You're assuming people are smart. As a species, we generally are not. Far too many people only think of and for themselves and simply either do not care about anyone else or have concern/awareness that their actions affect those around them. But that doesn't mean it doesn't p!ss off the rest of us!
ha ha... it is common sense and I am amazed the danger some dumbas#es put us in. I thought I was overreacting until I saw a segment from Diane Sawyer on ABC regarding the fatalities caused by dumba#ses who won't signal....the stats were astounding

I do not do open water that I can't stand up in. Water has always made me incredibly tense (not counting showers, doing laundry, or rain, etc.), and I can't even float - I just sink like a rock. I had a near-drowning incident when I was 12 and I just cannot deal with going out on a boat in deep water. No cruise ships for me!! Oddly, bridges over water are fine. I have walked the Golden Gate Bridge many times and love it, but I also understand why some people would never want to do it.

When I was six years old or so, I saw an episode of Space:1999 called "Dragon's Domain" that scared the ever-lovin' snot out of me. Obviously my dad didn't know what this ep had in it at the time or he probably wouldn't have let me see it (at least I would hope not). It gave me nightmares forever after watching it. I know of several people my age who were freaked out by it as small children as well. The visual made enough of an impression, but it was the sound of the creature that really stuck in my head. Definitely NOT the type of thing a little kid should watch when they're still trying to figure out that what isn't real can't actually hurt you. This is just a short idea from youtube of what it was:

Was reminded of this hate just yesterday when it happened.

If you're turning left at an intersection with a light, and it's a green yield, have some intestinal fortitude and get your butt safely in the middle of the intersection to prepare to turn left. Your pansiness only allows you to get through and no one else. Heck, I've sat through a whole light cycle with no one getting through because you didn't get out into the intersection.

I have yelled assume the intersection many times at cars doing this. Then I was talking to people in iowa and they have no idea what this is.
