My students use “YOLO” all the time. Seriously. It’s their favorite acronym. One of them tried to let me use it as one of her new vocab words.
Wash: I mean, I'm the one she swore to love, honor and obey. Mal: Listen... She swore to obey? Wash: Well, no, not...

getting ready to go from a 4 way stop and an approaching car that looks like it might blow through? That is why I have a GD horn and I will LAY ON IT! I might all yell MY TURN MF, MY F'IN TURN! and shake my fist. Ford Focus OF DOOOM!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
at the grocery store this evening, I did a msbelle. the person blew through the stop sign at the entrance to the store. She had her windows wide open. I yelled into her truck: "you are supposed to stop!"

Earl Grey does not make good iced tea, but I kind of figured that and made it anyway. It'll do for the time being.
I love roundabouts. I think I call them traffic circles, though.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I don't understand the roundabout and I won't respond to it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Same dif!
I was walking out across the street yesterday at a place where the cars don't think they need to stop at the red light, and there happened to be a dude on my left (toward the cars), so I ended up saying to him, "THEY HAVE THE RED LIGHT." I would have just said it to the air, honestly. Because they HAVE A RED LIGHT.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I call them both, because I am confused.
There's one roundaout near Portsmouth, NH, that is enormous and frightening, and I've always driven it at night, which is extra scary. I can't see how a three or four laned traffic circle is safer than a traffic-lighted intersection. But I also live in NJ, and can't understand how a jug-handle with an unprotected left turn with the clearance of two car lengths is safer than a green left arrow.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
On campus there are so many crosswalks that have "stop for pedestrian in crosswalk" that people just blow through, and I always point at the sign and yell "I HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY!"

Because books.
I never loved traffic circles, and we had a couple in NJ, where I lived. Here we have four-way stops everywhere, and two-way in the borough where there are a lot of intersecting one-way streets. Driving through town is constant stop and start.
