Turn Signals & Lack Thereof

One of my Dad's pet peeves was drivers who didn't use their turn signal.

A common phrase we heard A LOT: "I work for Ford, so I know they put turn signals on *insert name of car here*."

It seems this pet peeve has been inherited, because holy shit! How lazy does a person have to be where it's a chore to raise your arm up a bit and nudge a plastic bar? Or did I miss the memo saying using your turn signals is so not cool? Like, as if.

Regardless, it's annoying. They put turn signals on a car for a fucking reason. That fucking reason is to alert those behind you that they'll probably be slowing down soon or moving into the same lane as you. Just a little heads up.

It's a good thing they don't give us the option of using brake lights. Unless of course your brake lights are burnt out. Which is an entirely other blog post.
