You know what really grinds my gears?

On deal or no deal, when the banker repeatedly makes a fool out of the contestant throughout the show then, at the end when they end up with 1p and are crying or whatever, he praises them for their bravery and how well they played.

when the weather forecast says there will be scattered showers. How do you know if you are in a scattered area?

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

Definitely slows me down too. Sometimes you're driving in the comfort zone and those car signs can make you pay that wee bit more attention to your actual driving.

Never driving through Tyrone again

It is not simply an issue with going too fast (although there are times all of us have done it - show me someone who says they have never driven too fast, and I will show you a liar).

If even one of those signs manages to prevent an accident (wether you agree with the rationale or not) then I can't see why they are a gear grinder (no pun intended).


Driving through the school zones here in the US  - which are a mandatory 15mph zone at times irritates the shite out of me - but if it saves the life of one child it is worth it.

so he says How are you doing? Wow, hes not wise that mate of yours...

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??? 

actually wondered the very same thing the other day, whats the point of them. do they think people are less likely to crash into them if they have a sticker up??

Yup, absolutely pointless

[mountainboii]

That Budweiser 'sounds of the summer' ad on the radio with people shivering their way through Surfin' USA and some shite song from Grease. Creeps me the f**k out.

Ok, why not put up a "Slow The Fcuk Down" sign then or "I May Veer Out Suddenly"? Sorry, I just don't get why people put them up or adjust their driving on seeing them. Are the rest of us who don't display them more in danger of being rear ended???

Seems that way if they have the effect stated here. I think I'll get one. Maybe I'll put one up saying "triplets on board". That should make me three times safer.

i agree, if them people were out working they wouldn't have as many kids. Government should make them work for their benifits

[Sandino]

People who have Baby on Board, little Cuttie on Board etc who have no impact on the way i drive but they themselves drive like fecking idiots. the number of times that I have been cut up by young mother with a Baby on Board sticker makes me seeth

[whatsinaname]

People, people, people, BABY ON BOARD signs are not about adjusting how other drivers, drive behind them, it is a self congratulatory salute on their ability to procreate and a way of letting the rest of the world know.  However what they fail to realise is that they haven't done anything extraordinary or outstanding, even their own parents achieved this feat.  In fact humankind have been doing it for millennia, as well as animals, plants microorganisms, in fact all life on this little planet.  So next time you see such signs, have a chuckle and think of the poor child to have such dunderheads as parents.
