Examples of stupidity

In vague ascending order:

Twice in a row I've been held up in traffic in the morning thanks to deliveries in High Street where the truck parks opposite the bus stop. Triple stupidity for a) parking there in the first place b) parking there between 8-9am when there's neither parking nor loading c) having a bus stop that the buses don't fit in. I've listed this first as the stupidity is spread around and I sympathise for the drivers who turn up to early - what are they supposed to do circle the block?

Home/Garden tips on GMTV this morning "Most people just use the shed to store their lawn mower, but why not turn it into a kids play room" Because then I wouldn't have any where to keep my lawnmower, dear gods man you give a reason why we don't do that in the same bloody sentence.

A couple of days ago in York Street, the cars had stopped at the mini-island and an elderly couple decided to cross at the Pelican. Walked between the queued cars in the one lane and almost stepped out in front of a car travelling perfectly legally in the other. The women only stopped thanks to a hastily flung out arm from the man, she seemed a little shocked and glanced up at the red Do Not Walk sign as if she thought it was green. Well the cars have stopped what are you supposed to assume? Sheesh.

The 'big' Moscow match again on GMTV a group of elderly women travel over and haven't booked any accommodation "What will you do?" asks Fiona, "We'll try to find something after the match" they reply, "Now that's dedication!" exclaims Fiona. No that's idiocy, maybe you can persuade the authorities to let you camp out on Red Square; if they object at least you'll be guaranteed somewhere to stay.

Finally; driving home last night, well shuffling forwards in the queue to OGL anyway, I spot a car behind me with a couple in the front seats. The female passenger with a baby (2-3?) perched on her lap and seated behind them in the middle seat is presumably their daughter (5ish?). "At least", I think "they've got one child seated correctly" At that point she stood up and using the passenger head-restraint to balance herself leant between the front seats to play with the beads dangling from the rear-view mirror and then spent most of the time hanging on to said restraint while watching the world from her window. Before anyone pipes in with suggestions this was an old van/car without seatbelts etc. this was a 57 reg and yes she was doing this while the car was moving.
