Why is the UK so pathetic?

[schneiderguy]

Their technology isn't advanced enough to paint lane markings in a straight line, and their economy is so weak that people still ride horses because they can't afford a car :|

 

[Mr. Pedantic]

"Retard" isn't a strong enough word for schneiderguy's level of retardation.

I bet that horseman's a manlet. Probably needs the horse to make him bigger in more than one dimension.

The squiggly lane markings are something people always LOL and WTF at...typically in jest, acknowledging that surely there is an actual purpose to that.

...but I just realized that I've never heard one. Ever. I would think someone would at least make something up.

I'm just gonna assume it's a 'go fuck yourselves, cyclists' lane.

This. Liberal NYC is so poor their cops need to ride horses too. :hmm:

 

[BoomerD]

Obviously, because you're not there, Schnidey...you should move there immediately to fix their problem.

The Police screw with drunks by using those lines as roadside sobriety tests... :awe:

Or maybe they just don't want to do any paperwork?

 

[HeXen]

Don't they also drive on the wrong side of the road and from the wrong side of the car?

Well.. Technically, they do indeed sit on the Right side of the car.

(Lived in Japan for a long while and personally, I'm much more comfortable shifting with my left hand and driving with my right than the other way around.)

 

[olds]

So they can breed neckbeards.

 

[Exterous]

Because they shipped all their awesome to the USA

 

[SandEagle]

i found the people in the UK to be quite hospitable. its not so bad.

one weird thing i saw in the UK was the way some of the bathrooms were laid out. they'd have the toilet in a room by itself. and the sink and shower in a completely different room. highly inconvenient (and nasty).

So in other words you got used to doing it wrong. :biggrin:

You're entitled to your opinion, of course. But for sure, it was much harder getting used to driving on the right again when I returned to the US than it ever was learning the other way.

Brits appear to be afflicted with junk autos. You see them tooling around in their gutless wonders with all the build quality of a '90s Geo Metro.

Sort of makes you feel sorry for them, and grateful for the US simultaneously.

i used to think that too. but the reality is that there is a lot of traffic, small spots to drive through, roundabouts and other things that would freak out the average american driver. they probably just don't care about image as we do. i remember being in the car with a friend in the UK and he sideswiped someone's mirror in busy traffic. no real damage, just some scratches. they each just waved at each other and kept on their way. wtf? here, you'd get your ass stomped or shot for that.
