Are we putting git quotes on cars now

[-] Pickle_Jr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 2 years ago

Next time I put up a PR and someone leaves a comment I'm going to use this bumper sticker as a response.

One time when I was driving to work, I was stopped waiting for a traffic light behind some other cars, and a guy in the opposite lane was waiting for a gap to turn onto a parking lot.

Traffic started moving, and I was about to go, but decided to stop and let the guy in first.

But from his perspective it looked for a second like I wasn't stopping. And that single hand movement that went from "fuck you" finger to "thank you" wave made my day.

Go towards the end of the zipper and put your turn signal on. I'll let you in.

Don't: go to the end of the zipper with the turn signal on and just follow the shoulder line assuming I'll let you in. You actually have to yield. If you use the shoulder because no one let you in right away and you couldn't be assed to slow down even a little I'll actively block your criminal ass.

What's worst is people trying to get in right a the beginning of the shoulder of a long lane. They cause traffic for both lanes.

Just fucking go to the end of the lane, adjust your speed to merge with traffic.

[-] Neato@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

I actually understand that one. It feels like going to the end is cheating, cutting they line. I used to do that until I learned it was bad for traffic and against design.

Probably because I've seen enough people get IN the ending lane just to zip ahead or people speed down the shoulder past where it ended.

Passenger in a car in this situation right now

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago

[-] GarytheSnail@programming.dev 3 points 2 years ago

Fuck dude, on Christmas eve, too.

[-] CurlyMoustache@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

I can relate. Merging with tears in your eyes is hard

[-] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

IIRC, I saw this one on the Upper Left Coast last month, though it may've been a red hatchback. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[-] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah good luck reading that at freeway speeds

[-] NocturnalEngineer@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

If you're struggling to merge at highway speeds, you're doing it wrong.

[-] HotboxedSubmersible@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

The blinker is a right of passage. /s

[-] SaintWacko@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago

I just saw one of these for the first time a couple days ago!

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

Depends .... cry in angry rage? ... or cry in a crippling sense of powerlessness and hopelessness?

[-] activ8r@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago

Depends on the day. Usually both.

[-] Pickle_Jr@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago

I've never had the urge to get a bumper sticker until now.

[-] AtariDump@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

You’re not a donorcycle and can behave; Comon in.

[-] takeda@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago

Not very well thought of, you need that person to merge in first before you can see it.

[-] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

For most of the world, that's positioned on the corner of the merging vehicle closest to the merge allower (?) vehicle, so... No.

In other words, if you're merging from behind, then you're passing on the right and giving no signal as to your intent. Both are citable offenses and will get your insurance to side with any other drivers you end up colliding with by being a dumbass. 😘

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

We need that one geoguesser guy to figure out where this is

[-] Delphia@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Unless that countries cars are right hand drive.

[-] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago
[-] littlebluespark@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Yes, downvote the correct spelling. Child.

[-] Delphia@lemmy.world -4 points 2 years ago

Yeah I did, because nobody likes pedants. My sentence made sense with the typo, nobody was scratching their head. But like a teachers pet with no teacher to impress you just had to correct a non problem.

[-] LemmyIsFantastic@lemmy.world -4 points 2 years ago

If you're an asshole who can't get up to speed or has to be in front, lolol nah.
