You're an attractive lady now?! :p
(And it wasn't an attractive lady either)
There's a big 5-exit 2-lane roundabout outside the estate where I live. At least once a week the following scenario occurs.
The road I take back home that leads onto this roundabout is a single lane road.
Since I take the 3rd exit, I indicate right (because I'm not taking the first or second exit) and drive into the inner lane on the rb.
The car behind me pulls into the outer lane, which you should only do if you're taking the first or second exit
I pass the second exit, and indicate left because I'm taking the next exit
Person in the outer lane passes the first two exits (without indicating on either of them) and turns into the third exit.
Either I speed up to avoid them crashing into me, or pull out of taking the exit altogether, and have to go all the way around again to take it.
I've seen it happen to other drivers on the same rb, and there is going to be a serious accident if people don't learn how to drive on it
If the money is right.Quote:

On a similar note - although it's hard to fault the drivers here - there's two crossroads I know of where both the top and bottom end of the + get the green light at the same time. You don't know the other driver has the green light as well obviously, so you can both end up turning right and going into the left lane at the same time. Very wierd system.
Tell me you're not one of those fools who waits until he can't see the road before he FINALLY turns on his headlights.Quote:

I always drive with my lights on, it's standard practice in a lot of countries. I think Bluebeard had the right idea about banning driving completely.
People who try to get on busses before all the passengers have gotten off, just take a step back you morons. This seems to be a particular issue at the stop outside the Square in Tallaght, every time I get off the bus there I have to fight through a scrum of people trying to get on, it's shocking.
Nope, I'm one of those who, just because the sun has gone behind a cloud, doesn't turn my lights on. At the time, I'd say about half the cars had lights on, and half didn't. I was able to see the jeep whether or not she was flashing at me, so I know the lights weren't essential. ;)Quote:

(Which leads me to another behaviour trend which should be banned - doing things because they do it on the continent)
I am sure almost everything I get up to tomorrow night in Longford will most likely come under the "behaviour which needs to be banned"
Marty's a lucky man;)Quote:

That's asking a lot, lip reading down a phone is pretty tricky ;)Quote:

I learned to eat eggs in Canada and there was no brown sauce so it was ketchup or maple syrup. Love the syrup on pancakes but not so fond on eggs. Then when I was 6 and travelling down then east coast of the USA we used to get breakfast in McDonald's (at the insistance of my brother and I who had only been to the one in Dublin once at that stage and were obsessed) and their eggs were so rubberlike that I had to mask them with loads of ketchup. Now cant stand fried or scrammbled without loads of ketchup (at least 4 sachets if in a hotel/Restaurant and all egg must be covered)
Just burn it a little, lovely!
People in my house who complain when we go out to dinner because I like my steak rare, lamb pink and eggs runny
Agree with fried, but not with scrambled. Eggs should not be runny, its just wrong.
Eating eggs should be banned you sick, sick, individuals.
Runny as can be- then dip the bread into it with a rasher in between and savour the flavour of the ketchup mixin with the yellow sh!t, nice.Quote:

Putting your bag on a seat beside you on public transport and sighing when someone asks to sit down on that seat.
I do this. I don't people invading my personal space. :pQuote:

Remember reading in the UL paper years ago about little tricks like that. Keep the seat beside you free by looking up and smiling at everyone as they walk by.
That'll work okay with most people, but you'll get some real weirdos to sit beside you.Quote:

I remember getting on a bus to Longford once and this nun sits beside me. I was listening to Metallica and she said I should stop listening to the devil's music, gave me some rosary beads and a load of other stuff and bored the @rse off me for the next hour.Quote:
