Fragile Do Not Bend Feb 2016 7:00pm, 2 Feb 2016 618 posts	Quote Pin Fragile Do Not Bend Busy roads that don't have a pavement. Or have a pavement only on the side that you're not on. Or have a pavement on one side that randomly swaps to the other side halfway along.

Dickhead pedestrians paying too much attention to their phone and not enough to the road (or the aforementioned dickhead drivers) Dickhead cyclists ringing their bells. Not to alert anyone to their presence. Just constantly. Ring ring ring ring ring ring. Dickhead boy getting far too riled up at the perceived slights of others.

(I use the Aeropress for mine.) ... especially when the only person who buys coffee is me!
