When I'm reversing on the mirrors I can almost guarantee that my Mrs will lean forward to look in the passenger door mirror and all I can see is the back of her head!
Mine does the same, leans forward at just the wrong time to pick her back pack up or to put her purse or phone back in it.
So annoying but she doesn't realise what she is doing and I daren't tell her
On a longish trip she will take her shoes off but she won't make any attempt to put them on until we are stopped outside the house this is after she has farted about putting stuff back in her bag and then noticing something has slipped down the side of the seat, so she has to fumble around retrieving it, then she will finish texting/FB posting/buggering about with picture filters, etc, etc!! "just give me a minute"

Dropping mine off on a busy high street, lights on red, quick exit required, is fraught with danger and angst
A situation entirely of your own making.In my experience, after 5 or 10 seconds at a red, a woman will say, “I won’t wait until you get around the corner, I’ll bail out here”, only then will they start to look for their purse, phone, shoes etc.
In my previous job, I was convinced that they’d sit there sighing at a red light, then at the exact second that it changed, they’d be out, standing at the f/n/s window scrabbling in their purse for change, while the enraged drivers behind would be chorusing, “Fu**ing Black Cab drivers, all the fu**ing same, wa*kers!”

Not my wife, but a friends boss who is head teacher at a secondary school.
She has introduced a one way system for students moving around the school. So if you need to go to your next lesson in the adjacent classroom and it’s on the wrong side you have to walk all the way round the school or get an order mark. All lessons now start late and teachers who don’t have the one way system have to try and go against a stream of students.
The idea didn’t last long!
We had a "one way" system when I started at secondary school, apparently Mr Louis the deputy head had introduced at some point in the early 80s and it was still going and joined in the mid-90s. You could only go out of the building from the door by the main stairs, if you wanted to go "in" you had to go down to one of the ends of the building.

Nobody knows what purpose it served and nobody dared ask. But if Mr Louis caught you going "in" that way, you would be subject to his tirades, pupil or staff.

That sort of thingperfectly captures what school is really for; crushing kids into accepting stupid, arbitrary, and petty rules devised by frustrated and angry power hungry walt tossers in preparation for an entire life of having to deal with such peopleNobody knows what purpose it served and nobody dared ask.

My school was always bitterly cold but for absolutely no reason whatsoever it was strictly forbidden to wear a coat anywhere within the dismal concrete building, a rule zealously enforced by people who themselves had no idea why such a rule existed but had never thought to question it.
Just thinking about school boils my piss

SImiilary - school dress code says "black or dark blue coats only, no bright colours" for what they can wear to school,My school was always bitterly cold but for absolutely no reason whatsoever it was strictly forbidden to wear a coat anywhere within the dismal concrete building, a rule zealously enforced by people who themselves had no idea why such a rule existed but had never thought to question it.

Same kids then have to walk home along dark, unlit roads in winter when the sun has set at 4pm before the bus drops them off...
At our school the rule was that you always kept to the left in the corridors, nothing wrong with that.
However, they not only had a boys; and a girls' playground, but boys' and girls' stairs to go with i! So the simple process of moving from one classroom to another could involve walking the entire length of the school, up the stairs and the whole length back again.
When I mentioned this to the caretaker, he said, "Bit of discipline never does anybody any harm." Since I got older, I have realised he was absolutely right.

If only there were a way to pay without coins... a situation entirely of your own making Frank (presumably you had a plastic bag over the 'broken' card machine)In my experience, after 5 or 10 seconds at a red, a woman will say, “I won’t wait until you get around the corner, I’ll bail out here”, only then will they start to look for their purse, phone, shoes etc.

In addition, while most fares proffered a CC at the start of the trip, so that the card could be validated, many would not pull the card out until they got to their destination, among them many dozy bints who thought that maybe it could be validated by my just looking at it, WRONG, I had to swipe the card through a groove in the onboard monitor, this took 5, maybe 8 seconds, still not funny to those drivers behind, who’d seen her hop out at the lights and hand it through my window.
In closing, a plastic bag wouldn’t have worked in my taxi, my monitor/validator was linked to the meter, card swipe no worky, meter no worky, meter no worky, ergo no money coming in, never a good idea for a taxi driver.
Still, don’t give up sniping away, you throw ‘em at me, I’ll knock ‘em out of the park.
I was no angel out there, I did a few questionable things, if you can hit me with one, I’ll raise my hands in surrender, but I did the job right, I went anywhere that the public wanted, north, south, east, or west, and I took pounds, (UK, Scottish, and N Irish), dollars, euros, debit and credit cards, but not cheques.
