    @MrOneLung you're right that's proper scummy, so apologies, but I couldn't help thinking of this which always makes me smile.

    Sounds like an RD and KM type show.
  • The amount of people on here that say "Belgiums" instead of "Belgians". That and grown men writing "simples" drives me insane.

    People driving in torrential rain with their lights off.

    Over the last 4 or 5 days I've driven around 1,000 miles, much of it in "daylight" when it has been absolutely pi$**** down, yet a surprising number of motorists seem completely oblivious to the conditions.

    Worst culprits, in no particular order, BMWs, Mercs, 4 wheel drives and audis.

    I only noticed one van driver without lights which was a pleasant surprise.

    Drivers who don't indicate when turning. Lost count of the amount of times in the last couple of days when people have slowed right down in front of me and then turned into their driveway or junction without indicating. Feel like getting out and walking over to reach into their car and snap the indicator arm off seeing as they don't effing need it.

    odd thing is that most cars in your list have an automatic setting which puts lights on in poor conditions. So it is either stupidity or arrogance on the part of the driver not to put their lights on.

    Exactly what I was going to say. Mine are always on auto, don't think I've ever turned the lights on or off manually, the car just does whatever is appropriate for the conditions

    Going back to the Maccy D's mess argument... as i've just caught up on it...

    How can anyone believe it was ever an intention of fast food chains to have to add 'clear & clean tables' to their staff job descriptions in the beginning?

    It's fine that they have to clean the tables as that's a part of normal table service but come on.... you're either seriously lazy or ignorant, if you think it's fine to leave your mess behind.

    It's a pikey thing to do and will show your kids in future that in fact you don't have to leave an area as you found it... oh no indeed kids feel free to leave your litter all over the shop.

    Just because people have become less classy, more lazy and certainly more ignorant, doesn't make it ok to do it yourselves.

    Act like adults, clear up after yourselves. Leave the table as close to how you'd expect to find it as you can, it's just polite.





    Finally what the hell were you doing eating putrid Maccy D's in the first place?

    If that's the one where he played the cross dresser from the 20s, I think that's the clip that sent me over the edge on my disliking of him and it ain't got nothing to do with chickwithdickophobia.
