You know you're in Connecticut when:

- From the right turn lane if you go straight you are "bearing right" and if you turn right, you turn right.
- Going "straight" on a road means at least one 90 degree turn
- To go Northwest, start by going south and follow the road around counter-clockwise.
- Reflectors are non-existent.
- Only the name of the cross street, not the street you are on, is on the road signs at minor intersections. "I haven't a @*#*@ clue where I am, but I know I've crossed Maple, Pine, Birch, Oak. I'm in the *&@* forest and I don't even know which *(@*@ way I'm going!"
- Like anywhere, someone selfish 30 years ago has doomed us all to traffic headaches. If that 2.5 mile stretch of road had gone where it belonged, we wouldn't be sitting here in this slow ass traffic.
- There is no county government. It's easy to tell how much money a town has. It's inversely proportional to the state of the roads in the town. Rich town? Crappy roads. Poor town? Nice, flat, no cracks, easy on the shocks road.
- Google Maps gives a 35 point directional instruction on how to get somewhere that has only 3 actual turns.
- It's much easier to use the phrase "Follow the center line of the road" instead of directions like "bear left" or "bear right".

Oh, I'm sure I'll think of more.
