When I'm cycling (or driving for that matter) don't look at me and then proceed to dawdle across the fucking road! (While still looking at me expecting me to just stop) 4 times today, in the space of a short 18 mile ride. Once at a pedestrian crossing when the lights were green. All adults. Every time I had to make a significant move off the inside line out into traffic, quickly.

Speech from the Bride’s Father ✅ Speech from the Groom ✅ Speech from the best man ✅ Speech from the Groom’s Father 🤷‍♂️ Speech from the Bride’s Sister 🤦‍♂️ Speech from the Groom’s Mother, WTF!
