You Just Might Be A Roadgeek.

Inspired by this in another thread...

Not to be confused with this thread.

I usually study paper maps when I don't have an exact need to go anywhere, in much the same way that someone would read a novel or something.

If you have an atlas in your bathroom for reading material, you might be a roadgeek.

If you practice making FHWA letter and numbers, you just might be a roadgeek.

Make yer own here, in the Jeff Foxworthy style.

If you find yourself feeling like an expert discussing the MUTCD and explaining how mileage based exits work to laypeople in a local Facebook discussion group, you might be a roadgeek.  (True story)

When I was about 6 years old I decided I wanted to handwrite my numbers in FHWA to make it look more authentic drawing signs. 21 years later (and despite at least one attempt at correction by my parents, which failed) and I'm still doing it for everyday purposes.

If you drive around just to take pictures of some off-beat minor road only to turn around to write some giant historical road blog on the history of it.

That's called being a viatologist.

That was Carl Rogers (and he was way before my time, too. I've just seen lots of references to him across this forum.)

So essentially that whole saying really became a thing because said individual was so infamous on MTR?
