    In Detroit, turn signal means “Fellow travellers, I have noticed a sizeable gap in the adjacent lane. If you would be so kind, please speed up so as to close the gap and deny entrance to any vehicle that may consider it.”

    As a full-time pedestrian I cannot even begin to count the amount of times I’ve almost been run over by some idiot not using their turn signal.

    Lies. These people just don’t know how Massachusetts works.

    • Put on your turn signal and wait? You’re weak, I’m gonna close up the gap.
    • Just start nosing over? Eh, he’s got gumption, I’ll let him in.

    • Wait to cross at the crosswalk? What a maroon. No sympathy.
    • Charge blindly into the crosswalk? Carry on sir, I’ll come to a stop for you, and we will exchange an understated wave. (1% chance I will flip you off and get mad for no discernable reason though)

    If you’re not from here, it seems like everyone’s being a dick all the time, but in their mind, you’re just not communicating that you actually need them to get out of the way or whatever.
