Flights Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 Realizing how much things are tied to your bank card rather than your bank account. A big bastard cash machine swallowed my card about a month ago and today I couldn't get on spotify on my phone as I'm no longer a premium member. I've also been swatted down to a puny active member on here from a supporter and I now have to pay my mobile phone manually each month. What a fucking grind.

Lemonade Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 I know it shouldn't, but for some reason it really annoys me when I see people wearing t-shirts for bands they've never heard of as a fashion accessory. You know like those ugly vintage looking prints they do in Miss Selfridge or whatever? The other day a girl came into my working wearing a Blondie t-shirt. Being a Blondie guy I was like "Ooh, great t-shirt! Are you going to see them in The Olympia next month?" and she replied, and I swear I'm not making this up, "No, I don't really know any of her songs, except for that one "I Touch Myself" ". There's another guy who listens exclusively to pop music, Rihanna and Katy Perry and such, and yet he wears a Ramones shirt almost every day, he must have 4 or 5 different ones, and he doesn't know anything about the Ramones other than that they have a cool logo.

Soda Jerk Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Cunts on the street that I live on putting their rubbish in the paper/card recycling bin. It's like they seem to think the normal bin is for normal household waste, and the recycling bin is for everything else which is throwawayable. I just saw some total waster throwing in what I'm pretty sure was an old VCR, plug socket extensions and what looked a box full of crockery into the cardboard recycling bin. A woman in my block seems to think the paper and card bin is for all recycling, so throws in about 10 wine bottles every weekend. It affects me in no way at all. Just read the sign on the bin, guys. It's a really, really big sign. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fertuiee Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Ive been to a lot of fucking cities around this world, driven in them too!! Now, im not saying it ONLY happens here in Aberdeen, but I have certainly only noticed it with any regularity here. The total fuck heads who push their baby laden pram into the road whilst they are waiting to cross!!!! what the fuck IS that all about????? Ive seen it on dual carriage ways, housing scheme streets, main roads, you name it!!! LOTS. Its normally the imaciated ( ? ) moon tan - toothless - gurning - eyebrow shaven - always in a rush to get nowhere - junkie - scum, thats granted, but not always. Yesterday, an Asian guy was pushing his be-prammed victim, half way across the fucking ZEBRA CROSSING - lights on GREEN!! on Holburn Street, looking at me as if to say "....stop then", I fucking wound the window down as he passed and shouted PRESS THE FUCKING BUTTON!!!!, YOU HAVE A BABY IN YOUR PRAM..................I REALLY wanted to fight him. Tonight, driving towards Esslemont Avenue, a woman carrying what can only be described as a "Small human" ( it wasn't a baby in a pram but still ) STOOD in the middle of the cunting road!!!! waiting for the fucking traffic to stop!!!! What was even weirder about it, was the person she was carrying looked way to big to be escorted in such a fashion, she was hardly breast feeding a 10 year old in the street so I guess ill give that swerve, but someone is going to die I swear it. Fucking Pricks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Gold Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Seems a bit stupid that there's lights at a zebra crossing. Pedestrians have right of way on those suckers anyway. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucking PricksA woman with a child once walked out in front of me on Bedford road, so I stopped to let her across. But she didn't cross the road. No. She got in my car and asked for a lift.I make sure I always lock my doors now. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Easy Wishes Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Pelican. Or Pe-li-con. Pedestrian Light Controlled Crossing. On this note, and just for everone's information a Toucan crossing (as in two can cross) is one that both pedestrians and cyclists may use, and normally involves a cycle lane. A crossing that has the red man/green man lights next to the button rather than at the other side of the road is called a Puffin crossing (pedestrian user-friendly intelligent crossing) and also will have sensors that detects the presence of a pedestrian so that if the button is pressed but the pedestrian moves then the call to stop traffic is cancelled. Finally, the rarely seen and wonderfully named Pegasus crossing is like a Toucan crossing but incorporates horses and will sometimes have the activation buttons higher up so it's easier for a horse rider to press.

So, these are good for traffic, because traffic won't be stopped unnecessarily, but they are shit for pedestrians, because unless you're stood right next to the button, you can't see the green man if it's a busy crossing. Alot of the time, they don't make sounds now either. They took something practical and visible, and made it worse. Broken Britain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've yet to find one. The T Junction at the top of Market Street has them. I saw a programme about germs recently, and pedestrian crossing buttons have more germs on them than toilets apparently, so there's no way I'm touching one of those spinning buttons of death again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one on Powis Terrace pretty much always cancels even though I don't move form the spot I was standing in when I pressed the button, meaning I have to stand there constantly pressing it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've yet to find one.Almost all of them, at least all of the ones I've checked. The one by Clydesdale crossing crossing Union Street over to Market Street has one for sure. Its not really a button, more like a peg/golf tee type thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the one by the Bedford bridge? If not, then that one is also a bastard for pretending you're not there. I used to cross there alot when I lived in Tillydrone, and I would just stand there mashing the button repeatedly. It became so much of a habit, I do it at all crossings now, just to make sure.

I know the sequence of the lights so know exactly when its cancelled and let traffic go instead of me, meaning I have to wait around like a spare cunt mashing the button again. Intelligent crossing my fucking arse. Intolerable fucking crossing more like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
