Snowball Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 When a cyclist is using the road as they should be, but as soon as it isn't convenient, they become a pedestrian. Red light? Oh hey, cyclist is on the pavement. Crossed the junction? Back on the road! Even hardcore cyclists with all the proper gear that you'd think would know better seem to do this all the time.Alternatively, when you're at a gig waiting for the bands to start up and it's not very busy so you're not squashed, but some self centred person with absolutely no awareness of their surroundings comes along and starts fidgeting. Not even flinging themselves about wildly, but turning round to talk to people etc, and jostling you just a little bit, every single time. Then you move to avoid it and somehow within 5 minutes they have moved too. Twenty minutes of being gently jostled by a fidget when I am managing to stand fucking STILL and I'm feeling pretty sour. Bonus point if they have a giant backback that they somehow seem to have miraculously forgotten that they have on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyEB Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Those hobbie magazines that usually come out at this time of year that allow you to build a wooden dinosaur/boat/car etc. They entice you with a cheap first issue and a snazzy ring binder then kick you in the balls by hiking the cost up for the next 156 issues.Next thing you know, you have spent 600 on a wooden dinosaur that is not even life sized and you have a four hole ring binder and only a two hole punch.
