Make this illegal
« on: May 21, 2017, 07:50:19 AM »
This thread is for anything anyone wants to ban or make illegal:

I'll start: Round tablets and generally big tablets that are impossible to swallow, even if they are chopped in half:

People who don't use their turning signals! Drives me bonkers. Use your blinker thingy so I know that you're turning!!! So it should be illegal NOT to use them.

I'd have the filth made responsible when they fuck up. Like try to burn somebody's house down for example. Or coerce false confessions out of people by denying them essential medication unless they give a statement. (I did give one, it just didn't contain anything other than 'no comment' 'sorry no idea' and 'get fucked':P)

I thought that is illegal.  :orly: Most people don't use their turn signals here. I think it's because a lot of the roads are huge with turning lanes, so people get out of the habit of using them.  :dunno:

It's not strongly enforced in Canada. You could get a minor ticket if they decided to charge you but it's rare.

I'm not sure about the rest of the US, but obviously no one cares here either.  :lol1:

We have a small town nearby that has warned the entire state that the local turn signal usage ordinance will be enforced with vigor.

I always use my signals. I hate when people do shit in front of me that was not predicted or forewarned. It is a habit now. I even use my signals when I am the only car at a four-way stop sign.

Many people seem to drive as if using a turn signal is the same as giving away classified information to the enemy.

Telemarketers

In Indiana, we have a  "No Call"  law where telemarketers are prosecuted and or restricted from doing business in the state for calling us at home with spam shit.

Only problem is that if you have already done business with the company, they have a sort of exemption and can call us.
However, if you are on the No Call list and want to help, the State's Attorney General has a website where you can enter all the non-welcome callers numbers you have received and from what I have seen they shut them down.

Biggest problem I have is that I use AT&T  and every single day they text me with crap and sometimes call to inform me of upgrade possibilities. I can not get that shut down. I have even added the numbers they call to my "contact" info so that I can block them, but they just keep using different numbers.

I'm on the list here but still get tons of calls from people I never had any dealings with.  The new twist on it is they are spoofing caller id with local numbers to get you to pick up

They do that here too. I unplugged my answering machine because people that know me will call my cell.

I now get aggressive telemarketers from outside the Netherlands. For the rest the do not call list works just fine.
Most aggressive call I've had past years came from Italy. Wow, she was brutal.
