My dad used to go apesh*t at this.
I could sit in a car and listen to static for hours.

Well maybe if you took a trip there, or perhaps to the UK or better still Oz where they have signs for the likes of you telling people that they drive on the left and thus they should move into the fooking left lane and stop using the outer lanes unless overtaking, your driving might improve.

A new one I'm seeing on here lately is "Looser" instead of "Loser" and all it's variants. Stop it, it makes you look like a moron.

People confusing "it's = it is" with "its = belonging to it" :rolleyes:

Everybody's somebody's fool.

I hate kangaroo testicles and monkey brains even though I've never tried them. But you're welcome to try them and let me know how they taste.

I have been to France/UK and followed their laws, this is about Irish Speeding Laws and you know it

I could give out about the speed limit on motorways all day, but thats not the point

To be fair, you were originally saying its ok for you to sit in the outside lane as long a you were doing the speed limit. This is incorrect and that's why people were trying to correct you on it.

Taken from the RSA website:

Lane 3
If you are travelling on a three-lane motorway, you must use this lane only if traffic in lanes 1 and 2 is moving in queues and you need to overtake or accommodate merging traffic. Once you've finished overtaking, move back to your left and allow faster traffic coming from behind to pass by.

to be fair, i said you shouldnt have to pull in just because someone wants to speed if there are cars in the inside lane

that rule does not give someone permission to speed

but i think we are close to the same wave lenght now

If someone says they're going to be somewhere at a certain time and they don't show.

Case and point, today we were told that someone would be up to the apartment between 11 and 12. We're still waiting. :mad:

It's a thread about things that annoy you. Why can't we be annoyed when people use phrases wrongly? Because it bothers you???

When people use the word 'ignorant' in place of rude/impolite.

I know it can be used in this way, but it seems overused on this site and in the country in general.

A few American things...

The use of the word 'sophomore' instead of second.

The USA's obsession with college/university...even when middle-aged, still going on about how great their college was/is. Even still wearing tshirts and jumpers with the logo on it. It's just a big school! Who cares!?

The word 'varsity'.
