheek. seattledot is not actually calling drivers scumbags.

Yup… got the scumbag hat reference but I believe the purpose is to place scumbag hats on people you think are scumbags…
