    I did vaguely remember it, but couldn't place it.

    Things that annoy me: people who honk for longer than the light has been green.

    Why it shouldn't: they then don't even drive the speed limit when traffic is moving. They go slower.

    How are you gonna honk at me and then not go anywhere, ya fucknut? Come on, now.

    People playing music in their cars so loudly I can hear it several yards away. Why? Your car has a radio. Wow. So do 90% of all cars made after 1980. It's not impressive anymore. What point are you trying to prove? You like music? And? Just because like your drum and bass, Little Mix or shite rap music doesn't mean everyone else does.

    Sitting at the lights quietly making a mental note of the things I've done this morning and the things still needing done. The sun is out and people look happy to be alive.

    Then out of nowhere while waiting for the lights to turn green, I randomly sing. '' I'd rather have a bowl of coco pops!''

    Now, I've never consumed coco pops, I was a Frosties kid. But if there was ever proof of the power of advertising that's it right there. I feel like this is the mental equivalent of waking up at night to find a naked rambler legging over your garden fence after he's help himself to the contents of your fridge.

    Most of us don't give a fat rat's ass about what the Twitterverse thinks about anything.

    I'm disappointed they didn't show the stereo setup. That's an insane amount of power.

    My analysis of this is that they do it not to show how loud their speakers can go, but because they want others to hear (and maybe react) to their choice in music.

    I think it's mostly because people like loud music.

    if its too loud, you're too old :D

    that aside ive seen some of these barry boy pillocks argue that they have their speakers pointing downward because the sonic effect provides lift thus making the car go faster... these dicks did not stay awake during physics at school

    The fact of forgetting, particularly in reference to books. It's painful looking back at books from only a couple of years ago and having almost no connection to them other than vague lingering imagery...

    It's not, 'the proof is in the pudding'. It's, 'the proof of the pudding is in the eating'.

    My phone's text-prediction feature seems to be going through a rebellion, often deciding I didn't want to say [this], I wanted to say [that]. The bizarre thing is, 99.9% of the time the word it decides I wanted to type makes absolutely no sense contextually.

    List of dead words - dead, bone dry, pages from a dictionary that count as an archaeological site - offered up as though they were treasures.
