Turn signals
For you that grew up in northern Indiana, you can probably relate with this story. For you that didn't grow up with perpendicular country roads, I'll probably reinforce your thought that I am a complete goober! I spent my early years in northwest Indiana where there is a county road every 1/2 mile. All of the roads intersect nicely. If you make a 90 degree turn, you are going to turn on to a different road, thus necessitating your turn signal. Not the case in southern Indiana. You commonly make 90 degree turns and stay on the same road. It never fails, at least once a week, I use my turn signal when going around one of those 90 degree turns. The only problem is that I am still on the same road! I feel so silly! People behind me have to think I am completely nuts! (I don't feel bad all of the time, because my husband does it too; then again, he grew up in northwest Indiana also.)

On behalf of all other proper signalers like me, I'd like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for actually using your turn signal at all. It is evidently optional in the South. Optional or just used improperly, such as to signal what the driver in FRONT of you is doing. I get a wee bit crazy.
