A majority of drivers turn left from the right side of a wide single lane and right from the left side balking others following them.

Why is it, a so called celebrity (Lucy lawless) will travel half way around the world by jet, to chain herself to a deep sea drill rig protesting against fossil fuel, when there are sandals camels and sailboats available....

Why are folk so politically correct, a spade really is just a spade?..why call it something else?..

Why is it some people dont take responsibility for their own mistakes? Today I got flicked a job that was from another guy I work with. The customer was irate but I knew nothing about the job. I poked around in the ceiling and called the guy who started the job and he denied everything about what had been disconnected. So for what should have been a 10 minute fix I spent almost 3 hours rectifying stupid mistakes and there was some breakage involved. Not on my part, on his. The way my work runs is like a mafia. Had the bloke told me what he had done as opposed to denying it it would have been a 10 minute fix, I wouldn't even charge for it. Its give and take, one hand washes the other etc. We all make mistakes. But all take and no give makes the axe fall quicker. If there was a thread of what made me angry today I would have posted this there, but it's probably not a very PC topic.

Nah I reckon it's because the government didn't impose laws in the early 1900s banning some people to breed. That being said I do have 1 child.... no further comment on that one.

Why is it that a box of Beer has gone up rather slyly. Seems to be nothing under $40.00 these days............

Taxes increase twice a year in line with the CPI :( I run a pub, its a nightmare, killing the industry and every single customer complains about it so I've gotta hear it for twice a year for weeks from everyone. not to mention having to remake all the menus all the time and repricing hundreds of items. We have to do it this week too :( Get ready to be stung again.

This explains a bit of it

Quote:

"Excise rates are expressed per litre of alcohol (LAL) for alcoholic beverages. The volume of alcohol subject to excise duty is calculated by multiplying the actual volume of product by its alcoholic strength. For example, 3,000 litres of spirit with an alcohol strength of 3.3% will have 99 LAL.

Excise rates for alcohol are indexed twice a year in line with the consumer price index (CPI) – generally on 1 February (5 February in 2018) and 1 August."

Why is it that when Smith's bring out limited runs of chips they never make the really good ones permanent. Granted there are some absolute flops, but the garlic bread chips are great.

Why is it that drivers not only travel at 10kms below the speed limit but then stick so closely together no one can overtake them?

If you love your car so much that you wanna spend that much more time in it rather than reach your destination at least allow others to get to theirs quicker!!!

And my missus says I'M a car fanatic..

When caravans do this (which is actually illegal in SA) I have been known to get beside 1 and then force my way between creating a decent passing space. Yes I know that one day it might bite me, but for the safety of other drivers trying to pass a stupid convoy of nomads I'll continue doing so.

It's an interesting topic to be fair. I'm not old enough to even consider buying a caravan but I do tow trailers frequently with varied weights and I adapt my driving style to suit. I have a pretty good feel for what the ranger can do so I leave a tad more space between the car in front then necessary but that's because the bare minimum for me is often viewed as a gap when pulling up for a red light so its nicer to myself to break harder then I like but not rear end some fool who jumped in front. And the load in my ute and trailer varies so I have a ballpark idea of how things will go but no guarentee, plus the brakes on rentals dont always work the best.

Irony

Driving in Tassie at the moment, and either everyone is too polite to overtake or as above, loves their car too much and doesn't leave any space.

Definitely makes me miss my baby so much more - I'm in a ****ty Holden Malibu rental today, and doesn't leave any confidence overtaking ANY car at present, in the GT I'd blow 2 or 3 road hogs at the slightest break without even thinking about it.

In the GT I'd blow by 2 or 3 road hogs without even thinking about it, in the rental I need to have an airplane's runway worth of clear road just to overtake 1 car..

Why is it when you break a shoelace it is impossible to buy replacements which match those that came with the footwear?

Why is it... some people "Ask" to join a certain club yet moan about certain rules of applying for said club, clearly club has choice who they want and don't want as members, there vetting works well.
Mate put name forward to our local club (they have policy of putting photo on main entrance notice board) there was a dart in his head on photo, he laughed about it, and did not glare at someone who has served there country and no dought elderly. At least i sleep well before getting up and going to work....I do know some people have good reasons for not working, i just have'nt found one yet...

Why is it that some atheists sing 'Soul Music'? If there is no God then there are no such things as souls.

Why does the sun lighten our hair, but darken our skin?

Why can't women put on mascara with their mouth closed?

Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?

Why is it called lipstick if you can still move your lips?

Why is it that to stop Windows, you must click on "Start"?

Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavour, and dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?

Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?

Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour?

Why is the word dictionary in the dictionary?
