You know what really grinds my gears?

People who use the word Irony and clearly don't understand the meaning of the word.

Slightly off a tangent, and it didn't grind my gears at all, but semi related to Treas' post. My English cousin (RC) was over one time when we were about 12 or so. She went up to receive communion, and when the priest says 'Body of Christ', she answers 'Thanks' I nearly split myself.

On a similar vein my mad friend (everyone has one mad friend, you know the lad who says stuff he shouldn't, knows everyone he passes on the street and always has a completely unbelievable story to tell) was playing a game of pool in New Jersey years ago against some Yank. Myself & another fella were sitting nearby filling in a couple of young ones some of his exploits over the years. Then at the end of the game as was custom over there he walks over to the yank to offer his congratulations at winning the pool game and comes out with "How are you doing?". My pint went everywhere...

Speaks before he thinks. On graduating from college he sent a CV to Carhouse Warephone...

Anyways back on topic track (see Mod3 has the finger over the red button) those fecking Baby On Board car stickers. WHY? Is your life not worth as much as your childs? What do these people who put up these sticker think they achieve???

They slow me down a little when I come up behind a car that is displaying one.

Why? Is a baby's life more valuable than an adults? Now if the sticker said "Woman driving" it would be much more effective...

Not sure what the psychology behind it is - but it makes me slow down a bit undoubtedly.

Then you must be going too fast to begin with

[Celt_Man]

Can't see the point of those signs...

"oh right, well I was planning on crashing into the back of you but I saw that Baby on Board sign now I won't bother..."
