People 11:32 - Sep 13 with 9290 views | BrixtonBlue | 1. Able-bodied people who get a lift to the first floor. Lazy barstewards. Very often fat, and this is one of the reasons why. You've also slowed down my journey to the 4th floor with your laziness. 2. Slow walkers - particularly those who are slow because they're looking down, tapping away at their phone. Can you not leave that thing alone for 5 minutes while you walk along the street? Sometimes I feel like grabbing it and throwing it on the floor. 3. Cars that are waiting to join a main road... but stick out into it a bit, forcing me to cycle round them (and potentially into traffic). Fookers. Wait until there's a gap. 4. People who send me emails saying they want to "reach out" to me. Are you drowning? If not, fook off. 5. Pedestrians. Especially the ones who can't grasp the concept of a red man. It means don't walk in the road, fookwit. | |

There are a lot of plonkers who can't. | |

People on 13:22 - Sep 13 by BrixtonBlue | You can have an up arrow for the first bit. But why should I stop and wait if I'm on the main road and therefore have right of way? Sorry, but that's selfish driving. And potentially dangerous. You wait until it's safe to pull out. |
Nope, its a well-established unofficial law of the road. Cyclists have to obey the law too you know? Those cycle super-highways have made this manoeuvre quite tricky on some roads, so do keep your eyes peeled mr. | |

People on 13:17 - Sep 13 by BrixtonBlue | Again, you're taking things way too personal. I obviously don't mean people with genuine health problems. I changed my OP before I posted to add able-bodied because I knew someone would jump on it. I clearly mean people who are seen to be walking absolutely fine... but I do appreciate that not in 100% of cases will this mean they are fine to take a few stairs. You have to admit, surely, that in MOST cases it is just laziness? Can you really not take the OP in the spirit it was intended, whilst knowing by now (I'd hope) that I'm not a vindictive sort who would look to attack people with problems? I was trying to have a bit of fun (and no, not at yours or anyone else's expense) and you've basically ruined that vibe. |

a) "I obviously don't mean people with genuine health problems" Clearly it wasn't obvious to several people b) "but I do appreciate that not in 100% of cases will this mean they are fine to take a few stairs." It would have saved a heap of trouble & time if you'd said that in your OP c) "You have to admit, surely, that in MOST cases it is just laziness?" No I don't, because I don't know those people, let alone how their health is. d) "Can you really not take the OP in the spirit it was intended" I'll make an assumption of my own here and say as I did earlier that if you had a hidden disability yourself, you really wouldn't make generalising jokes about it which might help normalise & therefore contribute to the problems people with such disabilities experience in real life. Sorry for "ruining your vibe" Edit: And J2 was absolutely correct in asking me "I think this what you meant?" in his 13.00hrs post on p3 (which he showed a sticker on a disabled toilet door saying "don't judge peoples disabilities by their appearance") - so why did you downvote his post there?

I am?! the little nudge out of a side road to stop traffic when you're looking to pull into a main road right? | |

People on 13:00 - Sep 13 by Kievthegreat | If you sweat profusely after walking up 4 flights if stairs I think you need to get on your bike more. I'm horrendously unfit but I'd never break a sweat walking upstairs. Also just so we're clear, you hate people that use stairs when there is a lift, but also people who get a lift when there are stairs they could use instead? |
People who assume that people who are sweating are unfit. I am pretty fit, my fitbit tells me that I am one of the fitter people in my age bracket, though I suppose it could just be flattering me, but by crikey do I work up a sweat quickly. | |

I do obey the ACTUAL laws of the road. I don't obey the one you just made up! There's absolutely NO "well-established unofficial law" that you just pull out when you feel like it and sod everyone else! | |

People on 12:51 - Sep 13 by BrixtonBlue | You're being argumentative for the sake of it, and taking things personally (as usual). I thought you had me on ignore anyway? You KNOW, in MOST cases, if someone walks out of a lift and across the corridor and into the office walking absolutely fine, without so much as a limp, they are almost certainly fine to walk up 5 stairs. |

'sod everyone else' - you've got it!! It actually works very well as an established law of the road, *as long as cyclists obey too*. [taps nose] | |

Wow, an up-arrow from Ryorry. So R, my post that wasn't intending to attack people you've taken great offence to, but this one suggesting "sod everyone else" as a legitimate way to drive, you approve of? Right. | |
