I think some of the things you have described are matters of identification and definition (not to mention recognition) rather than fact. The guy who blew up took his chances and paid the price, but it was not inevitable. Regional dialect and habits are really just that.

All this drives me completely batshit.

AMERICAN INTERSECTION RULES FOR DRIVERS. Very important.

If two people are opposing each other at a stop sign intersection, and one of them is going straight through and the other is SIGNALING to make a left turn, the person GOING STRAIGHT THROUGH has the right of way, and needs to go first. If you're the one making a left turn, DON'T cut them off. Wait for them to go, then you can go. You can prepare to make the turn, but until the other party crosses the intersection, that's ALL you're supposed to do.

If you're opposite a person at an intersection who is signaling to make a left turn, and you're planning on going straight through, and they ease forward into the intersection slightly (30-40%), THAT'S KOSHER. It doesn't mean they're making the turn. It SHOULD mean that they're PREPARING to make the turn. You should go straight through unless they're showing signs of actually beginning to make the turn (i.e., starting to swing the car left). In that case, they need driving lessons and they're in the wrong. Be careful!

Easily 60% or more of the people I see at stop sign intersections presumably have driver licenses but have NO IDEA of the rules they're supposed to be following. They shouldn't have those licenses if they are confused about these basic procedures, which are based on pure logic.


You have just hit apon my biggest pet peeve.
People do NOT know how to drive here either.
I always get some little punk ass riding on my tail and I wonder if he/she realizes that if I had to stop suddenly,that he/she would be crashed in MY KIDS SEAT??? ooooo that pisses me off.
I went to get my NC driver's license awhile back and didn't bother to look at the book, I was thinking "all these MORONS drive here,what's the point?"
Well I FAILED it!
It had no questions about road rules except the one about "If a blind person comes to an unmarked crosswalk,and holds his stick up... blah blah blah."
The rest were these obscure laws in referrance to drunk driving. (apparently everybody is a bad driver here because they are constantly drinking and need to know the rules so they can escape the cops unless of course they are part of the crowd that pay them off every month so they can do anything they damn well please)

People also need to chill the fuck out when they drive-there are too many accidents and deaths because people are NOT PAYING attention and road rage.
This little 6 year boy was recently shot accidently because of road rage-that is the MOST senseless and tragic kind of death I can imagine.

there is no such word as 'irregardless' - if there were it would mean "without regard to there being no regard"

the noun is quotation as in " i have a quotation from Abraham Lincoln" not 'quote' - 'quote' is the verb as in "so I am now going to quote Lincoln"

damnit

I was preparing a smart ass comeback, but decided to just laugh instead :)




Something else that drove me nearly insane while i was unemployed. Watching court shows like the people's court and judge judy, and the friggin white-trash idiots back talking the judge like a rebellios 16 year old. What the hell are they thinking? I have seen people lose cases for the full amount simply because they pissed off the judge! Is your 2 cents really worth $5000? I dont think so...

I hate it when when people change words such as This and That to Dis and Dat...Or instead of saying maybe they say maybies.

Something I've just noticed lately, maybe they've always done it and I just didn't notice, but on the news when a person is missing, they say "whatshisname has gone missing". How do you do GO missing?
