minor things that make you fume


People who change lanes without indicating.

People in a turn left or turn right lane & they have the indicator on. What's the point, they have no choice but to turn. Everyone knows exactly what they are going to do.
 
I don't know if this happens in the UK, but when you buy something over the counter in Australia, the cashier will often say "that's just $10:00, or just $25:00"

Why add "just"? why not simply say the price - that's $10:00 please? Don't we, the customer decide if it is a reasonable price? Quite frankly, most often there is nothing "just" about it. Everything is getting expensive. The cost at the supermarket is getting ridiculous.

Often on the television news for example the reporter will say “it is as tall as the Eiffel Tower”. I have no clue how tall the Eiffel Tower so that means very little to me. I understand imperial measurements or metric measurements so just use those ?‍♂️
Ah right, Imperial it is then
iirc(?), The Eiffel tower is approx 1 furlong, 6 chains, 9 yards, high.

You can never be totally sure on that where drivers are concerned, so an indicator is a potential extra erm...well Indicator for want of a better word - and you can't trust those sometimes.
 

That's helpful. It is the as high as Everest, as wide as the Grand Canyon that I can't fathom
The average width of The Grand Canyon is 3 and 1third leagues.

For comparative purposes Capt Nemo did 20,000. and The Charge of the Light Brigade was half a league.
The table below might help...
