I blame either @ynot or @yuggy - whichever one it is!

I’d like to implement a rule that nobody’s allowed to ask the other for help until they’ve spent five minutes trying to solve it themselves.

Enforcement might be difficult.

You can literally find an answer or method to solving any problem by using the internet and searching on Google, why people ask others for help is beyond me.

That’s the trick for remembering how to make the sign of the cross for a blessing :+1:

taxi drivers in Brighton are crazy bad for this - don’t even make any effort to pull over a bit (on narrowish roads with parked cars on both sides)

No thank you!

I lost the remote control for my kitchen speakers a few months back. Ended up going through the bin and everything. Gave up and ordered a replacement which took ages to come and cost £20

I cleaned the fridge on Saturday - the lost remote was tucked in one of the shelves in the door, behind the dijon mustard.

More than anything else this exposes how little I clean the fridge

I don’t know if this is a legit people who but think it might be. People who are seated on a crowded train where people are standing, when after the train stops at a major disembarking stop are too quick to reconfigure and take up the remaining space (eg 2 people leave a 4 seat grouping, one of the two remaining switch sides so they are not sitting next to someone, but it’s completely pointless as one of the people standing will now sit next to them, they’ve created no benefit they’ve just made it more awkward for the people standing to claim a seat they’ve longed for). I dunno, think this is a people who

People who park on the pavement and force pedestrians to risk their lives walking into the road.

A man on the bus this morning was playing a video game on his phone. With the sound on. No earphones. Everyone else just listening to the sound of his video game. Saying nothing. I put my own earphones in and ignored him of course. But he’s still a twat.

I find aisles stressful so will always move to a window seat if one becomes available
(probs not if there’s already someone opposite it though as i’d be too embarrassed)

People who overtake in 30 limits into oncoming traffic, jfc mate

I think that is fine as you are not making seats less accessible, I’m talking about when there are two people say next to each other and one swaps to the other side (in your scenario you wouldn’t swap if already by a window, and aisle to window is a neutral move), even though there are people hovering who want to sit.

I realise this may contradict my long held controversial ‘people who sit in the aisle when the window seat is free are fine and not people who’ position, but train etiquette is complex.

What makes this different, is that the awkwardness of asking to get by and sitting next to people is already a sunk cost, if they just stay put after people disembark it will be easy for the new people to take a seat without having to suffer that awkwardness, but instead the already have a seat privilege people take a gamble and spread out in the hopes they will have more comfort (or as the cynic in me suspects, a deliberate attempt to dissuade would be co-sitters), but inevitably the long suffering standing uppers are going to sit down, cancelling out the momentary gain of the sitter downers, but it’s more difficult that it needs to be. Think it’s fine to reconfigure after people disembark but there should be a reasonable window of time to let the stander uppers stake a claim

Sometimes wonder in the unlikely event that I had a kid whether I’d talk enough for them to learn to speak

Basically I think people who have been standing should get first dibs on newly freed up train seats

The woman on the bus will only teach her kid how to talk like an imbecile though.
