You know what really grinds my gears?

[Eamonnca1]

People who misidentify perfectly acceptable UK/Ireland English words as Americanisms, or worse, "Anericanisms."

Example?

[ONeill]

1 - Joggers running on the road beside the pavement.

2 - Joggers running along country roads with no pavements with headphones on.

People who use Anerican terms.

Where's the American terms in there?

Pavement you tool

The American term is sidewalk, the Irish/British term is pavement.

The Irish term is footpath. Them crumby yanks use the word pavement for the street

And the Irish use the term footpath or pavement for the bit beside the street that you walk on.

Never heard pavement used in Tyrone.

Away til fcuk. Used it all the time.

I've heard pavement here, meaning the path. In the states pavement is for the road itself, and sidewalk is for the path. At this stage I can't remember what context the OP was castigated for

'Accidents' on the Westlink.

People who use the Applegreen Stations to bypass traffic.

I have to say they really need to introduce motorway driving onto the driving test, how f**king hard is it to leave your phone be and keep a safe distance from the car in front without driving into the back of some ****. And then we have everyone nosey **** slowing down to have a look after they stand outside their cars with their two arms at one length blocking a carriage way instead of at least moving onto the hard shoulder. Right enough like motorways are the roads that require the least "driving" yet there were at least three collisions on the M1 today

Oh, I hear ya!

It's really frustrating.  Can't get over the amount of accidents on the M1/Westlink.  Unless the damage is serious, just move your fcuken car out of the road!  Then their are the idiots who constantly weave in and out of lanes.

[Therealdonald]

Letting someone out in front of you, or letting someone cross the road where there's no zebra crossing, then the bastids don't put the hand up.

I've a simpler solution.

Tax corporate parking at £10k pa, make the leasing of private housing parking spaces illegal, plus during the working week set a sliding scale whereby parking for more than 4 hours in one car park costs at least £50, and set a minimum fine of £200 for anyone who uses the same off-street parking zone twice in one day.

Then watch while everyone leaves their car at home.

The Westlink may as well be a tunnel though as there is little to no room to manoeuvre if there is a crash. Agree with motorway drivers here. Everybody treats the outside lane as the "fast lane" instead of overtaking and moving back inside. That combined with driving 10 foot from the car in front is a recipe for disaster.
