@JR8 you should you see the comedy that unfolds in front of my house everyday. Basically the road is a dead end, many drivers come along looking for parking and then discover the dead end, now there are two options here.
1. option 1: drive ahead a bit more and one will discover a gate on the left along with a bit of space for a car to nose in , back out a bit, straighten up and then drive out of the dead end.
2. option 2: drive in reverse for about 75m
97% of people choose option 2, at which point another guy looking for parking comes along, sees the car coming at him in reverse and then honks.
so reversing car stops reversing and moves forward, car behind him follows ahead. Third car comes along, car 1 wants out, car 2 is now stuck, car 3 thinks there is parking
meanwhile I am sipping coffee and a biscuit in it and watching the fun.

I can show you, when you set auto correct to aggressive, it does amazing word replacements ..nakatago wrote:Spell checkers don't correct grammar!ecureilx wrote:The spell check on my tablet insists it is break not brake .....rajagainstthemachine wrote:@squirrel my inner body spell check says you should use brake instead of break.

Those, plus lack of basic spatial awareness, whether driving or walking or standing, due either to kiasu or basic inability. Or both.JR8 wrote:Competitive inter-vehicle ego + lousy eyesight.
