Well, really I think I have "discovered" the reason for your left drift tell. You are clearly "right legged" meaning that when you get tired, you pedal harder with your right leg than with the left making you veer to the left with every cadence. Then again, I could have been loopy with fatigue which is my tell... unintelligible statements Fatty,

With the AC on and a big sandwich in your hand.

GO AWAY. Seriously. That's annoying. Oh, and if there's no one around-- I make weird faces. Furrowed brow, mouth open, squinty eyes, shoulders hunched. Not on purpose, it just seems to happen. Then I catch myself at it and stop myself until I forget to stop myself. My Tell: silence, gasping, head down, and mean thoughts sent out to whoever is pacing me chatting away and asking questions.

GO AWAY. Seriously. That’s annoying.

Oh, and if there’s no one around– I make weird faces. Furrowed brow, mouth open, squinty eyes, shoulders hunched. Not on purpose, it just seems to happen. Then I catch myself at it and stop myself until I forget to stop myself.

Mad Max style. Not a poker tell. Yes I watch too many movies. Your Tell is a natural reaction... you're trying to put yourself out of your misery. The wrong side of the road is the perfect place for this. When I saw the title and then the first paragraph I was immediately thinking you go stuck listening to family stories… tellin’ the tell.
