Never seen this one before but I'd be sharing your annoyance if I did.
On a separate note - people who walk slower than me (which when I'm in a hurry and late for a meeting is pretty much everyone) annoy me beyond reason. Mainly tourists in London, getting in my bloody way as they enjoy the sights and iconic locations and stop to 'selfie' themselves every 10m or so. Get out of my bloody way!
Broke my leg two years ago, walking slowly down Piccadilly with a crutch, two Australians walking towards me side by side, both hit my shoulders at the same time, they turned around and started giving me some abuse for not getting out of their way because they were here on holiday ...in my country.On a separate note - people who walk slower than me (which when I'm in a hurry and late for a meeting is pretty much everyone) annoy me beyond reason.

Car trim levels that promise more than they can deliver. From the slow and gutless Golf MK4 GTI to Civic Type-S. With the 1.4 98hp engine the S probably stands for Slow..
Heh. I had a Fiat 500L as a hire car in Italy. "500L...large" said the signorina at the car hire desk. "500L...lethargic" would have been a better guess.Edited by PotatoSalad on Thursday 20th July 23:41

Type fking English, in properly constructed sentences, FFS!
Plus all the whinging thickos who want "compo" or contract get-outs for stuff that's entirely their own stupid fault for not reading the terms when they struck a deal, or moaning that they've used up too much of their mileage allowance on a PCP deal. Facing excess mileage charges? Boo-fking-Hoo. Turns out that about 104.2% of all the drivers of those Audis, BMWs and Range Rovers out there looking superciliously down their noses at me in my 'lowly' Ford haven't actually "made it in life" at all, but are stuck to some big-arsed monthly payments which they slog their guts out in a stty office job to fund. Remind me again who's the loser in this equation?

Driving up the local high street this morning, Golf in front of me spots the woman approaching the crossing so slows to about 10 mph so she'd be across before he gets there. But no, she stood on the pavement waiting until he'd stopped before she walked across!

Grown adults who press the button and wait to cross the road, when it's only you and them alive within 2000 miles.RizzoTheRat said:

That makes complete and utter common sense. Any moving car, no matter how slow, is a potential car making a mess of your knees.nonsequitur said:

It's almost as if people are scared that without saying it, then they'll be perceived as not being sorry / hurt / regretful enough.
Now it's become completely ubiquitous, i presume anybody who says it is lying. Witness today how Michael Gove 'deeply regrets' Trumps approach to the Paris Agreement.
By a ****ing thesaurus.
