Always Signal Your Intentions
FOUND by Sheri Rice in California
I found this on the ground in Marin County. Someone obviously unhappy with the way someone else had made a right or left turn. Or was it something else?
Cherry OPepsi
yeah, I got your signal right here...!

I wonder, did the author of the note write it, crumple it up, then speed up so they could toss it through the non signal-using bitch's open driver side window? Did they stalk her (him? yes, I know it could be a him) to their destination, so they could leave the note on their windshield?

Was it perhaps a Note to Self?

Reminds me of the Roald Dahl short story My Lady Love, My Dove. All about cheating at bridge, but not winning. "Use your signal bitch"

A "signal bitch" is a kind of watchdog, so the writer was helpfully suggesting that someone be wary of prowlers. Clearly.

No, a "signal bitch" is one of those little dogs that you put in the car window, with the head going up and down...some are attack trained to bite the hell out of a non-signalling driver's back tire...or indeed, to leap in the open side window and bite said driver! "GRRRRRUFF! Signal, bitch!" nom-nom

I would have, except my signal bitch was getting her hair done. Sorry.

Using my Tiny Eyes© setting to read the printing at the bottom of the sheet of paper, the note pad came from Selco.org, a credit union in west central Oregon.

Perhaps the top portion was being saved for a stick-up note? (At least that's more interesting than road rager stalking someone was momentarily inconvenienced by an inconsiderate driver.)

I'm with Cherry on this one.
The logistics of making this note viable are too complicated.

Maybe a quick call to the toll free number in the lower right would clear things up.

I would so love to have one of these laminated that I could hold up at people who don't signal! Maybe what the previous found entry had intended to do with a speaker. Hmmm?

I wonder how the note got from Oregon to California...

If it's from Oregon, maybe it was a bicyclist who didn't use their hand signals and almost got hit. People expect that of you up there. Hey, that makes sense then, how the note got to California; it was a Californian visiting Oregon, who didn't know the rules of bike etiquette. That makes the logistics of getting them the note a little easier, since bicyclists move slower. Although in that case, I don't know why they wouldn't just yell the message out their window...

It looks as though this FIND was taped (due to 'old' resin on the lower, right part of note)to a window or whatever. When the 'bitch' found this FIND taped to her car, she ripped it off the window and crumpled it up and threw it away.

If it was stealthily taped to the car after the driver exited the vehicle, then the writer was definitely pissed off enough to stalk her to her destination, wait for her to get out, and put the note on the car. That's creepy.

Maybe there was a car crash, caused by note writer following too closely + bitch not signaling her intentions (what are your intentions with my daughter? give me a signal.), and the note writer is a mute, and therefore had to write notes to communicate. While they traded their insurance info and waited for a cop to arrive, the angry, mute rear-ender penned this note.

Did you find this near a BMW, Mercedes, Lexus or Hummer? I often wonder if those cars don't come with signal levers because they're rarely used.

I agree wholeheartedly with this note.

How many times have I yelled this in my car, only to have it fall on deaf ears? It's usually some idiot who has just pulled out in front of me, causing me to slam on my brakes, then they decide to make an immediate left turn. And looking in my rearview, I see there are no cars behind me for miles. HONNNNKKKKK!

HAHAHAHAHA! I love it! "Use your signal Bitch!"
"Stay on your side of the road, asshole!" "Stop signs are for stopping, IDIOT"

I could make a bunch of these on huge cue cards, especially for those (are there are MANY) who cross the middle yellow line coming the opposite direction, onto my side, coming toward me. Nice. My life flashes before my eyes way too many times in one day.

Getting mad at other drivers generally accomplishes little more than raising one's own blood pressure.

Perhaps this note writer would have been better served by getting a soothing aspartame rubdown.

I recently left a note on a big-ass truck who took up two parking spots.

Maybe we should get out our pest products for these occasions

And often, Fooch, the bigger the truck, the bigger the ass. Or at least the asswhole.

I have a little ditty I sing when I see one a those giant trucks.. "GREAT BIG TRUCK! ... little tiny pee pee.." (kind of sung to the tune of that old song, "daddy sang bass, mama sang tenor.." remember that song?)

My kid thinks it's "little tiny puppy" because she once saw a good ole boy in his big ole truck with a tiny pomeranian on his lap...

I left a note on a door handle at Borders for some big ego in a little car who deliberately parked on the line taking two spaces. NICE PARK JOB ASSHOLE!! I would not however stalk anyone, I would take a deep breath and assume they were lost or maybe the signal was actually broken or maybe their boyfriend/girlfriend just dumped them or... whatever.
