Years from now we'll say 'hey, remember when they tried to implement that thing that would make things easier and safer but we were all like I REFUSE TO UNDERSTAND THIS.'

Royal Parade was a screamer too but iirc they put in traffic lights a while back which kinda ruins the trial by fire thrill

yeah royal parade is almost logical now

I dont actually recall Canberra's roundys being that bad, but I'm not a driver. Theyre VERY LARGE is the problem so you can be going in an endless circle and just not realise where to peel off. (look up parliament house in google maps as a perfect example).

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Friday, 16 June 2017 01:04 (seven years ago) link

Oi, in Queensland, they're called "roundabouts," in NSW, they're "traffic circles," and down here in the A.C.T., we call 'em FIDGET SPINNERS.

Aw, thanks, AA. The shadows are going in different directions, but I was going to explain that by saying it's because it was taken in the Southern Hemisphere.

more traffic IA

At least once a week some raging dickbag with a deathwish tries to make a left turn into the main road in front of our office, but instead of taking all four lanes in one shot, they stop halfway

because they think that's a thing you can do. there's a short merge lane on the other side of the median which they seem to think is a waiting bay for left-turners but it's a merge lane for through-traffic

there's no stopping! you go, or you don't go, but if you sit in the middle you're going to get clipped from behind by oncoming traffic in either direction

maroons, I tell ya

Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 20 June 2017 22:39 (seven years ago) link

also IA that my quiet lunch in a coffee shop was ruined by a cacophony of loud-talkers and forced me to abandon my quiet lunch and retreat back to the office.

loudtalkers make me the most IA of all humans on this earth. i hate them

Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 20 June 2017 22:41 (seven years ago) link

I am just generally IA today. I am in severe back pain. I cant hear properly in one ear. Its winter and dark and cold. I was telling a rambling story about the new security system at our work and my lovely partner told me to shut up and "stop complaining" (the actual thing he said, when I said anyone could walk in and shoot us, was "well then at least the complaining would stop". Charming)

I had a customer unleash a barrage of swearing at me on my first call of the day.

I am ready to fucking cut a bitch.

i just hate when people turn left while driving. no exceptions.

assawoman bay (harbl), Wednesday, 21 June 2017 01:38 (seven years ago) link

twice while i was driving to the gym i was stopped at lights and the person in front of me, after waiting a long time at the light, signaled to turn left. i would have gotten in the right lane had you assholes signaled earlier. now there's no room for me to do that and i'm stuck behind you long after it turns green. think of someone other than yourself for once. at least they signaled at all unlike 90% of maryland drivers who are unaware of what signaling is. i guess? ARGH

People who block doors while having a conversation - wtf

Unchanging Window (Ross), Wednesday, 21 June 2017 20:55 (seven years ago) link

Every morning when I leave the house and then the corner there is someone sitting in a car parked in the street with the door open having a conversation with a person standing in the middle of the street. Same people, same time, every day.

i think this one fits because it's pretty irrational - but saw a guy wearing a suit walking a dog with his wife. Why not change and then go walk the dog, instead of looking like a total douchebag

Unchanging Window (Ross), Thursday, 22 June 2017 01:38 (seven years ago) link

Suddenly there's an epidemic of dickheads driving around with dealer placards (their logo, not proper dealer plates) and apparently California only requires a tiny registration paper in the front window (until you get your real plates withing NINETY DAYS), so if some asshole in a brand new generic car runs over a pedestrian or forces you off the road you have no way to identify him. Good policy. Especially since about a third of these people drive like they've got diplomatic immunity.

Also, people who list "being present" as something they do on dating sites. Fuck off with that shit.

Ambush potlucks. aka, not standalone parties that are potlucks that you can decline, but something you already have to go to that is later turned into a potluck (ie a theatre rehearsal or a work meeting).

I can't cook worth a shit so naturally always feel the crap I bring is inferior and then feel too guilty to eat other people's stuff. or I just bring nothing and get stinkeye and then bring my lunch which is equally awkward.

Charles "Butt" Stanton (Neanderthal), Monday, 26 June 2017 13:09 (seven years ago) link

I thought that said 'Amish potlucks' at first glance, which did indeed seem like an irrational irritant.

Opening Google maps on my phone, get the message 'to continue, let your device turn on location using Google's location service'.
No! You don't need to know where I am in order to tell me where another place is!! Stop making me cancel out of this message just to look at a sodding map!

Okay it's avocados today. Fucking garbage fruit. Always bruised. Always moldy ON THE INSIDE. I cut one in half that feels perfectly ripe on the outside, half of it's brown/grey, there's mold growing AROUND THE PIT, little voids under the skin... I'm half expecting to find hair and teeth inside them. I love them but goddamn it, can I just get a good one once in a while?
