Every single person that has spent their day moaning on Twitter, FB & Insta about how their lives have been completely ruined by KFC fking up their distribution and closing hundreds of stores as a result, making it sound as though they're going to starve to death without it.

Also attached to this are all the bloody news outlets that have been constantly reporting on it too - including outlets like Sky who have actually been out interviewing people about their "emotional hardship".

A KFC in town put a sign on the door listing what items were currently unavailable.

They then had to change the sign to clarify what "unavailable" meant.

I'm not one to criticise parenting, it's hard work and we all make mistakes, went to Asda (no idea why, it's right next to Sainsbury's), looking for a space, and spot a mum loading the boot while talking on the phone, her young son (about 3) was playing behind the car.
Luckily I was expecting the child to be unpredictable, as I was passing this car the child ran in front of me, had to come to a sharp stop, and caused a gasp from onlookers.

Here's why this made me think knob, the mum clearly had no idea what had just happened, no idea that if I hadn't already slowed down and was ready to stop it may have had tragic consequences.

My children are in their teens now, but at that age I used to strap them in and then put the shopping in the boot, just seemed safer. .
Well, you did exactly the right thing but what really boils my blood is people who drive through supermarket car parks far too fast to be able to stop if anything like this were to happen.

That must have been one hell of a gasp for you to hear it across a car park whilst sat in a car with the engine running... biggrin

But yes, "mum" was a knob and no doubt you/the Supermarket/everybody else would have been responsible for her lack of parenting skills....

The blonde orange woman who came to an almost complete standstill in lane 2 of the fast flowing M4 yesterday as she almost missed her exit and there were 2 lorries alongside her car in lane 1. She almost caused a multi car pile up and seemed completely oblivious as she crossed lane 1 then the hatchings and almost took our more cars that were driving down the slip road at speed.

No KFC??
That’s a poverty line item right there. Not having it is a breach of human their rights.

Earrings that stretch the ear lobes, like those worn by African tribesmen. Unless the wearer is, in fact, an African tribesman, he is a knob.

This morning Half 7

Group of "people" with a horse and what I presume is some kind of racing cart.

Outside lane of the A3!! Horse is going flat out but lets assume less than 40!

Being shielded by a Mitsubishi Shogun in Lane 2 (very shiny it was too) and a Discovery with the horse box. Directly behind in L3

Everyone being forced into L1 to pass this entourage


No point in calling the Police, they'd never actually confiscate anything or fine these individuals.... rolleyes

KNOBS!

People who describe a car as a "weapon" in respect to how quick or fast it is.

The fat lump driving a Vito in the middle lane of the M27 heading towards Portsmouth this morning, sat in the middle lane at 65mph forcing everyone to go round him and causing chaos without a care in the world, complete knob!!!!

The fat balding skinhead in a black Mondeo the other day who failed to grasp the concept of a merge in turn. Plenty of gesticulating, shouting and pointing at his dash cam, achieved nothing but made him look like a complete knob of the highest order.

On the flip side, a different merge in turn earlier in the day where the M5 southbound goes down to a single lane for roadworks in Brum at the moment, I saw the perfect line of cars achieving merge in turn. It worked like an absolutely perfect zip motion, at the last sign - 200 yards to merge - all the traffic was moving smoothly and perfectly in position ready for the "zip", it worked like an absolute treat come the cones.

Indeed!

I swear the awful sh*te served up by kfc and macs contains some sort of narcotic. That causes some form of addiction and keeps 'em coming back.
As far as kfc is concerned, I guess that people find it hard to eat any sort of food that isn't served in a bucket?

Apparently nobody in actual Kentucky was bothered.

I'm curious. Were there 'Merge in Turn' signs in addition to the usual ' 200 yards' etc.?
