I kinda like it when this happens (and I'm getting off). Reminds me that I was a pretty mean tackling defender in hockey and I still weigh north of a 100. Out of my way word removed bowling pins!!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted October 22, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted October 22, 2023 Running along the pavement, woman 10 m ahead of me crossing the road to my side, reaches there 2 m in front of me, turns to the direction I’m heading, walking in the MIDDLE OF THE PAVEMENT. What the actual **** goes through these people’s minds? Same as approaching two people heading the opposite direction and they maybe at best shuffle over 10 cm, not thinking why don’t we walk single file for 3 seconds. Arseholes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Flag football is burly American men running after other burly American men trying to touch their bums and steal a handkerchief hanging out of their pockets. Sounds like Heaven in the 80s but Olympic sport now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idea is you get kids seeing it, then buying NFL merchandise, sorry, playing the sport, then it gets worldwide popular, then rugby players have to wear armor {sp} and helmets and doing touchdowns instead of trys. THEN they buy the merchandise and lots of money drains to the US Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 People who in empty car parks with dozens upon dozens of spaces...park next to you. Now I'm reversing out the spot. I'm turning to look as I reverse fair enough that's on me , too casual, but I'm literally , when I'm in the arse end of the car park away from everyone, not expecting someone to drive into the spot right next to me. Literally 100 spaces 3 cars in the car park and you have to park next to me in the ones furthest away from the **** building? Why? Why do they do it? Always happens at the gym too at 6 am with nobody there! Why. Why. Why. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He drove to the emptiest spot furthest away from the building, got his sarnies out and within two minutes some cabbage parked right next to him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where it does make sense is parking on a grass field, for events.If people start parking well away from each other, you get inefficient use of space, and you end up with lots of not-quite-big-enough gaps, and cars at odd angles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trains - people wait on the platform, train comes in, doors open and people get off. The people wanting to get on wait diligently and allow all the incoming travellers to exit. Then they file onto the train, in good order and politely. Nice. Midland Metro - like throwing a bag of chips into a flock of seagulls. Absolute swamp rat behaviour. Doors open and its like a rugby scrum as people getting on try and charge into the people getting off. I'm scared to even try the bus. It used to be a proud boast and consolation for the British, that we might be a third-rate nation but we knew how to queue. The inability to follow queue etiquette was always assumed to be one of the many bad habits of Johnny foreigner. The nation has definitely gone to the demnition bow-wows! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 The same arse that parks next to you in an empty car park will then walk the length of the car park, along the path, through the entrance and at the narrowest point of the journey, at the pinch point in the doorway, will stop to check something. It really does need a study in to why they do it and then some 1970’s style public information film on why they are a menace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A barely audible tut is what will happen. Just enough so you are satisfied that you have tutted but not enough to cause a confrontation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
