Hey asshole! Your turn signal is neither a suggestion nor a decorative accessory!
I was actually going to leave it at just the above line, but here's the thing... It pisses me off when people don't use the turn signal because it buggers things up when I'm trying to be nice to them. Where I live, where I work, it's all nicely situated so that I pretty much can walk anywhere I need to go on a regular basis. As a pedestrian, I realize that it takes me longer to cross a street than a car would take.
So what do I do at intersections where I have to cross twice (say, from north to south then east to west) and there is a car waiting to go as well? I look at its turn signal. Whether it's blinking or not will determine which way I cross first so the driver doesn't have to wait.
Because of this, it friggin' pisses me off when I don't see a blinker so cross parallel with the car only to see it turn behind me. ARRRRRGH! You're not just being an asshole when you don't use your turn signal, you're breaking the friggin' law!
Don't think for a moment that just because I'm usually a pedestrian that I don't know how to drive. I can drive. Because of this, I know how conveniently placed the turn signals are placed by the steering wheel of most motor vehicles. It's just one little flick of the fingers and CLICK FRIGGIN' CLICK CLICK!
Thank you for listening, and safe driving.Labels: assholeishness, common courtesy, drivers, traffic laws, turn signals
