    I'm the only one in my house that knows how to change the toilet paper roll. It's VERY hard. My hubby is 41 - I think I'll teach him in a couple of years :explode:

    that you're supposed to merge onto a highway matching the speed of traffic.

    Everyone else in Colorado believes you're supposed to go 10-20 mph slower. :explode:

    What's your secret knowledge??? :smokin:
    people in Minnesota have no concept of what merge and yield mean. I am an asian driver and even I know better.

    That you are suppose to pull over and let emergency vehicles pass even if you are going the opposite direction! A friend of mine was driving eastbound on a street when a fire truck pulled out a ways ahead heading west and I told her to pull over and she asked why just as the truck turned in front of us. Then I said...that's why! I've actually had people honk their horn at me because I've pulled over (I always use my turn signal).

    That when you say you will be somewhere at a certain time, you should actually be there!!!!! And that if you are supposed to be there at 9:00, 9:30 or 10:00 really isn't on time!

    Sometimes i think i'm the only person that know you are supposed to park your cars in your driveway not on the side of the road blocking one lane so traffick has to take turns driving in the one lane left

    In South Florida, apperently the correct way to merge onto I-95 is to close your eyes, jerk the wheel to the left, and hope for the best.

    That it's NOT ok to sit at a green light and text until someone honks the horn! The new norm in my town!

    cheap aerosol (spelling?) hair spray gets ANYTHING out of clothes... including permanent marker.

    Thanks for that! I'll have to try it!

    - that "being scared" of roundabouts is not a good enough reason to drive all the way round in the outside lane in your husband's fancy car

    - that fog lights should only be used IN FOG!

    - that full beam headlights should be dipped when you see another driver

    That a turning lane is meant for making left hand turns. You are allowed to use it rather than stopping up traffic for miles back!!

    The parking/breakdown lane is not an expressway to the next exit...

    That taking responsibility for your actions and for things that don't go well will help you grow and improve. When we are always finding ways to blame others for what goes wrong we stagnate! This is the down-fall of our society. Everything is always someone else's fault. (NOT!)

    That having your daytime running lights on when you're driving at night does not necessarily mean your tail lights are on... turn your headlights on people!! Lol!

    That when we are all in the left turning lane, that we can all follow each other when the left arrow turns green, you do not have to wait for the car ahead of you to go through the intersection then turn....we can all drive through in a straight line.

    ....that when I visit another country, I am a guest and should adapt and be flexible, not demand everything should be like home.

    The ability to properly manipulate that little stick on the steering column that makes the lights on the left side or right side of my car flash to indicate I plan on moving that direction!

    JM

    However, using that little stick does not mean that it is legal to cut across two lanes of traffic when the light turns green to make the turn that you forgot about.

    Inching forward during a red light doesn't make the light change to green any faster.

    That it won't kill you to have some MANNERS. Seriously, saying "please," "thank you," and "excuse me" will not cause spontaneous human combustion.

    i actually got a verbal warning at work for using my manners (shop assistant) apparently saying please and thank you was taking up valuable time that should have been used on serving other customers and despite that my boss called me out infront of a huge crowd of customers who all stuck up for me saying it made a pleasant change for somebody to be friendly and use manners i still got the warning

    im the only person in the universe to no the secret ingredient i put in my devils food cake that makes it taste so good

    Yelling "he doesn't bite" does not make the jogger being chased by your unleashed dog feel any better about the situation.

    ...that you don't STOP at the merge point of a roundabout. Particularly if there's not a car in sight.

    ...that honking the split second the light turns green makes me want to go postal on your a**. Learn to relax for God's sake. :mad:

    To further confuse the mental midgets which live in my general vicinity, there are quite often two signs at intersections which read "No Turn on Red" with a sign underneath which says "When Pedestrians Present."

    I'm apparently the only one who knows how to read past the first sign.
