Why Do The Contruction Site Sign Holders Keep Waving You Through the Site As You Drive By?

October 3rd, 2006 by Mike


I’m going through the little construction site near my work and like always there was the guy standing there with the sign that has “Slow” on one side and “Stop” on the other. The thing I always thought was weird was that when its your turn to go “Slow” the guy keeps arm-waving you through constantly, even if its just you and there are no cars behind you. Isn’t that weird? I know its my time to go based on your fancy double-sided sign. Its not like you have to coax me all the way through the site. I want to go through on my own accord, I need to encouragement. Also, what does he think is going to happen if he doesn’t wave me all the way through the construction? If he stops waving half way, do some people come to a screeching halt? I doubt it.

Seriously, this morning the guy was arm-waving me through like he wanted me to go home on a double to the gap and I can’t think of one single reason why they all do this. Anyone?

    I had to edit your comment ever so slightly Ben. Your fully grammatically correct spelling of Fuhrer was causing havoc on lots of RSS readers. It even caused the comment feed to fail validation .

    Not even death can keep Hitler from causing pain and anguish, even on a slightly smaller scale.

    Those guys have to stand there for a long time. They wave their arms to keep their blood flowing so they don't collaps in front of a passing car.
