“Blue Collar” comedian Jeff Foxworthy made his name with the schtick , “You know you’re a redneck…” Carrying on in the same theme, we present… You know you’re in America if…:
- Two cars get into an accident and the drivers leave their cars exactly where the crash occurred. They then step out to discuss the accident, creating a traffic nightmare while they discuss the merits of their driving skills and how they didn’t cause the accident
- Driving on the left and passing on the right is the norm – we’ve pointed out this painful and excruciating phenomenon in past posts
- Everyone slows down for warning lights, even when such action is not warranted
- Using your turn signal is completely optional
- The car behind you has his highbeams on for no reason
- The car in front signals left, yet turns right – or vice versa as the case may be
- You see that car by the side of the road, getting a tank of gas from a tow truck – yes, when the fuel gauge lights up it is a wise idea to find a gas station and fill up
- You see that jackass driving in darkness without turning on any of his lights
- You see a “baby on board” placard in the rear window – what this is supposed to accomplish is anybody’s guess
- The biggest heap of junk is being driven as if it’s a Ferrari FXX
Fortunately, the rest of the world isn’t as stupid, oblivious or clueless as we are.
