True story, brought up by the “young woman stalled” joke. Some decades ago, my mom (head nurse at a rest home and probably around 50 years old) was driving to work early one morning (we lived in a slightly rural suburban area). She stopped at a stop sign, signaled a left turn, but waited because a car was coming in the opposite direction (there was no corresponding stop sign for traffic coming in that direction). A driver who had pulled up behind her obviously felt that she had time to make the left turn, because he honked his horn.

My mom turned her car off, got out, walked back, and knocked on his window. When the startled man rolled down his window, my mom leaned over and asked, “Was there something you wanted?” The man sputtered a few words of apology; my mom walked back to her car, got in, started it, turned left, and drove on to work. ..bruce..

Sigh.
