Can you ever remember the meaning of those crazy arm signals cyclists use when they turn? Especially when you're driving, texting, drinking a hot coffee, and trying NOT to make the cyclist a hood ornament.
What's with the bent arm shit? "His right arm is bent. What the fuck does that mean again? Is he waving at someone? His shoulder is sore? Maybe he's a synchronized swimmer. Damn coffee's too hot. I better…screech…splat."
Just give me the goddamn direction you're going by POINTING. "See my right arm? It's pointing to the right. The rest of me is going that way too."
That's what I do when I give people directions. I point in the direction they want. I don't play robot man with my arms bent 90 degrees.
Must have been some dumbass cyclist all "roided-up" who developed this nonsense. "Ya, ahhhh, I saw these cool signals used at Stonehenge 10,000 years ago. That'd be so cool to use."
