However as I mentioned in the previous post, there appears to be no obligation to signal when entering a single lane circle unless taking the first right.

Can you point out where because I'm completely missing it?

At the risk of having a bunch of people whine about how ol' "timun is such a condescending ###hole, we should vote him off the island": you are misunderstanding.

The quotes from the guide you selected are about signaling when approaching the exit of the roundabout.

No, no they're not. They're about entering the roundabout. Go re-read.

For 2 lane traffic circles:

When you intend to leave at any other exit:
• Approach the circle using the left lane.
• Activate your left signal to communicate that you do not plan to use the first exit.

So I was not going crazy haha, I drove by yesterday and the sign was definitely there and even more confusing than the one there in that image.

This must be why it seems most people just turn off the left signal when they want to exit, instead of properly signaling right.

Just seems odd to me. Since you are expected to signal right when wanting to leave, what's the purpose of keeping the left signal on in the circle?

There should be 2 signal defaults. None when wanting to stay in circle, right signal when exiting. Now I see more left signals than I do right signals, and that really pisses people off when wanting to enter.

Fight back. Put the hazards on every time you approach one. The circle will be yours.

Actually, saw someone do just that with hazards on yesterday. No idea why, driving normally.

Parents: pay for your own kids' stupid-ass activities. Or sell me something...50/50 tickets, popcorn, whatever. Just don't come bothering me with your hand out for your priveleged activity on a weekend. Such a piss off.

I love bottle drives. Clears out the garage with no work in my end. Seriously, how much of a hassle is it to open your garage door for 2 minutes.

Just had some couches delivered and opted for delivery and setup.

Guy just came and said "I'll help you bring them down"......had to politely tell him sorry I can't carry anything heavy as I have a bad back. My back isnt bad but ill never carry couches thats literally your job. Who shows up for delivery with one person? What a weird interaction.

That paragraph you quoted is beneath the heading Exiting circular intersections: and not the paragraph above it called Entering circular intersections: meaning the "approach" refers to approaching the Exit.

Edited: Okay, I'm seeing it now.

I got moved to start a job when I was young and didn’t have much stuff. I was at my new place in a new town and the guy shows up by himself and no helper. Asks me if I wanted to help and says when it’s small like this and between 2 towns they send him by himself, give him cash and tell him to go to a gas station and find someone who wants to earn some bucks. I ended up doing it, I’m sure he pocketed some of the cash too.

I don't hoard garbage so I don't have a garage full of trash for them to take. It goes in the blue bin weekly.

The larger gear grinder is having them annoyingly come around begging two weeks in a row. If I was a hoarder, the first group would have already grabbed the bottles, which makes the second crowd an absolute annoyance.

Maybe if you drank more, there’d be bottles for everybody.

That’s dumb for a setup service. What if you were a 90 year old person with a walker.

I once had Lowe’s try and deliver a fridge to the sidewalk. I was like uh, what are you thinking here. Just dropping a $2500 fridge on the sidewalk and taking off. F no. Dude, you have a dolly and it’s another 15 feet plus four steps up to a porch. You’re taking this thing inside. “I’m not hired to take it inside, I’m only allowed to bring it to the curb.”

Then I explained to him about a little thing called property lines and that if he thinks he can deliver my fridge to city property and not my residence then there’d be some hell coming.

Bottle drives don’t bother me

I take the time to chat with the young athletes about their sport before giving them bottles if we have some.

In fact if the athlete is really engaging and I don’t have bottles I’ve actually given them cash before.

Expect soccer, #### that #### sport and those that play it

He did bring them himself so I think hes used to it but probably thought he could get me to help him out. These are the type of couches that come in boxes and need to be set up not the bigger bulky ones. Theyre still heavy but that's not my problem when you advertise delivery and setup included. They even offer taking old sofas as well in same free service. I had already got rid of mine but what if I didn't? There was no way he could take them out himself.
