Rash of Broken Turnsignals in D.C. Area

Here it comes. The occasional rant. I am driving to work this moring watching this booger-picking Asian dude in a really classy Oldsmobile Alero recklessly changing lanes probably a total of ten times. I say booger-picking Asian not as a racial attack. Simply put, the man was Asian and picking his nose. I mean really digging for gold. Maybe this was the reason that he did not once use his signal to indicate a lane change.

For the love of all things holy - where do you people take your driving classes/exams? Is there an alternate test that I am not aware of? The one I took years ago was very explicit on signal usage. Maybe it is that all of you assclowns just don't care. I don't know what is worse either - the self-important d-bag who is too busy on his phone to take part in the activity of driving or the guy or gal that just simply stares straight ahead, seemingly unaware of the dangerous faux pas. Either way, when you try to change lanes into the same lane that I am moving into, but without your blinker ... well, your move doesn't count in my book. Fortunately I tend to remain alert when I drive and put my lipstick on before the car starts moving, so I usually see the specimen furtively drifting across lanes. This illustrates the danger though; what if I weren't paying attention? Well...we would crash.

I tried to indicate the booger-picker that he should use his signals when he changed lanes, but unfortunately I think I just looked like a silverback gorilla from the zoo doing some type of mating/alpha-male display. Where are my LED spinners when I need them!
