Freddie Woo tells us "I'm having to drive 500 miles to pick up my son from the ex's house because she won't let him take the train in case he gets off at the wrong station. He's 19 years old and has A-Levels and everything." - Tell us about illogical and irrational people who get on your nerves.

Although maybe being able to rationally argue these should be on the list probably isn't healthy either...

well, I do have 'the general public' on there somewhere.
It is my personal belief that everyone is a bloody mentalist two hours per day. Those that seem normal just have their crazy time while alone or sleeping.

The highest speed limit I've seen in Americaland was 75mph.
Zer Autobahn has a default speed limit of... No, actually, there is no default speed limit.
Something about a vehicle never exceeding even half of it's design speed is just wrong.

I don't drive high horsepower cars because they can do 175 mph. I drive them because of how fast they can get from one speed to another* (within designated speed limits of course, officer)
Arguing that Germans should drive high-powered cars for the vanishingly small percentage of German roads that it is still legal to drive at any speed on seems odd. Surely it's more relevant that the vast majority of roads in Germany are clogged with traffic and the vast majortiy in the USA are totally empty?
*and, admittedly, for how fast they can go on the track.

...because it's so long since the potholes have been filled that driving anything except a Landie or a tank above 30mph is flirting with a broken axle.

500hp is no bloody use at all if your suspension is made of cabbages.

So, near enough.
For non Austro-Hungarians anyway.

I think he may have died in Germany though, it being formed at some point during his life.
So yeah, near enough.

Are you Baron Harkonnen?
Not sure what to make of "writers of children's books" - have you got something against literacy?
Lastly, are you spimf?

Sure you're not offering? Speak into the microphone please. It was a reference to the fact that ol' vlad liked to pork the young'ins.
I find writers of chldrens books irrational because the books always bored me. I switched to my dad's stuff (mostly high-quality sci-fi such as Asimov, Stephenson, Banks) at 11.
And no, I am not spimf.

I forget.
Still not following you on children's authors, though - nothing irrational about writing books for an audience that isn't you.
spimf would've 2.0'd a lot more people, so I accept that you're not him.

No, actually.
Hating everyone until they prove to be nice isn't the worst thing you could do. It's pretty sensible in fact.

i would have thought it was clear this was not from me
aside from the lack of line breaks, I can't be doing with the en dashes – the way they've been used is far too close to bullet points
i don't approve of bullet points
but the main thing is the distinct lack of all manner of miserable cunts calling me/GermanGuy a cunt
*stands back*
