He's talking about roads that have a joint left hand turn lane for traffic in both directions. She's turning left onto said road when the traffic coming from the left clears and then waits in that middle lane until the traffic moving the other direction clears and then basically merges onto the road. It's definitely possible to do this without getting in anyone's way by just making sure you're stopped in an area that isn't across from any driveway or street. In fact on some really busy roads it's borderline necessary if you want to make a left turn.

When will someone create the perfect jar for the times I have forgotten to pick up a new jar of peanut butter or jam for toast in the morning I can scrape out just enough for breakfast?

Stop putting those stupid little decorative ridges and bumps in jars. Straight walls only down to a slightly curved transition to a flat base.

I'm hoping you are still in your teens or the father of a daughter who is doing this and you are just monitoring her activity. Otherwise.....

I still have no idea what's going on in that turn situation. I'll reread it. I know how (mutual) turn lanes work.

I just read, reread, and rereread it and now I am pissed because it still makes no sense to me.

Driving simulation descriptions need pictures or charts.

I'm pretty sure this is what he's referring to.



The person in CAR wants to turn left. Instead of waiting for the traffic in both directions to clear, she turns into the mutual middle turn lane after the traffic in one direction clears. She then waits for the traffic moving the other direction to clear at which point you pulls out of the turn lane.

It's also possible he's talking about a boulevard situation with separate turn lanes. Same type of idea except in this case there is basically no way she can guarantee she won't get in the way.

Cars in right lane at stoplight that are not making a right turn, blocking those that are making right turns.

None of this cleared it up for me. Could you put OP in a red car waving his finger, shaking his head, and mouthing "NO NO NO" at her?

2 things that have really been pissing me off lately that shouldn't....

When I'm watching ESPN and getting score updates from the crawler(ex: NCAA scores) and it's 4-5 updates away from coming up. I sit there reading all the other updates waiting 2-3 mins for the 1 I want and they cut to a local commercial right as the update I want comes up. The local commercials take up the whole screen so I end up missing the update I wanted. I know it's only 3-5 mins away from coming up again but I get PO'd b/c I just wasted a couple mins for nothing.

When I'm watching a movie/TV show late at night and the emergency weather test comes up right in the middle of a pivotal plot scene. Almost ruins the show some times.

another driving related one: i get this awesome self-satisfaction when there's two 40-45mph roads, each with two lanes and a turn lane for exiting into neighborhoods because this is the suburbs, and some lady does this frogger move where she hops from one side of the road to the middle with the plan to stop and re-evaluate, but in doing so obstructs both turn lanes so that now if somebody needs to turn into a neighborhood they're going to obstruct her view of oncoming traffic. every time i look it's a woman, she's clearly re-evaluating, and i always smugly honk and wave my finger at her and mouth 'nonono'. it's probably legal and shouldn't piss me off but it does. pretty much any mistake people make while driving pisses me off even after having meditated a lot.

Good one. I got a girl on my feed who constantly talks about her friends by saying "My sister Brina", etc. She just got work done on her car and referred to her friends' brothers as her brothers. Just shut up.

When describing a hand saying "I woke up with" usually ends with aces. Stupidest saying in poker and needs to stop.

Also people who fold out of turn apologizing to the person who is thinking. How about you apologize to everyone else in the hand who weren't privy to this extra information you just gave the person who is thinking. If anything, the other person should thank you.

Seriously though I don't understand why those idiots who fold out of turn apologize to the person acting. That helps them and hurts everyone else. Anyone who folds out of turn should be thrown out of the casino for obvious collusion.
