Turning left (or right) around the world

I had to drive down to WalMart this morning.  Now, this, in and of itself, is not a big deal.  But I got stuck behind someone who had their blinker on. And never turned.  Ever. Evidently, they had switched lanes somewhere and not turned it off.  We usually look at each other and say, "Looks like they are turning left (or right, whichever) around the world." And the other person just chuckles and agrees, and the conversation goes back to whatever it was.  But, oh, how this bugs the living crap out of me!  My blinkers in my last three cars blinked so loud that there was no doubt that they were blinking.

The blinkers are there as a warning system, or symbol, and to leave it on, or to turn it on blocks early, is not a "warning."  By the time you get to where you are turning, the people behind you have given up on you turning!  I say - if it blinks more than 10 - 15 times, that's too much!!

I try not to turn my blinker on until where my turn is, is the next turn.  I don't turn my blinker on and then pass 2 roads and 6 driveways before I turn into my driveway, I turn on the blinker as I pass the driveway 2 doors down (coming from town), or Hoover Road (coming from Felicity).  Plenty of warning for vehicles behind me, seeing that I am also slowing down!

We live in a small town with regular blocks.  As you come into town, people who are turning at 133/Main Street light turn on their blinkers BEFORE they pass the intersection before this intersection.  Yes, driving two whole blocks before they get to where they are turning!  Like this:  <<blinker on>>  Then pass an auto parts store, an antique store/A/C dude combo, an old hotel (no drive - it's on the side street), an intersection, a funeral home driveway, the funeral home parking lot, the parking lot for the dime store, THEN the 133/Main Street intersection where they are turning, and their blinkers have been on this whole time! The first block mentioned is also only  one lane, yet everyone pulls to the right, because as you get the main section of town, it splits into two lanes and no one can seem to wait that long.  Me?  I hang in the center until I have to choose which lane I need and make people mad!  LOL  They either go around me, going over the double yellow into oncoming traffic, or just wait.  Makes my day.  It's only one lane, people!!  And turn your freaking blinker off!!
