An Inanimate Object I Hate

Well, as a pedestrian, I see things from a different viewpoint from a driver. Near where I live, there is a combined roundabout and a pedestrian crossing. Believe me, the safest thing to do is wait patiently until the road is free of traffic before crossing. I think drivers have too many things to think about and they get confused.

There was a question column in the local newspaper that once asked, "What do you think about while driving?" I answered, "Driving!"

'Give way to the right' seems to confuse many people, resulting in collisions.

The reason I had trouble with roundabouts when we first got them is that here in the States, the person coming from your *left* in the roundabout has the right of way. Welp, also here in the States I was always taught before we got roundabouts is that at an intersection, if 2 cars arrived at the same time, the car on the *right* got to go ahead first. So after years of driving and letting cars to the right go first, all of a sudden with these roundabouts, now it's the driver to my *left* I give right of way to...right, left, wait WTH?
 

I love this world and just about everything in it except I've never been crazy about child proof caps. Kids can open the anyway but the adult with arthritis - OUCH. :oops: I never thought about masks either but since last April I've learned to despise the very sight of them.

:mad:I hate the impossible spray can push till it sprays....
my hands are too weak, and it is impossible to get
a substitute for those.........
 
I hate any kind of electrical cord or wiring that connects a device to another device or a power source.

They are the bane of my existence!!!!!! 🤬

I forgot about those! I have a hard time opening so many things. I even have a hard time pulling the little plastic piece that seals it under the cap. Always stabbing them with a knife like a crazed woman!

Anyone for a really insane roundabout that is a series of roundabouts within a roundabout?


It apparently works, - very well, in fact.

Yes it does, I've driven around it many times, and it's not the only one like that in England, there's one very similar a few towns from here which is even more difficult because the middle is obscured by trees and shrubs..and on some parts of it we have to give way to the oppostie direction and with traffic lights on it all the way around , yet there are very few accidents on it.
