Why is it that they put re-sealable tabs on packets of pasta, but make it impossible to open them? Generally pasta explodes all over the kitchen making re-sealing the packet impossible.

Why is it that 4x4 drivers drive faster in the snow than they normally do and put other drivers at risk?

I was thinking the same about pasta just the other day, ours goes in a big glass jar anyway (how domesticated am I).

Why is it that people without kids park in the parent and child parking. And when I call them a wanker they take offence?

Im sorry Ben but why the FUCK is there a Parent and child Car park space ? the world did not force you to have kid, nor was kids forced upon you like some sort of disablement , so why the hell should somebody with kid get priority over some one else, you chose to have the kids SO DEAL WITH THE INCONVENIENCE !!

Rant over :)

Why is it that people don't have common sense anymore? It seems people are only interested in themselves and not the world around them or the effect of their actions. Ignorance is bliss.

Wanker. All I can say is that when you have kids, which seams unlikely, you might understand. I agree that the spaces do not need to right next to the entrance, but that is as good a places as any. It is the wide spaces that is important. Try getting a kid in or out in a tight space and you will understand, possible but an added hassle. Yes I did choose to have kids, but as a species we need to procreate, in fact you could argue that it is our only real purpose, so it was not a choice really it was an obligation to mankind. And keeping people with helpful attitudes to his fellow man, like you from poluting the gene pool can only be a good thing, no offence.

There should be more wider spaces... I hate it when kids are allowed to get in on their own crashing the car door into mine...
I think spaces are too small in general, I do love going to Cost-co who have American size spaces.

No Offence taken what so ever you in fact are spot on I do have a very helpful attitude towards fellow man, I just finished a fourteen week fundraising gig for the Harlds Cross Hospice (care home for the terminally I'll) which has raised 4K for them, last year I done the same and raised roughly the same for Concern :)

It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who can't open a packet of pasta without chucking it all over the place.

In all fairness wolfie I do see your point here but you have to wonder, if common scene was brought into it, then wouldn't the common scene approach be if you cant manage to get your kids out of a normal car with out smashing every other car in the vicinity then may that person should get an SUV with sliding doors !

why do i need a sign on the motorway saying "FOG" i know its foggy i can see it.
why when its slightly foggy do people put there fog lights on, if you can see the cars infront easy enough what makes you think you need to blind the driver behind.

how come i know of quite a few perfectly healthy people who get car under motorbility for there so called ill relatives!! i have to buy my cars so go buy your own.
