Thoughts on... stupid road signs.

'DEBRIS ON ROAD.'
All very well and good, if you can tell that that`s what it says. The 'R' looks like a 'B', and the 'B' and 'D' look like an 'O's. By the time you`ve distinguished that 'OEOBIS ON BOAO' is what the sign says, translated that from Latin, and realised it can`t have -actually- said 'OEOBIS ON BOAO' you got the said Oeobis stuck in you engine. 'CRAP AHEAD' would be much more effective.

'ONCOMING VECHILE.'
On a motorway. I found it slightly disturbing to be honest. At high speed? How big? It is a threat? Or a drunk?

'THIS SIGN IS NOT IN USE.'
I guess the highway council were being warned about un-employment risks and had to make extra jobs? Or do they have really bad apprentices? Well, I suppose making completely useless signs is a good way to burn money and test the printer.

'TIREDNESS KILLS - TAKE A BREAK.'
Or watch the road instead of reading this sign. Your choice.

'PEDESTRIANS DO NOT CROSS HERE.'
I`m in car. Why would I care?

'NO PARKING HERE AT ANY TIME, EXPECT 8PM - 8AM.'
Basically, park here. Unless it`s convenient, it which case you can`t. Cause we`re the council and mean like dat. And make stupid signs. xD

Thoughts on... people who read in the middle of a meal.

It`s a meal. A family meal. Don`t read. It`s pretty much the only only time in the whole day all of us can tear ourselves away from the computer screen at one moment, so must we read? It should be a time to do stuff together, even if that is me just listening about how to fix a Freeview box or the latest kind of pest found in the garden. Or even if it`s just people listening to me whinge about how much I hate cabbage. Or just sitting in a happy awkward silence. We should be doing something together before we return to the self-same thing we were doing before we stopped doing stuff to eat and read. Plus, I don`t read that much, so I just feel left out if I have nothing to do or no-one to talk to or make awkward silence with. If you like to read, should I just Facebook? xD

Thoughts on... people who don`t text back!

Infuriating. In a word. Yes, fine of you don`t have any credit. Yes, fine if you`ve had some sort of texting ban from your network. Yes, fine if the conversation dies. But just suddenly deciding to not text back? No. Middle of a conversation, and don`t even pull 'I ran out of credit' on me, when I know you have unlimited texts. Granted, the excuses 'I lost signal' and 'My phone ran out of battery' are always good ones if you don`t like the person talking to you. And on Facebook, by putting up a status 'Sorry of I don`t answer on chat, chat broke.' then telling the nice people, that in fact it didn`t, is another way of avoiding awkward conversations. Thank fully msn has adapted itself for the people out there, like me, who want to see who`s online before they commit to being online themselves. Thank you, "Appear offline."
But honestly, if you don`t want to talk to me, just reply with 'Sorry, your boring.' or, 'I have better things to do, find a traffic jam to sit in, or rearrange my sock drawer.' because if you`re going to stop texting, you may as well do it humourously. Bah. xD
