Tony Jones is a complete moron. How does he keep getting a gig? Who could ever forget this?

His lack of social awareness is quite incredible really

Hooligans at the tennis

Whenever I hear rhe word hooligans my mind goes to hundreds of opposing soccer supporters going hell for leather at each other. The video just seems a small scuffle involving a handful of people.

Nah. If you see controlling or abusive behaviour it needs to be called out.

So if you saw a couple having an argument in public and perceived either of their behaviour to be controlling or abusive you'd get involved? I wouldn't.

Hmmm cant say I definitely would but if I did it would be more towards a male aggressor

I did have an intrusive thought to go to him and say I feel for you bro. But.....

In context to my original post I was rather pragmatic about it. I didnt take sides but saw a dynamic that was interesting and intended to drive a discussion on what people thought about it.i pointed out both sides of the coin.

Further, theres a huge difference as explained by Phantom that I didnt openly discuss this amongst friends or colleagies, or on facebook etc but in an anonymous forum. I thought thats what we do here.

That's probably natural i guess. But geez I'd be very hesitant to intervene in a strange couple arguing, they'd probably both tell you to **** off. I guess if one was being physical to the other maybe, would depend on a lot of things.

Absolutely and I'm not knocking you for that, was just giving my view on the situation generally.

Imagine being such a dickhead people are actually supporting Djokovic in this case.

Second part was to other posters. Sometimes i think people forget thisbis an anonymous forum where we discuss lots of shit in a relatively safe space.

What if i started a thread "things you say to other drivers" the shit I say is downright wild

Thank Christ I drive around in the cone of silence, I’m terrible at keeping my thoughts of other drivers behaviour to myself

A lot of shit I say is definitely frowned upon

YOu have a green arrow you usless ****ing campaigner. Two business days later you finally decide to move. I have to deal with these ******s every ****ing intersection.

My intrusive thoughts are a whole new thing.

if Chompers doesnt get fired for pissing of the best tennis player of all time (he is, i dont like him either, but we gotta accept what hes achieved) then he should for being so ****ing wildly unfunny and of poor judgement.

He's pretty much the embodiment of the "OK, Boomer" trope for me. With an ego that wouldn't fit in the Grand Canyon just for good measure. What a campaigner.

i echo your thoughts. so many times ive seen drivers meandering in the right lane. I in the left, and get around them to turn right into a street/road. They veer into the left lane, and then right in front of me back into the right. And continue meanderation.

EVery city drive i chill in the left lane knowing these idiots make no meaningful gains.

Driving got worst since covid...

Coming back home the other day .
I turning right was in the silp lane..Van a head of me..
I noticed a truck wanting to turn right into the highway facing a stop sign.
The van goes you can go to the truck.
Then the truck blocks both right lanes on each side of the highway...

This was fine meme.

I’ve been saying the covid thing for a while, most people disagree with me.

Me too .

People forget basic rules .

People on phones behide the wheel..

Endless list really.


Like you meant to give way to everyone when doing a U turn.
Then they get really grumpy at you.

I think the other big one is people have lost all sense of road awareness.

Trying to merge onto Freeways at 50/60kmh, inability to merge or let merge etc. I dont know if it was just people getting used to quiet road or what but that stuff is appalling now.

Fair.

I see lots of cars stop at round a bouts with no other cars around.

Some cars drive 10k under in 100/110 limit.

Yet 10 over in 60 limit ..

 

[GreyCrow]

You dont forget how to drive

Its sheer arrogance and laziness that causes drivers to be inconsiderate

Absolutely love this. I get perma banned if my thoughts whilst driving were written here. How do you handle people that speed up at overtaking lanes then slow down to 95 once they're clear of them?
