A fella has been reported stalking a woman every morning
The brute has been getting off the same bus each morning and walking behind the woman towards her work where he “turns off to hide”
Some normal sounding bloke pops up “ if it’s a bloke with a red coat, carrying a black bag and a cap, it’s me. I’m on the same bus as you and walk to my job after getting off the bus, I’m happy to make an effort to get off the bus before you if it puts your mind at rest”
Cue lots of Huns and the original Karen saying “yeah that’s him” etc etc etc
Apparently he’s been doing it everyday since the woman started her new routine
Scary stuff really
Behold, the climate of fear that current political leanings seem determined to cultivate. Kudos to the bloke for being happy to identify himself, probably have a visit from the fuzz now!

Ha ha! My mate used to live down a road opposite a train station. Of course, people would park down there to avoid the car park charge. He used to go mad about people parking outside his house. No matter how many times I told it was a public road, he wouldn't listen. SpidersWeb said:

No matter how many times I told it was a public road, he wouldn't listen. In my town an unknown resident in one of the streets near the station decided they didn't want commuters parking there.
They didn't bother putting any 'do not park here' notes on the commuter's cars, they simply put a screwdriver through a body panel, or slashed the tyres, or poured paint-stripper over it.
Lots of shouting about it on FB about how it was legal to park as it was a 'public road', but people quickly stopped parking there and even a decade on that particular street is empty of commuter cars.

Would that not increase insurance premiums for the locals? Folk with damaged cars would claim on their insurance, the area/street the damage took place would have an increase in claims showing it as a high risk area?
Would it?The people with the damaged cars don't live in that street, or even nearby, and many lived up to 15 or 20 miles away.
For it to increase a car insurance premium your insurance company would need to ask you where you parked your car during the day, and all the insurance quotes I have filled in have simply asked 'home, street, public carpark, or secure car park' not which exact street if you parked on the street.
It would obviously increase the premium of the people who had their car damaged, but that wouldn't impact the person who was vandalising the cars, and that is assuming that the vandal even owned a car.

With goods outside for sale via an honesty box, I think, unfortunately, you have to budget for a certain amount of shrinkage.One of the regulars doesn’t seem to pay, I have no idea why!
I’ll wait for a biter

I suppose it could well be legit, but I can imagine it raises a few questions. Should the police be taking personal photos of people they are prosecuting/fining then sharing them anonymously on a public Facebook group.
Maybe that’s all perfectly legit, but feels a bit off. Even if tailgating fuel tanker drivers might deserve it!
Given that they seem to be allowed to film your arrest for national TV whether you like it or not, going by the endless docu-series being constantly pumped out, I assume they’re also allowed to take selfies for their “socials” in the same way?!Maybe that’s all perfectly legit, but feels a bit off. Even if tailgating fuel tanker drivers might deserve it!

Instead they're just marking themselves out as uneducated bellends who don't understand grammar. I see it a lot at work - people seem allergic to the object pronouns of me, you, us etc., and use the (incorrect) reflexive ones instead.
I also have an irrational irritation for people who use 'momentarily' when they instead mean 'in a moment'
Such Americanisms unfortunately seem to be creeping in amongst our younder readers. One recent post by a newish member had so much that some assumed he was American.I also have an irrational irritation for people who use 'momentarily' when they instead mean 'in a moment'

Very unexpected answer to the familiar question of “what was that helicopter?” this weekend.
Was not expecting the answer to be “Tom Cruise filming mission impossible” but it was!
Helicopter and two planes apparently. Fascinating.
He’s not making another one, surely?! Was not expecting the answer to be “Tom Cruise filming mission impossible” but it was!

Hun.
