Be patient my friends. The day will soon come when revenge will be ours. Soon they'll all be in autonomous cars, and we can while away our time confusing them by doing track stands.
My wife has just had a bloke shaking his fist and shouting at her for parking in his street, she was parking away from his house and outside of a customers where she was going to do the elderly ladies feet. The temptation for me to go and offer some calming advice to him is strong.
This is one of my favourite rants! Oh yes they like to 'own' bit of public highway. Where my mother lives, if you park on the wrong patch of tarmac you get the oldies bashing on the door and shaking with rage as they describe their perfectly healthy husband's battle with cancer 10 years ago to justify why they have to be 10 feet closer than the 30 yards from their door they normally are (the bungalows are set back from the road). Pretty rich considering my mother has to get to my car, and she can't walk unaided at all.

"nobody is tempted to" I hope your brakes work well or you can jump kerbs! Heck, I've even seen motorists wrong-side the island and halt facing oncoming traffic rather than abort a misjudged overtake...Traffic islands come in two flavours: those that still have enough room for a car to pass safely and those that I cycle past in primary so that nobody is tempted to.
My own mother did this last time I was there. She was ranting about the person down the road parking outside her house yet she doesn't even own a car!My wife has just had a bloke shaking his fist and shouting at her for parking in his street, she was parking away from his house and outside of a customers where she was going to do the elderly ladies feet.
