I know what the meme is supposed to represent, but the Tolkien nerd in me feels the need to correct the universal misunderstanding of the picture used.
Frodo isn’t saying he can’t read the inscription on the One Ring because it’s in Elvish. He actually is pretty fluent in Elvish in the novel, but the inscription on the Ring was in the Black Speech, which he couldn’t recognise.

I feel that. I’ve seen that with Trek memes.
I know it’s a meme to knock on BMW drivers for this, but this just seems like your average driver of any car anymore.
All right, rant over.
That was a short rant
As someone who drives a BMW sedan the people I see most neglecting to use indicators are pickup trucks and SUVs lol
All the BMW memes now apply to Tesla drivers near me. They are the fucking worst. Those still in BMW’s are far better drivers.
Teslas have bad indicators. On older cars it’s a two stage stalk
- First stage: does nothing, or indicates once, or three times, or until a turn is completed or a lane changed as the car prefers
- Second stage: indicates until turn completed or indication cancelled
Later cars have buttons, so presumably just the first stage
BMWs at least have regular blinkers
We have a saying in my country that roughly translates to this: “Where are all the BMW drivers after the first snow? Check the ditch.”
That’s why my BMW had such strong blinkers. It got all the unused blinker fluid. The whole neighborhood turns alternatively yellow and dark. Those things are bright!
As BMW driver it amuses me that I use my signals more than most of the drivers around me, but then again I got it from insurance auction, so probably not your typical BMW owner.
People often queue behind me at the traffic lights thinking im going to be faster than the car in the other lane then get annoyed when I’m not faster because im avoiding engaging the petrol engine as it’s a plug in hybrid 😂 (I mainly bought it for the better ride quality as opposed to the performance or fancy badge)
