Ahhh,
driving. One of life's little pleasures that would be a hell
of a lot more pleasurable without the other people
participating. Sometimes, you just have to wonder things like
"what in the god damn fuck is going on in that idiot's head!?
Is he seeing things that I'm not? I'm completely confused
here!"
Well, the way I figure, they must indeed be
seeing things. It's fucking impossible for them to be looking
at the same signs I am.
For instance, where I see a
sign that says:
I'm convinced that other drivers see
There's no other explanation for them
deciding to stop driving at a sign that says Yield when
there's no oncoming traffic blocking the direction they will
be turning.
"But Gildersneeze," you ask. "Isn't that
impossible?" To which I reply "Hell no. Just check out these
other examples!"
When I see this sign here, a simple
stop sign:
I'm certain that other drivers see one of two
things, either
 or 
That's great. The former scares the piss out
of anyone who's been hit by people that see the latter. But
neither of these mysterious afflictions of vision match the
enigma that is "The Left Turn Traffic Signal."
We've
all been there, sitting behind someone at one of
these.
All those times, to me, it looked like this:
Of course, that isn't what they see. From
their actions, they must see something like this:
Well, after all that gesticulating, and
inching forward, you'd figure that when the light changes to
the state shown here:
that they'd fucking floor it as hard as
possible, but that's not the case. I swear to fucking whatever
deity is convenient in my mind that they see this:
And heeeeere we go. Regardless of how many
times you blast your horn, wave your hand in a "hurry up"
gesture, or raise your finger in my favorite gesture, nothing,
but NOTHING will shake them from the task that the mighty
green light has bestowed upon them. Well, at any rate not
until I see a symbol that should appear to them like
this:
But they must perceive it like
this:
All this serves to piss me right the hell
off, how about you? What do you figure drivers in your town
see?
edit: Post format sucked. Fixed.
