Why do people...

[Amanda P]

Why do people buy expensive bottles of fizzy sugary drinks, and then throw them out of car windows only half drunk?

Don't you roll your eyes at me. Take ya foot off the effing brake and use your hand brake!

Religion and church are two completely different things. Regular mass attendance is not required for all Christians in order to be considered as "fully commited". I do appreciate that that's the case for the Catholics though, so I will sit quietly here in my corner and eat my pies.. And if my choices send me straight to Hell so be it!! I find Gods grace to more apparent outside temples and that's where I prefer to pay my respects.
('eese pi's ah 'superb!! tsomp)

I figure that once I am down there in Hell I will be so busy shaking hands with old friends I'll hardly notice the climate...

I know Christians that never go to church. I know poeple that are not Christians that go to midnight mass because the love Christmas and its part of their tradition. Is that wrong?

I know people who purport to be Christians and often go to church, but are far from 'Christian' in their attitude to others.

Back on topic, Why do people think that fog lights need to be used for the rest of their drive, simply because they passed through a light mist a few miles back?

 

[SatNavSaysStraightOn]

Why do people in black, white, or silver cars think they are visible in dark shade/dawn/dusk, fog/mist or at night? Put your lights on...

and for that matter, why do people think the primary use of lights is to see with, when it is to be seen with

On a cycling note - why does everyone assume that if you are making a long tour that you must be doing it for charity? When I did LEJOG a few years ago I was asked by just about everybody I encountered which charity I was riding for. The answer, of course, was none. I was riding because I love getting about on my bicycle, and for no better reason than that - pure selfishness, I suppose. I've nothing against charity rides, but it bug me a little that whenever you go on a tour everyone assumes it must be to raise funds for a cause.

...who set the temporary warning signs on motorways to warn of an upcoming hazard (you know the kind of thing: 50, flash, 50, flash etc) not turn the damn things off when the hazard's over? Don't they realise it worse than negates the entire point of having the damn things in the first place? (Probably not, because you only get that kind of job if you're the kind of humourless power-hungry dweeb who wears shirts with breast pockets so you can carry a useful selection of ballpoint pens: one blue, one black, one red, one green.)

... because they taste disgusting.

Why do people who are riding clipless insist on rolling up to railings/lampost/whatever and hanging on to that when stopped at red lights, instead of unclipping their foot and stopping in the proper place?

Quality rant that.

I did once come across one which was clearly faulty ( north of lancaster on the M6 if I recall) and it could not be turned off. Some bright spark had the initiative to change it from flashing 50 to flashing 70! worked though because you first thoughts are when seeing something flashing 70 is "must be faulty"!

...stand in the middle of the bus, blocking the way so that you can't get to the free seats at the back to sit down?

...think its cute or even cool to call you "babes", "sweets" , "love" etc when they don't even know you?
