Women wearing bras under backless tops. Looks ugly seeing masses of straps, clasps and strings - it'd look much better if it was all covered up otherwise it just looks a mess women simply didn't wear a bra at all.

Fixed.

Hmmmmm, for some women yes, others, errrrrm no thanks

I can't decide if you're sexist or a bumder...

[eybic]

Totally sexist as far as bra wearing goes. similarly, most women wouldn't want to see me with no top and my belly wobbling around.

Yeah, but chebs improve with size and wobbliness, so I reckon you're a bumder

People that walk 3 abreast, taking up the entire path, while meandering along then look at you like dirt when you say excuse me. This weekend we took the kids to a farm park, our 4 year old needed a wee and the toilets were miles away. He often doesn't leave himself much time to get to the toilet so you have to rush to avoid an accident. Rushing to the toilet through the farm park, come up behind a group of what must be 10 people, taking up the entire path and walking at a pace a snail could have challenged. I say excuse me whilst my 4 year old is asking where the toilets are, and get met with death stares from the group who slowly part only for one of them to chirp up, "Some people, no patience nowadays" as we rushed off.

I had to bite my tongue and carry on walking, partly so my lad wouldn't wee himself, partly so as not to cause a scene in front of him.

It's no fun when pedestrians do this on cycle paths etc.

I bike down a wide mixed use path for bikes and pedestrians. I will quite regularly come across pedestrians completely blocking the path. I even see single pedestrians walking down the middle and blocking it.

I see this a lot. I think a lot of time they are looking at their phone and not at the path so they tend to wander a bit but then come back to the middle. Bloody annoying trying to pass as they keep changing direction. I want to say "Put the fking phone down"

Put a bell on your bike. I was walking the dog who of course was catching interesting smells and wandering all over the place on a combined pedestrian/cycle path and heard a "ting ting" it made me stop look behind and pull the dog over well in advance of the cyclist passing. But I guess most will think it too old fashioned.

To be frank, your quadricycle does take up rather a lot of the pathway.
I would think in your case, a bell is a must-have.

It was meant to be in the style of Larry David. An obvious failure.

I would suggest you try a bit harder then.

When something unforeseen makes a simple task much more complex and time consuming

Like wanting to get a file of my Buffalo LinkStation NAS, only to find that the latest update to Win10 removed the SMB1.0 protocol which the NAS uses - necessitating a firmware update to it before I can get to my files

I have a bell that I use. I also use my voice. I also slow down for pedestrians.

Some still choose to be awkward though.

Nope. Sorry.

I haven't the foggiest clue what you are going on about.

The Plains Indians never had that sort of trouble with their buffalos until the
palefaces came along with their firesticks and ruined everything with their indiscriminate butchery.

Sometimes the wise old ways of the elders are the best.
