I know 'what lane' I'm supposed to be in...

[Jace]

Do you?

and

Is it ok with you?

or

Are you trying to change?.

 

[Aunt Bea]

I don’t know what lane I’m supposed to be in but I know what lane I want to be in.

It’s difficult and boring for me to mind my own business and not care about other people’s views but I’m working on it.

 

[Paco Dennis]

Yes, I change lanes when it is safe, and it won't bother other "drivers"...too much.

I think it's good that you care, AB.

I've been told my entire life what lane I'm supposed to be in but my attempts to change lanes was always unsuccessful, so I've given up.

 

[Knight]

I don't know. Maybe if given choices I'd have a clue as to what lanes are available to be in.

I'm in the lane I'm in. I'm not bothering anybody, but I damn sure am looking at those around me. If you start meandering or start wandering into MY lane, that's when my hackles rise. Alternatively, if you start crawling up my butt because you're in a hurry to go somewhere (usually nowhere), my hackles tend to rise with that as well.

The upshot is -- don't start no s#$t and there won't be no s#$t.

I've been driving on the shoulder with one flat tire and about to run out of gas my entire life.

Sometimes it's more fun to be in someone else's lane.

This is my path.

A Path With A Heart <-- Carlos Castaneda

Does this path have a heart?
If it does, the path is good; if it doesn't, it is of no use.
Both paths lead nowhere; but one has a heart; the other doesn't.
One makes for a joyful journey; as long as you follow it, you are one with it.
The other will make you curse your life. One makes you strong, the other weakens you."

 

[gruntlabor]

I'm in the right lane.

Too vague. I don't know if I'm in a lane. I think not.

Thanks for your fun and interesting thread topics, @Jace

In the Canadian Forces, somebody who starts making dumb off the cuff suggestions that are not related to the matter at hand...Gets told to "Stay in your own lane ". Meaning tend to your knitting, and muckle down on the job to be done.

A second way that phrase can be used is in oval track stock car racing, where a slow runner who is blocking the faster cars, will get the "passing flag " waved at them by the starter, to move over "And stay in your lane " until the fast cars have passed him. A final use of the expression is in the winter, when snow machines are out on the trails going through the bush. Trails are two way paths but in some places the trail is very narrow, so "staying in your own lane " is very important, to avoid head on collisions.

For those Americans who live in the deep south and never see snow, I will mention that here in Canada there are thousands of miles of snow machine trails that criss cross the forests. In northern Ontario, it is possible to travel hundreds of miles on the trails between towns. Group travel on snow machines is a very popular winter time activity in Canada. JIM.

I definitely know what lane I'm supposed to be in.

You're in the lane of the living, kiddo.

Depends on the traffic.
