Why ?

If one disagrees with a point someone has in a debate then the correct response is to say that you disagree with the opinion and then present your alternative case. To use comments like "Ridiculous response, truly ridiculous." is in my opinion insulting and rude!

There's a button that allows 'insulting and rude' posts to be 'Report'-ed - and assessed independently by Mods!

As it happens, I think the analogy was wrong - for the reason Slime gave - but if applied to a Theatre Bar at half time, it might be more appropriate! That is definitely 'every man for himself'! The English queueing etiquette goes out the window!

The problem with 2 into 1 lanes - and I experienced just such a problem every evening for about 15 months some years ago - is that, past a certain loading, some of the 'timid' drivers, who got into the long lane early and have waited, object to the 'less timid' drivers who use the empty lane and (attempt to) merge nearer the 'neck'. There were often occasional 'in-betweeners' who would half-merge quite early, but stay in the other lane sufficiently to prevent anyone from going past them! And all this was in spite of signs saying (and showing) 'Use both lanes and merge'!

I found an alternative route that went near a nice Golf Course (Chartham Park) that I could play cheaply instead! Problem solved!

Why does anyone over the age of 16 have a Facebook account?

See - this annoys me too. Especially when many companies now invite you to enter competitions via Facebook. I have no desire to ever visit Facebook or create my own "page". Discrimination I tell thee!!!

If you find that insulting, then I apologise, as no insult was meant.
I merely used the word 'ridiculous' to highlight just how wrong I thought your argument was.
It was used as a point of emphasis rather than insult.

Why do people just stop in front of you when walking down a busy street. Why can't people just move to the side and stop?

 

[RW1986]

Also, I know it's been mentioned before but motorways, why can't people drive on them properly? Drive in the left hand lane unless you decide to overtake. Normally it's the left hand lane that is free as every other **** is in the middle or right hand lane!

Phil McAveety was a useful St Mirren player back in the 80s. Why did he not think the joke very funny...

Why is the last place I look for my glasses the top of my head?
