Today's Question(s):
inspired by Stripes17 answer and M Mikes answer to Stripes answer on yesterdays QOTD

Do you regularly use your Blinkers (turn signals) when making turns ?
Yes, most of the time

How about when changing lanes ?


Have you ever forgotten to turn it off and driven a while with it blinking ?
Not really, it makes an annoying clicking sound until I turn it off.

Bonus Question:

LOL I would eat "rice & beans" for a week just so I can treat myself to a bigger meal next week.?

(I actually used this phrase with a friend yesterday and she though it was so funny I thought "what funny answers would my QOTD family come up with)


Extra Credit Question:

lol when was the last time you were "annoying" on purpose ?
I don't remember, although I'm sure other people could tell you otherwise.

Inquiring Minds Question

Last time you saw a "speed trap" in your area ?
Every time I go past the local college

Was there a sudden "sea of red taillights" in front of you ?
Not really, I think everyone is used to it.

lol was yours one of them ?
I was expecting it.

Just for Fun:

I would only last a day or 2 if I worked at
1. A pizza shop
2.
3.

lol Not because you couldn't do the work but because you enjoyed being there so much no work got done

I'll be offline this weekend visiting family in Maryland, enjoy your weekend.

Do you regularly use your Blinkers (turn signals) when making turns ?
Sure do.

How about when changing lanes ?
I do.

Have you ever forgotten to turn it off and driven a while with it blinking ?
I have done this especially when turning down my street because the turn is less than 45 degrees and it doesn't engage the blinker arm.

Bonus Question:

LOL I would eat "rice & beans" for a week just so I can drive the Super Chief nuts.

(I actually used this phrase with a friend yesterday and she though it was so funny I thought "what funny answers would my QOTD family come up with)


Extra Credit Question:

lol when was the last time you were "annoying" on purpose ?
I try not to do it on purpose, but my hearing loss can be annoying to the Super Chief when I say what or huh. I really need to get the hearing aid fixed or get a new one.

Inquiring Minds Question

Last time you saw a "speed trap" in your area ?
Ah, just yesterday morning during rush hour.

Was there a sudden "sea of red taillights" in front of you ?
No one was in front of me, I was the leader of the pack.

Just for Fun:

I would only last a day or 2 if I worked at
1. A navel ship yard.
2. A aircraft factory.
3. A museum.

Today's Question(s):
inspired by Stripes17 answer and M Mikes answer to Stripes answer on yesterdays QOTD

Do you regularly use your Blinkers (turn signals) when making turns ?

It depends on whether or not there are other cars around. If I look in my mirrors and in all directions and there isn't another car in sight? No. Why you ask? Because the clicking sound is so extremely annoying to my ears.

How about when changing lanes ? Same answer.

Have you ever forgotten to turn it off and driven a while with it blinking ?

No. The noise is so obnoxious that if it doesn't flip off on it's own I will do it immediately.


Bonus Question:

LOL I would eat "rice & beans" for a week just so I can Gross out the neighbors or perhaps, clean out my system.

(I actually used this phrase with a friend yesterday and she though it was so funny I thought "what funny answers would my QOTD family come up with)


Extra Credit Question:

lol when was the last time you were "annoying" on purpose ?

It had to be within the last week or so on City Data. Probably when someone was whining...



Inquiring Minds Question

Last time you saw a "speed trap" in your area ?

Long, long time. The closest one was about 4 miles away and I haven't seen one there since. Some suburbs (and the "big city" next door) have put in cameras, but when I find out where they are I stop driving in that area. Sorry business owners you just lost mine. Same with bike lanes on busy streets. I don't drive on them.

Was there a sudden "sea of red taillights" in front of you ?

lol was yours one of them ?


Just for Fun:

I would only last a day or 2 if I worked at
1. Coal mining
2. Short order cook
3. Customer complaint desk. I've seen some of the crap people pull at those counters. If I was working there it would be, "Bite me!"

lol Not because you couldn't do the work but because you enjoyed being there so much no work got done

Oh, I see, bait and switch!
