"You can 'watch 'n' observe' as carefully as you please while driving and you will still miss your turn-off, and so no amount of continued 'Oh, I'm sure it's just around the next curve" tootling further down the road will bring you to it. But if you do actually decide to turn around and go back to see if you did inadvertently pass your desired intersection, it will of course NOT be 'back there', and you will subsequently find out that you'd been within just a few hundred yards of it at the point when you'd turned around, and so you simply wasted gas and time by backtracking; it had indeed been 'just around the next corner', and so you'd have reached it the first time if you simply hadn't been so gol-durned impatient."
I missed my turn-off during a road-trip because I was carefully watching out for traffic and thus never noticed the side-road I wanted --- classic case of Murphy's Law of Intersections!

Get the Murphy's Law of Intersectionsmug. When a 2 people are fucking in Capricorn position and the one standing Shits into the lower persons mouth.

Get the indiana intersectionmug. When a driver accelerates through a yellow light knowing full well that shit will turn red before they get in the intersection. If done properly, the driver will end up running a red light.
Often, passengers will scream "FREE BIIIIIIRD!" for the duration of the intersection.

"Dude I nearly died today, some jagoff was Free Birding an Intersection during rushour!"
"No way, was that the 3 car pileup at North and Main?"
"No, that guy was making a Pennsylvania Left."

Get the Free Birding an Intersectionmug. An intersection which, on constitutional grounds, should not exist.
The terminology implicitly invokes common street names "Church Street" and "State Street" as if they were nominally a small-town street corner, at least ostensibly. In actuality? This is a conceptual stand-in for the constitutional ideal of "the separation of Church and State" being trampled into the ground at the local grass-roots level.

Unfortunate that every two-bit agenda-pusher is trying to plop themselves down at the intersection of Church and State.
Those two roads should never cross as this is where freedom goes to die.
