was just going to post this. had to go and get my flu jab first thing and the doctors is next door to a school. Absolute chaos. Its like the rules of the road don't apply. People randomly stopping, doing three point turns, all sorts of shit going on. Its a miracle there's not more accidents, especially the speed parents drive up the approaching roads.

Becoming more and more convinced 20mph should be the default in residential areas.

I's not even speed a lot of the time, it's just the sheer stupidity of people. Thick as pig shit.

Uber drivers as well who clearly don't know the area.

Stupidity less dangerous at low speed of course. But yeah some of the shot I see on the school run…

Having to pay at all is a joke. Not really got an alternative of just having a dump in the street, after all.

Taxi drivers be they uber, black cab or private hire are collectively by far the worst and most inconsiderate drivers on the road.

If only, everywhere charges including pubs and restaurants unless you're a paying guess. Just glad I was passing through and only spent the day there.

I honestly cannot wait for self driven cars. I thought I’d seen the worst drivers on the world when I was living in LA - it’s like Mario kart.

But fucking Melbourne has me tearing my hair out I honestly have the worst road rage. Oh, green light? Right…let me just finish sending this text…then just…put car into gear…check around…slowly does it…off we go. Light goes red. Honestly could scream.

People are just thick as fucking shit no matter where you go in the world and I just can’t fathom it. Like genuinely get behind a wheel and just become brain dead

Reading this thread I have no idea how people can hack it driving everywhere every day - living in a city with good public transport (or, I dunno, the woods) has never sounded more appealing.

Funny how it’s always everyone else who’s the shit driver as well!

Ever been to India? I fancy my chances of getting round a lap of Mario Kart unscathed more than I'd fancy my chances of not crashing within 5 minutes there.

See I don’t think that’s true…I think that 80% of people on the road are probably perfectly competent drivers. But the 20% fuck it up for everyone and it’s a big enough % that you see them on every drive

The only rule appears to be 'do your best not to crash'. Motorbiking around Vietnam sounds similarly suicidal.

Signs left for over a month after roadworks had finished in Goodyears end. The number of road work signs and barriers in hedges and ditches around Bedworth are unbelievable.

Saying "to be honest" wrong. It's everywhere. Latest one after the England game was Jenas and something like "He's in poor form, but he always turns up at big tournaments for England...to be honest". If he'd said "he's in poor form but that doesn't matter because at big tournaments, he always turns up" he MIGHT have just about got away with it, but a better use would be "he's just not in good enough form, to be honest"-I could hear Shearer saying that and it working. You can't use the phrase where you're being bland and not very honest and haven't offered an opinion either way over two options. It gets tacked on to the end of every line stumbled out by ex-footballers over-promoted in the media atm and it really grinds my gears!

Also, Paul Warne of Rotherham last year (and Derby now). I've got a massive grudge going with him in Football Manger with me as Sheff Wed manager, but we're top and it's you that had two men sent off in the top of the table clash, not because of biased refs as you keep bleating, but because we play liquid football that the division can't live with and you fucked up your pre-match press conference, so suck it: to be honest, I didn't start this thing, but it's ON!
