My rant, people in narrow walkways who quickly take a few steps to get in front of you and then proceed to walk slowly along, and then when you try to pass them since your in a hurry act all offened. Happens all the time on ship.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

Obviously, every single person is the only person aboard. I believe that's a corollary of the "I'm the only person on the road" theorem. See Ian's recent accident, below.

Come work in central London and commute at peak-time and feel the true force of the murderous feelings one can harbour towards your fellow man....

I don't work out there in commute hour but I've travelled the underground system. Claustrophobia doesn't help.

Lol....try the H1 interstate (yes, an interstate on an island) during rush hour. When you mix a poorly designed highway with traffic overcrowding, its all kinds of fun.

Those have got to be some long, sturdy bridges :lol:

My dad used to tell me that when the Schuylkill Expressway first opened, within an hour or two there was a traffic jam ... and it has yet to clear.

Oh to add to me one before.
