turn signals...

Instead of ranting, I'm just going to say FUCK YOU to those who don't use your turning signals.

That is all.

because drivers usually have a cell phone in one hand, coffee in the other, no hand available for turning signal, duh!

While I agree that this is usually the case with people, I can hit the blinker with the pinky finger of the hand that is steering just fine. Not having a free hand is no excuse.
 
This is exactly why I don't own a firearm. If I did, I'd invariably shoot somebody on my commute to or from work for doing something asinine while driving. People drive like they're playing GTA: IRL edition. It's ridiculous.

Every day I'm behind a car that slows down... stops... then turns with no signal. If they would have put a signal on then I would have passed on the opposite side.

When I'm turning onto a street, I see a car... wait for them to pass... they slow down... then turn with no signal. Again. If they signaled, then I would have turned out.

Is this concept just too hard to grasp for most people? I find people that drive work trucks the most guilty.

Even if they signaled, I would recommend AGAINST turning out before they passed (unless they are very far away) because in the event that they end up not turning and they hit you (from you essentially cutting them off), you will most likely be the one at fault.
 
I think more than anything I hate people who don't use their blinkers when switching lanes on the highway. They're usually the ones who like to weave in and out of traffic and ride up on other people's asses. Seriously, if they just used their blinkers before cutting me off, I wouldn't be half as pissed as I am when they don't use them.

I use my signal even when driving like a douche. When people speed up because they see me wanting to change lanes, I fucking change lanes anyways. "That's right douche, back off, I'm getting in this lane whether you like it or not"
 
What I also hate is not only people who don't use them but people who start to turn, THEN turn it on. That defeats the whole purpose.

I don't use my turn signals because I don't want to use up all my turn signal fluid.

Blinker fluid is very expensive and hard to find.
