@Crucial You'll be loving being in England then, the home of:

Let's gather to talk in this entrance/exit, ignorant of all others wishing to use it.

I'll just stop at this station ticket entrance/exit and dig around for my ticket, ignorant of all others I'm blocking from using it.
-
Let's gather bang in the middle of this walkway and talk, ignorant of all the other foot traffic having to awkwardly navigate around us.

Oh a car is waiting to turn right of this main thoroughfare and has left loads of room to go around, I'll just wait behind them anyway (Also loved by Sydney-siders).
Sounds like standard big city behaviour.
Fair enough. If I was only talking about a big city.

I actually thought Londoners were pretty polite compared to Oslo. They literally never line up for buses. People just pile in. And of course they never move away when people exit the train. I used to take my son one stop on the train in his pram for kindergarten and people would not move as I carried it off (stairs on train). I'm not sure what the hell they expected me to do. I either screamed for them to get the fuck out of the way, or used the wheels of the pram as a weapon. I remember one stupid bitch who didn't move, ended up with a lovely slush and dirt skidmark on her cream coat.
Glad to be back in the burbs with the trusty Honda. Fark trains and fark Oslo.

@mariner4life they seem a fertile couple, he only has one wife though so he's still not pulling his weight.

just be grateful, very grateful
The greatest officially recorded number of children born to one mother is 69, to the wife of Feodor Vassilyev (b. 1707–c.1782), a peasant from Shuya, Russia. In 27 confinements she gave birth to 16 pairs of twins, seven sets of triplets and four sets of quadruplets.
Numerous contemporaneous sources exist, which suggest that this seemingly improbably and statistically unlikely story is true.
The case was reported to Moscow by the Monastery of Nikolsk on 27 Feb 1782, which had recorded every birth. It is noted that, by this time, only two of the children who were born in the period c. 1725–65 failed to survive their infancy.
The Gentleman's Magazine (1783, 53, 753) recounts: "In an original letter now before me, dated St Petersburg, Aug 13, 1782, O. S. Feodor Wassilief [sic], aged 75, a peasant, said to be now alive and in perfect health, in the Government of Moscow, has had–
By his first wife:
4 x 4 = 16
7 x 3 = 21
16 x 2 = 32
27 births 69 children
By his second wife:
6 x 2 = 12
2 x 3 = 6
8 births 18 children
In all, 35 births, 87 children, of which 84 are living and only three buried. . . The above relation, however astonishing, may be depended upon, as it came directly from an English merchant at St Petersburg to his relatives in England, who added that the peasant was to be introduced to the Empress."
In Saint Petersburg Panorama, Bashutski, 1834, the author notes that:
"In the day of 27 February 1782, the list from Nikolskiy monastery came to Moscow containing the information that a peasant of the Shuya district, Feodor Vassilyev, married twice, had 87 children. His first wife in 27 confinements gave birth to 16 pairs of twins, seven sets of triplets and four sets of quadruplets. His second wife in eight confinements gave birth to six pairs of twins and two sets of triplets. F. Vassilyev was 75 at that time with 82 of his children alive."
And the Lancet (1878) refers to a twin study carried out by the French Academy and:
"Apropos of the enquiry, the Committee of the Academy recall an account of a quite extraordinary fecundity that was published by M. Hermann in his "Travaux Statistiques de la Russie," for Fedor Vassilet [sic]. . . who, in 1782, was aged 75 years, had had, by two wives, 87 children."
Aside from this, not much is known about the first Mrs Vassilyev - even her first name (although some sources claim her name was Valentina).
It is thought she lived to the age of 76.
Although this historic record should be taken with a pinch of salt, it is certainly conceivable that Mrs Vassilyev could have had a genetic predisposition to hyper-ovulate (release multiple eggs in one cycle), which significantly increases the chance of having twins or multiple children.
It is also not impossible for a woman to have 27 pregnancies during her fertile years.

I went to navigate to another thread after reading the circle jerk posts, and got an Excessive Load Warning. Tee hee.
You obviously need to join the circle jerk ASAP.

@Snowy Do it. I suggest a title like "Everything is Terrible".
Didn't we used to have a 'Things that piss me off' thread.
Great for curmudgeons like myself to moan about people that stop at the top of escalators or can't walk down the street without staring at their phones.
"Things that shit me" IIRC. Started by the inimitable MvJ. I miss him. And Teddy.
