This totally irks my goat. I often see young children riding much smaller bikes than this with the forks facing the wrong way. I just don't understand how their parents can be so ignorant.

I think I'm more offended by that spectacularly useless mudguard than the issue of the back-to-front forks.

It needs to be low at the rear of the wheel, and end further up toward TDC to be of any functional use in keeping the rider's feet dry. That, and the fact that aesthetically speaking, to me it's like having teeth pulled sans anesthesia.

Of course if you point the wheel the right way....

It's probs a subscene of the fixie scene innit bruv

Is it a fixie? I wondered about the lack of brakes and apparent lack of pedal-back hub brake too.

I am struggling to move my itching eyes away from the saddle. That doesn't look right at all to me.

Having assessed the background, I am quite confident that this well polished, fastidiously maintained machine is legitimate and definitely not stolen.

I can't post a photo, but the window switches reminded me of this:

At work, we have pieces of switchgear which are used for operating motors/pumps etc.

They have start and stop buttons, and they also have LEDs to show if the motor is running or stopped.

The colours are like this:

Start button: Green
Stop button: Red
Motor Running LED: Red
Motor Stopped LED : Green

So you press the green button, and the red light comes on. Press the red button, and the green light will come on!

Agh yes, I've worked in (the same) a similar place. Drove me bonkers.

Every time I go to the doctors, I have to look at this. I swear, I would happily smash that wall down.



Just to add, the blonde is nothing to do with this. Good from afar, far from good.

Makes me think of Countdown

It actually makes sense though. Red means stop - but it also means danger/warning.

Upon pressing the green button to start the machine - the red light comes in to indicate that the machine is operating and potentially dangerous.

You press the red stop button and the green light comes on to indicate that the machine has stopped and is therefore in a 'safe' mode.

A thread for people repelled by the chaos of the OCD society!

I'm not generally very OCD but one thing that irks me here in Thailand is that nearly every light switch is in at the top when it's On and in at the bottom when it's off. An unavoidable misfortune of two way switches but for ordinary one way switches it's a nightmare. They're all upside down.

Whats really bad is the glass bricks are 20 across, so is not even as if they were dividing an odd number.

For some reason looking at that made me think of this.....

Never noticed the vowel/consonant holes being offset before, even the divider doesn't line up with the gap between the letters above - meltdown!!

Recently moved into a new house and found this when I opened the garage.
