Road rage

By Anonymous - 01/10/2010 13:47 - United Kingdom

Today, when I stopped at a light, I tossed a banana peel into a field along the side of the road. The man behind me got out of his car, picked up the banana peel and threw it back into my car at me. When I tried to tell him it was biodegradable, he told me to "stop making up words." FML

Why would you throw a banana peel on the ground? Don't you watch cartoons?

I'm in two minds on this one. One, because you are right, OP, the banana peel is biodegradable, and it was a field. Chances are, there's already degrading things in there. Two, it is still litter and technically therefore should be disposed of responsibly, say in a compost bin.

Full marks to the guy in the other car. It'll break down eventually, but in the meantime it's still garbage, and you're still a litterbug.

"Full marks"? You can't even take off a few for not knowing a word and claiming it was made up?

Yeah, OK, good point. The bananarang guy probably was a bit of a thicko.

I'm going to send my dog to crap on your lawn and have him tell touches fine because it's biodegradable.

YDI for being English.

Actually, it says UK. Therefore the OP could be Scottish, Welsh or from Northern Ireland... So maybe not. :P

True, true. On the other hand, what happened sounds very English. My dads English, and that is completely something he would do.

I know, I was just being pedantic about your trolling. :P Tbf, I'm English as well, and I've thrown the odd apple core into a hedge. Maybe we just have bad habits?

It's called trolling, some people do it as a joke, others do it because they think it's cool (when it isn't). I was assuming that JillianlikesVogu was joking.

Oh, and also - the post is from the UK, but that doesn't mean the OP is. My posts would show up as being from Germany, but I'm certainly not German.

Actually, I believe neither one is correct. Whether OP is a male or a female, [s]he was presumably the same sex when this happened. It ought to be "If you are a guy, you should have punched him." The correct usage of was/were in this manner varies by location. AFAIK, in American English, "you was" shouldn't ever be used, so FYLrunning was semi-correct, according to the rules in his region. Corrections and/or clarifications welcomed. :]

Actually, BethiiGeex, it should be; 'if you were a guy you should have punched him.' And before you start, I'm from England too.

lmfao, Sinse when is this site used for correcting spelling? i couldn't care less that you "owned" me..

I think you mean 'since'. And I don't care about owning you, but I do think you should get your facts right before you claim them as facts. There's also a difference between how you would talk and how you would write it. Also, correct spelling does help you look more intelligent, but then again, this is the internet, a lot of it does appear to be used as a stupidity sink.

lmfao I was only commenting on fml till people started commenting telling me how to spell which you just did.

I know. But if you look, I didn't comment until after you tried to justify it by incorrectly stating that that particular rule of grammar was different in England. I took objection to you getting that fact wrong. Which is what I meant in my last comment.
