Re: Pet Peeves?
Nope, about 5hrs after the fact. When I'm driving, I spend as much of my time, er, driving, you know, mundane things like working the pedals, the indicator stalk, shifting gears, and looking forwards and in my mirrors, as well as using the steering wheel to keep my vehicle between the curb and the center line, you know, all those things that most people don't have time for while "driving".

Toilet cubicles that an arthritic pensioner could limbo dance under, and I could rest my chin on the top of. (were I so minded 
) 
.... At least in most Subways round here, and one or two other fast food franchises you benefit from the privacy of a whole room with a regular door in a regular door frame!

Re: Pet Peeves?
Doing surveys, when they ask you about DoB etc as a precursor and then ask again later on.
Parents who speak to their kids in a ooeygooey cartoon voice. It sounds stupid and makes you look like an idiot so why do you do it?
People who don't park all the way into their driveway and block the pavement. People who don't park on the road but on the pavement, just a little wouldn't be so bad, but blocking it entirely. It's great, I love to have to lurch out around you on to the road with a pushchair, great entertainment that.
Arsehats.

Re: Pet Peeves?
Could have just stopped there.
This arses me off no end. Same goes for people who talk to pets like that too. Twunts.
Twats always do that on the streets I ride my bike on too, thus forcing me onto the road and off the bike path the county DOT built especially so I wouldn't have to risk getting run over on the main road ...
See, things like this are the real reason I haven't bought a gun yet

Re: Pet Peeves?
You're more than welcome to come in the gents' and use the urinals.
That must be an LA thing - I don't see that here. In public anyway, I've seen people in houses tonguing their dogs like they're about to start giving them one

This is the analog model. That IS a letdown, I admit.
Still, we must not be downhearted.
On the plus side, it has a newspaper. And a drawer on the side that will allow the intrepid traveler to view the results of their efforts at leisure, sharing same with their fellow travelers should they so wish.
