After having been told my danglies looked like an elderly rastafarian I decided to take the plunge and buy some of this as previous shaving attempts had only been mildly succesful and I nearly put my back out trying to reach the more difficult bits. Being a bit of a romantic I thought I would do the deed on the missus's birthday as a bit of a treat.
I ordered it well in advance and working in the North sea I considerd myself a bit above some of the characters writing the previous reviews and wrote them off as soft office types...oh my fellow sufferers how wrong I was. I waited until the other half was tucked up in bed and after giving some vague hints about a special surprise I went down to the bathroom. Initially all went well and I applied the gel and stood waiting for something to happen.
I didn't have long to wait. At first there was a gentle warmth which in a matter of seconds was replaced by an intense burning and a feeling I can only describe as like being given a barbed wire wedgie by two people intent on hitting the ceiling with my head. Religion hadn't featured much in my life until that night but I suddenly became willing to convert to any religion to stop the violent burning around the turd tunnel and what seemed like the destruction of the meat and two veg. Struggling to not bite through my bottom lip I tried to wash the gel of in the sink and only succeeded in blocking the plughole with a mat of hair. Through the haze of tears I struggled out of the bathroom across the hall into the kitchen by this time walking was not really possible and I crawled the final yard to the fridge in the hope of some form of cold relief. I yanked the freezer drawer out and found a tub of ice cream, tore the lid of and positioned it under me.
The relief was fantastic but only temporary as it melted fairly quickly and the fiery stabbing soon returned .Due to the shape of the ice cream tub I hadn't managed to give the starfish any treatment and I groped around in the drawer for something else as I was sure my vision was going to fail fairly soon.I grabbed a bag of what I later found out was frozen sprouts and tore it open trying to be quiet as I did so.I took a handful of them and tried in vain to clench some between the cheeks of my arse. This was not doing the trick as some of the gel had found it's way up the chutney channel and it felt like the space shuttle was running it's engines behind me. This was probably and hopefully the only time in my life I was going to wish there was a gay snowman in the kitchen which should give you some idea of the depths I was willing to sink to in order to ease the pain.
The only solution my pain crazed mind could come up with was to gently ease one of the sprouts where no veg had gone before. unfortunately, alerted by the strange grunts coming from the kitchen the other half chose that moment to come and investigate and was greeted by the sight of me, arse in the air, strawberry ice cream dripping from my bell end pushing a sprout up my arse while muttering..." Ooooh that feels good ". Understandably this was a shock to her and she let out a scream and as I hadn't heard her come in it caused an involutary spasm of shock in myself which resulted in the sprout being ejected at quite some speed in her direction. I can understand that having a sprout farted against your leg at 11 at night in the kitchen probably wasn't the special surprise she was expecting and having to explain to the kids the next day what the strange hollow in the ice cream was didn't improve my status...So to sum it up Veet removes hair, dignity and self respect...

This could go in that reddit group "Am I the #######?" but this rgmg. Wife and I had this discussion earlier and I wonder what you guys think.
I'm pretty much done letting strugglers merge. I'm not intentionally blocking anyone or changing my speed to be a dick about it, and obviously there's exceptions like gridlock, bad weather, and some merges that are kinda blind.
But if I'm cruising along, not changing my speed at all, massive gap in front and behind me, and some donkey in a civic throws their signal on and just sits right next to you with a stunned look on their face.... Sorry bud, you're gonna have the figure that one out on your own.

Meh, drivers letting these idiots in is why they never learn to properly merge, because they just throw on a signal and go. If they are the ones merging, it's their responsibility to figure it out and speed up or slow down as appropriate.

I always get a kick out of the people on deerfoot and Glenmore who speed up trying to not let someone in who tries to get in last second.
I am a last second merger and I always get in without having to brake or slow down. You time it perfectly and it doesn't effect traffic at all. You do get the strugglers who think a signal light means asking for permission. When my signal goes on it's to let the car know I am changing lanes. You don't need permission to switch lanes, you just change lanes.
The ending of the movie "The Negotiator" makes no sense; it's really stupid. How Kevin Spacey can trick the corrupt cop with such an obvious non-lethal gunshot and goad him into confessing out loud so obviously is beyond me. It just reeks of sloppy, stupid writing. This is supposed to be a veteran cop who's been around the block a long time. He hears the two of them talking in obviously coded language, then he shoots them in an obviously non-lethal way, and that's it? No further inquiries, he's just ready to welcome him into the conspiracy? Absolutely ridiculous.

I do try to look ahead and if we are going to arrive pretty close I will slow slightly just to create space. Doesn’t affect my day much and gives me a bit of room for maneuvering if the person does something unpredictable.

Lived in China for three years in ~2000. Pooped in many a hutong community toilet just like this (although squatters instead of seats of course). Dudes would sit across from you pooping while leisurely reading (the state-controlled) newspaper.
It was glorious.

Maybe an unpopular take, but IMO:
1. The merger's job is to get up to speed.
2. Drivers on the road should create the gap for them. (it's really not hard...speed up, coast for a few seconds, or better yet move over if you can)
If they are matching your speed then they're not really struggling...
