Our Appetizer.: Why don't you use a turn signal?!

November 6, 2013

Why don't you use a turn signal?!

One of my biggest pet peeves is terrible drivers...especially during rush hour. My driving background: I've been driving since I was 15(and a half) and now I'm 23 years old. The only accident I've been in is when some dummy that obviously wasn't paying attention rear-ended me when I was stopped at a red light. Talk about annoying...if he would have just been attentive we wouldn't have been in this debacle. Not only was my car all bent up (and I didn't really care about his car) but we caused traffic....everyone hates traffic! Oh and then he pulled the "Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!" Umm no buddy, you are not sorry because you weren't paying attention!
I know the accident doesn't look that bad but after the cops came and we untangled our cars...his front bumped was shattered (well that sucks...maybe you should have been paying attention) and my back bumper was bent in. Then I went home and made the mistake of getting a book out of my trunk as if I was going to study. Well then problem #2 happened....the trunk would not close AT ALL. 
Thank dummy driver that wasn't paying attention.

Now back to why I'm writing this post. There is nothing that makes me more mad then when people cut me off on the highway anywhere and don't use a turn signal. 
If someone cuts me off and if I rear-end them because they cut me off without using a turn signal I would be the maddest person on that highway at that time. And I know if that would happen the person that cut me off would probably complain and get all attitudy (as if I cared) that I rear-ended them....well if you would just use a darn turn signal and let people know where the heck you want to go then rear-endings(if that's even a word) would not happen! 

In conclusion, I just want to know why people think its a fantastic idea to not use a turning signal on the highway during rush hour!?

Is this one of your big pet peeves? Have you ever gotten in an accident because of turn signal dummies?!

  1. oh gosh, THIS DRIVES ME NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I commute about 40 mins to work everyday and i swear some days it can take 2 hours b/c people are morons and don't know how to drive! Little things like using a freakin' blinker would help tremendously lol.

    1. Ugh I know! It drives me nuts. I live about 20 miles from my work and its an all highway drive, it usually takes me 30-40 minutes to get to work but this morning there was an accident. I'm not trying to be heartless by saying this but the accident probably wouldn't have happened if people just were attentive to the road.

  2. I'm actually planning on writing a whole post about driving. I can understand small little mishaps on the road outside our control but I never can understand a person's thought process. A turn signal for example. It's a little lever/button thing which takes two seconds to touch and turn on and most of them even shut off themselves! If a person can take the time to make a call that's not important or put on make up, they can certainly press a little button thing. I should stop talking...I could go on and on about driving!

    1. I completely agree!! Ugh it makes me so mad! Oh and another thing that just makes me want to pull my hair out is the people that tap their brake every 30 seconds. So when they actually do need to stop I don't believe that they will stop since they had been tapping their breaks for the past 10 miles. haha oh this subject!

  3. I hate when people don't use their turn signal! Or when they wait until the last minute to merge during construction even though there have been signs for miles saying "right lane closed ahead."
