I would count this as one of the things I excel at. I should have logged it in the appropriate thread, but I am fucking outstanding at holding doors. I think I missed my calling somewhat perhaps.
Youâd regularly have people in public spaces or on public transport in London having conversations on speakerphone. Those using their phone normally speaking loud enough for everyone to hear. Always struck me as particularly classless.

Many Dublin people seem to have a blind spot in relation to this subtle nuance of traffic etiquette
Thatâs just knacks everywhere. Iâve seen the same in the the States, Dublin etc.

Theyâre not knacks though. Theyâre just wankers.
And what makes you so high and mighty?

In this instance on the dock road that youâre describing itâs you who is the ignorant party there. Itâs others who have to tolerate your bad driving manners.
Thanks for explaining the tongue in cheek comment to others on the forum who werenât clever enough to get it by themselves.

No problem. Be careful you donât cause an accident.
You shouldnât merge until the end. Thatâs whole point. At the merge point then traffic proceeds every second one. Why put the lane to say point x if everyone gets out early? What would be the fucking logic to that, everyone in one lane with an empty lane sitting outside them?
Itâs illegal in Germany to merge before the end of the merge lane.

Youâre not in Germany now, boyo.
The reason the merger lane is there is the road on that stretch is wider since major work and building demolition was done along that section of the dock road about 20 years ago. The volume of traffic on that road forced their hand to put in a poxy merging lane. Sometimes motorists find themselves on the outside lane through no fault of their own it has happened to me but then there are the others who bomb along and snake in at the end. Yes itâs what a merger lane is for but I still donât like it.
The merger lane is for the ballsy guys to get to where they need to be quicker.

Ye should have streets named after ye, not having to answer to people for taking care of business.
You actually have idiots sitting in their cars for 15 minutes waiting to get to the top of the queue, while I can scoot down the outside and be through the traffic lights in no more than 3 minutes. Left Hand Lane Losers I call them. You see people who are actually in the right hand lane, seeing a big queue and decide to leave a clear lane ahead of them, all the way to the light, to join the queue. Itâs madness.

Because I cut down through Alphonsus St I usually end up in the left lane, but as soon as there is a gap Iâll move out into the right hand lane and be half way home before the other uselss cunts have even reached the Topaz.

An old boss of mine used to drive (I presume he still does) everywhere in the bus lane. He got caught about 1 or 2 times a year on average, but heâd it down to a fine art. Heâd send a solicitor in to contest it every time and as of the time Iâd left he was yet to get a fine or points. Now the legal bills were massive but he didnât give a fuck because he was a busy successful man and as such above the remit of the law. Reckoned it saved him about 15 minutes every evening, which in successful business man numbers is millions.
