Rant number 127
Sometimes, hell like all places has a slow day. The kind of day where all the customers are satisfied (in this case tortured horribly,) the paperwork has all been filed, the office has been tidied and the staff (demons) have time to twiddle their thumbs a bit.
Satan - like all bosses, really hates to see his workers down tools and put their feet up. So on these days he tells them to go and work on their own projects. Their very own little bit of evil you know?
It was on one of these days I reckon, that some evil imp, incubus, gorgon, goblin or assorted other came up with a minor but diabolical evil.
The one way system.
It doesn't matter how clever you are, how good your sense of direction is or how good a driver you are. You will still get caught out by a one way system every time, and always to your bloody detriment.
One way systems are something used by town planners to make up for poor initial planning.
I understand the ones where roads are just too narrow to fit two cars between the buildings, but often its not as simple as that.
Sometimes you come to a junction where you need to turn left. You've planned to go that way - that way lies your destination. Can you though? Can you arse.
No - you need to turn right: the opposite direction. How bloody irritating and pointless is that?
I mean, surely people want to go that way sometimes? Why make it more difficult?
Some places are an absolute web of these bloody systems. Manchester for instance often involves going an almost insurmountable distance out of your way - just because.
I just think its bloody daft!
Rant over.
