Melanius Mullarkey Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 The wee escalators in the Overgate in Dundee near Clinton Cards. They're the wrong way round. The one on the right goes up where it should be the one on the left. Must be a switch somewhere to change direction. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takes an age for them to get dried as they usually don't wanna stop swimming. So instead they usually like to fight each other or take their time getting changed. This does result in me telling them every few minutes to get a move on. My oldest sometimes acts up before he goes for a swim , especially if his brother is going swimming also and distracts his routine . Family fun :-) Oh I know how you can need to crack the whip with kids but there's this strange Edinburgh middle-class culture of not disciplining your kids, baby-talking them constantly and/or letting them run wild without having any recognition that their behaviour may be getting on the wick of others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just Embra. I constantly see parents letting their kids be wee shites and not doing a thing. I do have sympathy though. I usually keep mine relatively controlled, but if they are determined to be bad i have been known to give up and let them go feral. I may even join in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the shopping mall I go to, the right escalators go up and the left down. Then again, they also drive on the right here so that backs up your point.

Shandon Par Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Missus texted me to say she'd been driving in Glasgow earlier, made a lane mistake, waved to apologise profusely to the person and had to face some bloke going ape, screaming at her etc. Where do guys get off on thinking it's acceptable to scream and bawl at women (or other guys) in this situation? You wouldn't behave like that if you were in the street and someone stepped in front of you. Like the Carragher thread, some folk just seem to turn into total dicks behind the wheel (yes, yes, whilst others are dicks all the time!). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness though, have posted about this before but I cant get my head around the whole road rage thing. Really odd behaviour, but can turn quite sinister in scenarios like the above.

Not that I agree with the behaviour of the lad, especially if your wife apologised, but in fairness, if someone stepped in front of you in the street they're not putting you in risk of doing several thousands pounds of damage to your body. It's not really a comparable analogy. Edited March 13, 2018 by Gaz 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's okay in crawling traffic for a bloke to drive around and block in a single female to shout, scream and swear at her and put her in fear if he does not like the fact that female is stuck in the wrong lane and he doesn't want to let her in? You defeat your own argument by citing fiscal concern for your vehicle then saying it's okay to go ape behind the wheel putting other road users at risk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I've already said I think it was pretty low behaviour. I'm simply saying that to compare it to someone walking in front of someone in a street isn't a fair analogy. There are far more potential consequences to a car getting cut up than a person. If you can point out to me where I said it was okay for someone to go ape behind the wheel then please do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
