Pointless "You should have"s...
Discussion
From looking around the posts on here there are some useless replies of the
"You/he/she/they shouldn't have been speeding"...
and
"You/he/she/they should have seen the sign"...
and
"You/he/she/they shouldn't have been naked while parallel parking"...
and
"You/he/she/they should'nt have <> in <>"
None of these are useful, and reflects more on the poster who thinks this is a spark of genius that the recipient hadn't thought of, than the person this is directed toward.
Is it me, or does that seem like a complete waste of time and effort???

Oh, that I understand, but it's the pointless "you shouldn't haves" which are sooo irritating:
Cardigan wearer:"You shouldn't have beens speeding"
Speedee:"I KNOW I SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN SPEEDING. EVERYONE KNOWS I SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN SPEEDING. THAT'S WHY I'M BEING DONE FOR SPEEDING. NO SH!T SHERLOCK - GO AWAY AND CARRY ON INSPECTING YER BELLY BUTTON!!!!"

[thinks] hmmm, he seems to be taking it well...[/thinks]
there is also a big ol chunk of the following:
Speedee: "I was done doing 30.0000009 in a 30. what is the likely penalty?"
Sensible Shoe Wearer:"What car was it in? Was it the A584756 in Idiotville?"
Speedee: "what? No, I really need some advice on penalties and how to progress from here in the quickest and least painful way"
Sensible Shoe Wearer:"Sorry, my mistake. What colour was your car?"...

Hmm - you should have posted this in General Gassing
sorry - you're quite right about most of my and marki's replies. But the observations still stand!
pointless "You should haves" and "had you shaved that morning" answers really shouldn't have a place on THIS particular forum, IMHO. Or am I wrong?

You should go and have a lay down
Sorry, Marki, but I'm happily engaged and I'm sure she'd be upset, and I'm sure you're a lovely bloke, but you've not even bought me dinner, or made me feel special and wanted yet...
Would a McDonalds make you feel special and wanted? lol.

You're wrong! To a point.
Take a look at the thread Tonyrec posted about a guy he stopped last night for driving like a tw@t. The guy genuinely believed he'd done nothing wrong. If he'd posted on here saying "bloody BiB wasting my time etc etc", he would have had a load of replies saying "if you hadn't been driving like a tw@, it wouldn't have happened". Sometimes people need the obvious stating to them! But you do have a point in the general scheme of things!
