<p>re: not using turn signals… I know a man who won’t. He says “I don’t want to tip my hand.” (Yes, I live in Massachusetts)</p>

<p>Gwen - That’s my laugh of the day.</p>
<p>But I wouldn’t be laughing if I drove in Massachusetts.</p>
<p>It’s not the Mass. drivers who don’t use turn signals who infuriate me. It’s the ones who use them–but only at the last minute, when they’re already starting the turn and it’s too late for the signal to communicate anything useful. I guess they think we can’t see them turning unless the signal is on. As a young adult moving here from New Jersey, I found this baffling, but I’m used to it now.</p>
<p>People with knee-jerk reactions to anything.</p>
<p>“Every person who says this is a bigot!”</p>
<p>“Every person who does that should be locked up for life!”</p>
<p>"All people from that place are like this!"</p>
<p>"I tried that once and didn’t like it, so it should be banned!"</p>
<p>“I’m disgusted by this, and if you aren’t, then I’m disgusted by you, too!”</p>
<p>Nothing jeopardizes my faith in humanity like people who value their righteous indignation more than their ability to think freely.</p>
<p>I hope someone from CC recognizes himself or herself in this post.</p>
<p>I don’t get why our high schools have classes in health but not classes in finance.</p>
