Had a dude on a bike the other day give the raised-hand arm signal for his turn. Mad respects to that dude.

The reason people do not use turn signals is because if you do indicate that you want to change lanes then the other cars will speed up to cut you off.

I always use my turn signal if I'm turning left or right on to another road. I also use my turn signal if I'm going from the right lane to the left to pass someone.

However if I'm in the left lane and have to pass some chucklefrick camping in the left lane on the right, I never use my turn signal. Too many instances of same said chucklefrick speeding up. Same with passing someone on a two lane road.

In Baton Rouge, it’s usually to pull in to an adjacent driveway since developers don’t ever connect parking lots in places like Essen or Siegen


Actually, Siegen is the only place I know in BR that has connecting parking lots. You can get from Industriplex to Reiger without having to go back out to Siegen.

No, that's not all you can do. You can do like I do and roll down your window, lean out as far as you can and flip them off while yelling 'frick you'. Then you have to say 'Yeah you!' because nobody ever knows why you're so pissed.

Nothing pisses me off more than watching someone go through a stop sign without even thinking about stopping to cut you off on a 2 lane highway.

They usually proceed to drive 5 mph under the speed limit. Happens daily to me.

You gotta help me out on that. If I'm in the Target shopping center, can I get to Industriplex and/or Rieger without hitting Siegen?

I can never remember which way is right and which way is left so I don’t use them.

Denver is the worst. Lack of oxygen I thought but seems like the affliction has spread.

Turns signals are symbols of racism and white supremacy.

It only annoys me if I'm trying to turn left on a road and you dont turn your fricking blinker on to let me know you arent going to go past me.

Across the street, yes. You can get from Academy to Reiger without going back to Siegen.

Mine is when you use a turn signal to switch lanes and people speed up to prevent you from switching lanes. I sometimes times refer to it as the F me signal.


You 100% pass in the right lane when traffic is backed up. That’s the only time I’ll ever speed up to prevent someone from getting over. God damn trucks driving side by side on the interstate and assholes passing in the right lane and cutting people off because their time is so fricking valuable that they HAVE to get by those trucks before just one more car.
