So you don't believe people when they say they win 4&3 or have a 75 or 39 points ?! That's very strange


Oh i do believe the 4 & 3 bit , its the gross 75 or 39 points bit i dont, and to be honest how can you , never knew that there is such a format as Matchplay Medal or Matchplay Stableford ?

But you know what you shot, relative to par, for the holes you played. If you then play in, you have a score?

Because someone keeps their score whilst playing perhaps
 
a )People that drive poorly and cut you up then show you the 2 finger signs or worse , regardless of their sex

b) drivers with big cars but have no idea how to park them

C) people who plumb bob and have not a clue what they are doing , every single one i have seen doing it when ask gives me the wrong answer

D) Misogynists

Nicely played! :thup:

don't tell me, they were all women?

when I cant read a break I find it invaluable and infallible.
 
Why do people do what they do , I don`t really know , here are some i hate

1. Long tail back in traffic when 2 lanes come in one and you get those that see this and race ahead then try to cut in

I do that. If there's a long tailback, why make it longer when there's an empty lane?
People just get arsey once they realise they joined the queue too soon.

Why, when pedestrians decide to run across the road in front of you do they run 3 steps and walk the rest????

The only gross score that counts is a medal card , the rest are just maybe , we all know that , its a different mind set playing medals to a bounce game or any other game ............

I think this is the correct answer.
Filtering in is the best option but for some reason really annoys people.
Same with joining a motorway from slip road,adjust speed and filter in with the help of observant traffic already on motorway,in my opinion.I dont expect all to agree but just my thoughts.

I take it that if you were queuing in a shop and people came in and walked straight to the front then you would be OK with it?

Ridiculous response, truly ridiculous.

A queue in a shop is single laned, assuming one cashier, a two lane carriageway is exactly that, two lanes. Why not use them both?

Completely agree. There is a dual carriageway near me that filters into a single carriageway and for some reason the inside lane is always relatively empty and people queue up the right hand lane. You can turn left just before the 2 lanes filter into 1 and most people going up the left hand lane, do turn left, but it's like people think it must be a left turn only lane (it isn't) so get really annoyed when I happily drive up the left lane, past the queue of traffic and then try to filter in to the single lane. You always get one or 2 drivers that stare directly ahead and remain inches from the bumper of the car in front, refusing to let you merge as they've spent the last 10 minutes queuing up the outside lane.
 
Why do folk park their car outside of my house when our road is busy and leave it there when parking has eased and they could easily move it. Why especially do this on a Friday and not move it until Monday.

I am working hard on my acceptance of this...

Why do some people think it's OK to chomp gum opening and shutting their mouth - it's disgusting - I don't need to see the inside of your mouth when you are eating and the repetition of gum chewing is this at it's worse. Just keep your gob shut when you are chewing or eating.

This is a toughie for my acceptance...

But I don't worry too much about such things as there is nothing I can do to change the behaviour of these folks and so I just focus on keeping my side of the street clean.

For me the appropriate etiquette (as we here like etiquette) is to get out of the lane being closed as soon as possible. This may mean driving past the end of the queue but slowly and indicating that you'd like to move in - implying as soon as possible. You will be let in almost straight away. Tearing past drivers towards the front of the queue and then pushing in is poor form.
 
If it's safe to do so I always move over & appreciate it when people do it for me.

When approaching a slip road I always move into the middle lane so that cars joining from the slip road can do so without having to slow down at risk of stopping (illegal) and so they don't have to try and push in to the inside lane with problems that that can cause.

But if people filtered properly you wouldn't need to tear past a queue of drivers, as both lanes would be full and the system would be working.
