Last week I was in my car waiting to turn left out of a Gas station. An older gentleman's car enters from the street and stops beside me. The driver rolls down his window and then berates me for exiting through the entrance way.
I calmly point out to him that the Station's sole other entrance has a big sign stating "NO LEFT TURNS", and that this entrance is in fact, a two-way.
So he then goes off about how he's lived here for 35 years and he damn well knows his entrances and exits and there's no sign that he's ever seen etc...
Duly Aggravated, I repeat myself about the sign and pull away.
I pass by that station every day to and from work, and every day there are cars going both in and out of that entrance and the big "No left turn" sign at the other one gleams quietly in the sunlight.
