Why is it that.....

Why do people commenting on news stories on the internet, always think they know more than anyone involved in the case/story/etc?

Also why do trains always leave on time when you are running late?

Why do people risk their safety crossing the road when there's a pedestrian crossing 20 yards down the road?

Seen that today NR. An old bat pushing a trolley right in the middle of a dual carriageway in LIVERPOOL less than 20 yards from a pedestrian crossing. I told myself she must be either suffering from dementia or be terminally stupid because she could've easily been mown down.

Because I'm very persuasive

Degsy - you and me both!

Well have a word with yourself LB for not making me train enough

I can't stand drivers who don't either give you a wee wave of acknowledgement or flash hazards etc. when you let them in, or clearly stop on a narrow road to let them past etc.  Soooooooooooo rude.  Or people who don't say thanks when you hold a door open.  Grrrrrr   I was brought up to say 'thank-you', and so should everyone else have been!  I'll get off my high-horse now  

I drive 10 minutes to work every day and go through 6 sets of traffic lights, I amuse myself by watching other drivers, and at almost every light, if the person sitting next to me is female under the age of 50 she is usually texting and will miss the light change

Why do people join the site and ask for training advice 3 minutes (possibly exagerated to make point) before their first 5k/10k/HM... ?

And then they are normally wanting to turn right into the next road and it's really congested so you end up stuck in more traffic. It should be illegal for people to make turns like that!

Drivers who don't acknowledge me either get the universal sign for w*nker... or I mouth THANK YOU out of the window and they get a slow clap 

Why is it that taxi drivers are allowed to even be ON the road?

Because it'd make the pavements far too dangerous.

True! LOL!

Why is it that shops don't seem to answer the phone anymore if you call them?

Why have both my telephone lines gone dead, meaning that I shall have to spend hours tomorrow  and lots of money trying to get through to an actual live person at Telecom using my mobile phone????

You drive 10 minutes to work?

Wow!
