    Does anyone else find it extremely irritating when people are out walking on the backroads, not leaving enough space for cars to get by?! I mean really, they can hear the car coming, the least they could do is push in to hedgerows to avoid being hit.

    Why can't they just walk somewhere like a park instead of walking around like lunatics causing accidents?

    Nobody should leave their house ever again. Either on foot or any other mode of transport.
    You'll look ridiculous, annoy everybody else out there, and whatever you wear will pïss somebody off.
    Just don't bother.

    Unless you have a hovercraft

    It's the ones wearing day glo who walk in packs three or four abreast like they're on the pilgrimage Santiago de Compostela that grind my gears...

    Not a sign of them going single file.

    & they pay no fu cken motor tax.

    Likewise. **** you OP, why would you try and trick me into thinking my dream of getting to fight through a zombie apocalypse was becoming a reality?!

    Isn't this how "An american wearwolf in London" got started?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    I don't mind them as long as they're wearing hi viz. It's these fúckers that go out at night walking with dark jackets on unlit roads that I'm afraid of. Hit them and your driving days are over. Of course then there is the extra stupid ones who like to have a black dog on one of these extendable leashs and think it's quiet acceptable to let the dog walk the opposite side of the road to them while they have the leash crossing the road like a marathon finish line tape. By the grace of god I spotted it in time but had to stop the car while the bítch wrangled her dog back to the right side of the road.

    I never see Walkers on the roads, maybe the odd empty bag of Tayto or Hunky Dorys in the ditch.
