I had a shower once and the whole head-arm broke off and started shooting water perpendicular to the wall

For a good second I felt like Mr bean trying to stymie the flow with my hands and quickly turned the tap off

What's the deal with main roads in Victoria that are 2 marked lanes at light, then after 10 meters past the lights they're not lane marked, it's super wide, speed limit is 60. Some people treat it like it's one lane others want to treat it like two and pass me because I'm only doing 64. Are these 2 lanes or 1? I didn't know how to begin googling.

Gets twice as many cars through for each change of the lights.

Once through, you're meant to zipper merge back into one lane.

i think if i was goimg to stipulate the key difference between qld drivers and vic drivers its that qld drivers are way more polite but exponentially more stupid. i have a finely honed sense of when people are going to do oval office things on the road and it was constantly firing in victoria but i never saw anyone just forget how roundabouts work or try to change lanes without looking

I've found that the further north you get the worse drivers are in city situations. And I've done Melb to Cairns and back a few times.

I just did 2 hours going across the outer north of Melbourne and back today and I would say the zipper merge is not well understood by most drivers

Merging in general is not understood by most drivers in Melbourne. The issues are compounded when there's parking and/or trams. I'm convinced driving around trams breaks people's brains.

ACT drivers are united with Melbourne with their inability to understand how a slip lane works.

Motorcyclists at least only gently caress up themselves and not anyone else.

The sheer momentum of cars is so ever present on the road that it is easy to be blind to the madness that it letting John Q Public ability to propel 1 ton + of metal and flammable fluids to 30m/s in under 10 seconds

My 2 cents on cyclists are:

Commuter people on bikes, yeah cool, get some space, you just getting about.

It's CYCLISTS, ie MAMILs (Middle Aged Men In Lycra) that travel in packs and at least in my area, very wealthy cunts that ride 3 wide on a 2 lane road that are a real problem. I like to give anyone and everyone space, but seriously those cunts stretch the friendship.

All your friends and foes,
they thought they knew ya,
but look who's in your heart now.

sounds like your standard problem of cars taking up a lot of space and forcing pedestrians to fight for space with other forms of transportation

tbh i love how walkable melbourne is. think I've done more walking in the past few months here than i have in the past decade total.

Sums it up well. Basically there are gently caress head sub groups in every form. Cyclists have the MAMIL dick heads, motorcycles have the street Rossi's and 'I wanna be in Son's of Anarchy'. Car drivers just have a much larger pool of dickheads by volume.

I motorcycle most days and cars are the only cunts that do astoundingly weird poo poo that tries to get me killed.

Cyclists just impress me. Might sound strange from a motorcyclist but I don't think I would be brave enough to ride a bicycle anywhere near the road.

Pretty much. At least we have armour and helmets to protect us, not to mention the ability to accelerate out of a dangerous spot if needed.

Yeah but most people drive, a lot less ride, thus more dickheads in cars.

I like riding around the inner west but the traffic is slow as gently caress or at a standstill, alleys/side streets are plentiful and the drivers around here seem more bicycle aware. I would not ride around other parts of Sydney.

The riskiest thing I do is use parramatta rd to get to broadway but the bus lanes make it as safe as it can be really. Having good acceleration helps too.
