I'm a pedestrian by choice.  I walk to the gym, to the grocery store, and sometimes to the theater.  Lately I've noticed a lot more people not using the signals on their car. Sometimes the turns they'd make were obvious, but other times, they weren't. As a pedestrian, this always makes me nervous because I can't anticipate where they're going and avoid collisions.

What's equally annoying is people trying to be helpful to me as a pedestrian, and then getting frustrated at me because I can't see them trying to wave me on through the very strong Texas sun glare on their windshield. One woman even yelled at me when I had stopped before a crosswalk to let her continue through the intersection.  If I can't make eye contact, I don't assume they can see me.

I was walking home from the gym the other day, I thought of something else; not signaling is a problem a lot of people have when it comes to their career, in good times or bad.

Are you letting people know where you're planning on going or doing? If you aren't, how can people anticipate your needs?

People are often very willing to help you, but you need to speak up.  If you can't articulate it, how can you expect to get it?
