OK, so the Bride looked at me the other day like I had two heads (nothing unusual here, this is a normal occurrence). We were in the car, she was driving. She needed to change lanes and hit the indicator. At this point I looked back, checked the lane and then loudly called "OVER". A few minutes later we approached a set of lights and as the lights changed to amber I called, again loudly "ROLLING". It was at that point I received the "two headed look".
Naturally, I said "wot". The Bride says "you really don't know, do you?"
Hence the post. Has anyone else been caught using inappropriate "cyclisms"?

I've tried to change gear in the car by shifting a lever...
Even more strange is that I drive an automatic.

When walking I tend to use hand signs to indicate when turning or changing my line.
When driving and I spot a pothole, I have muttered "hole" a few times.

I lean into corners way more than I need to when running and any time I'm walking and I want to move out to the right I always do a head-check to make sure nothing is coming up behind me.
I draft people when I'm walking on the footpath. Similar to this.

It really puts them off.

yep, done the call when I'm in a car. I was driving and talking to the passenger, when (I can't remember which way it was) the lights changed and I called either rolling or stopping.
At least the passenger was a cyclist too, so they did (partly) understand.
