Dog walkers who faff.
Case in point: taking my dog for a brisk walk during my lunch break so not hanging around. We’re catching a couple with two dogs where a road goes into a path.
I was happy to slow up a bit, and was going to divert to the bin to deposit a poo bag so we didn’t catch them but they stopped. And started faffing. So we ploughed on, caught them and quickly passed them.
Just as we got ahead they started up again. One of their dogs (off the lead) caught mine and was yapping. Now he’s soft as anything and would stop, play etc. but we haven’t got time for that.
Eventually decided to turn back and go another route because we’d get nowhere.

Our Westie was slow as a puppy, as he likes a good sniff, and now he is 14 he is even slower. In a local park we have been overtaken by people in wheelchairs, on crutches, using walking frames, a blind lady - basically everyone. If I see another dog walker catching us up, I will keep him on a tight lead and move out of the way. Most of the locals know us by now though and expect us to be meandering along in our own time. the-norseman said:
A guy I follow on Instagram, hes had his Audi RS6 robbed overnight
The misuse of words with specific meanings. Robbery - a theft offence involving dishonesty and with the use of, or threat of, violence.One can't rob a car because it has no concept of threat to itself. Well, not until it has a self-aware AI personality. Likewise, Dave can't have 'robbed' a Mars Bar from the tea bar.
In that case it sounds like burglary ( trespass with intent to commit theft, GBH or criminal damage ) and taking a vehicle without consent.

It must be hard to sack an aircrew member in the middle of a flight. You can't exactly escort them off the premises!
Depends on the aircraft, on early 727's you could open the rear door in flight. Interestingly the modification that prevents that now is called the "Cooper vane" after DB Cooper who jumped out of one.
