In this thread, we give random incorrect advice.

Stop signs are more of a suggestion than an actual rule.

As are yellow lights (speed up, the light is going to change!) and red lights (don't bother looking twice!)....

Ah, you've obviously driven in Boston.

Speaking of which, some incorrect driving advice:

- Stop signs with white borders are "optional stop signs". If you don't feel like stopping, just plow on through.
- The Boston Left Turn is completely legal. (For the uninitiated, a Boston Left Turn is what you do when you are stopped at a red light and you want to turn left. When the light turns green (no left arrow, just a green ball) you punch it and make the left before the drivers stopped opposite you have a chance to realize the light is green and accelerate.)
- Stopping at the scene of an accident you caused is optional. They'll never catch you. (I once got the tag # of a bitch who rear-ended me and took off down the interstate. According to the police report, she didn't stop because she didn't think I'd stopped. At the speed she was going, she was in the next state by the time I pulled over safely. She got (as the cop put it) "a whole raft of tickets".)
- Using a hand-held cell phone while driving in crappy weather conditions is a GREAT idea.

This is EXACTLY what I was thinking.

"When driving in Boston, if there's a yellow light, it means 3 more cars can make it through. If it's a red light, 2 more."

My sister's friends took their license tests (as teenagers) and BOTH of them actually put yellow light means "speed up." OMG Did you learn ANYTHING in driver's ed???

Never tell your brand new co-worker when they've done something incorrectly. No, it's so much better to just re-do their work without telling them, then go straight to the supervisor and whine and complain about how you're stressed and overwhelmed from doing all of your work, plus their work, too. It'd be much too easy to just explain to the newbie the correct way so that they can fix it themselves--I mean, how else would you be the long-suffering perfectionist otherwise?
