I feel like I'm taking up a battle about something I hardly ever do, but..

if you do that, you're not a fine driver. eventually you'll hit someone in your blind spot. you're not pulling a trailer. you don't need to swing out into another lane to make a turn.

I think you missed or ignored the post where I said I only do it if I'm sure no one is even close to me-which means I do very infrequently. I also think you're in no position to make generalizations on the skill of my driving.

You're in an SUV with power steering. Would you say that it's easier to turn a wheel slightly to the left, or turn it slightly to the right and then slightly to the left?

Now it depends on what type of turn we're talking about. If it's a slight curve in the road, and I only turn my wheel slightly, then I would never swing a couple of inches into the other lane. If it's a sharper turn I might make a wider turn if I know no one is near me.

But why do something that is completely unnecessary and gives you no benefit whatsoever?

sure I am.

Ok buddy. You win. My actual driving record is not nearly as important as your opinion on something I do maybe twice a month.

you're only a crappy driver twice a month. here's a cookie.

Okay, is it easier to turn a wheel fully to the left, or slightly to the right and then fully to the left?

I do this. I even touch every one to make sure it isn't broken underneath and stuck to the carton. I know people might hate it but, sorry, been burned by broken eggs too many times.

Not every egg in the carton. That makes sense. No reason to pay for a dozen and only get 11. He's talking about the doosh who finds an uncracked dozen but still keeps looking.

But this carton might have nicer looking eggs!

Not really a trend, but a thought.What if all of the new media decided to exclude party affiliation mention or subtitle from any individual unless it was specifically relevant (i.e. election night)so intead of seeing Carl Levin D-MI or John McCain R-Az you just seeCarl Leven Sen-MI and John McCain Sen-Az.Maybe more people would listen to them instead of making up their minds before thyaey have listened to them

But how will people know if they should be outrageously angry or zionistically happy during it?

Take this but also apply it to a southern accent or new england accent. My sister moved from suburban Philly, where she lived for the first 20 years of her life, to North Carolina. She has a nice, thick hick accent now.

I can see it happening after years and years (10? 20? years) of being there. under a year and you should be smacked in the face with a semi-thawed chicken breast

I can understand picking up an accent. It's changing the language and using UK spellings that really gets me. Some of them insert it in almost every FB post like it's a requirement. I know of one who writes daily poetry in a wordpress blog about her english life. i swear to ####### god...

Letting off of the gas and coasting to slow down before a turn also saves gas. And doesn't cause accidents.

I saved a bunch of gas this morning. Think I caused a busload of kids to flip over, but that half cent I saved probably makes up for it.

yepusually you need a certain number for a recipe and if some are broken it ####s you all up.

I line up 3 or 4 cartons and switch out until I've created "the perfect dozen". Then I leave the rejects for the fools who just grab without checking.

$5.00 per week to not have to hear the wife talk about poor, caged, miserable chickens every time I crack an egg. Wouldn't you pay $5 to never have to see those Sally Struthers commercials again?

I like this. They would be judged on their actions/lack of actions on a neutral playing field vs. a knee-jerk reaction.

Great idea, FlapJacks.
