Heh! Is it named after a bolshie northern Iwi?

Sometimes I think these sort of intersections need to be made no right turn if there's not enough width to allocate a separate lane for the right turners.

Ummm... if the intersection was made no right turn, there'd be no need to allocate a separate lane for the right turners.

I'm guessing you work for NZTA.

When you're reading one of your own posts from years ago and feel the compulsive need to edit a typo in it. (Trusted members can go back and edit any of their previous posts. Not sure this is always a good thing, LOL.)

Having to queue to pay for petrol because there is a single cashier because the other attendant is busy making coffees and hot chocolates. It 's a petrol station ffs.

Did Eric Clapton really think she looked wonderful...or was it after the 15th outfit she tried on and he just wanted to get to the party and get a drink?

Better margins to be made on the additional products and in many cases a significant additional income stream. A bit like waiting in line at the movies.

When there is a large queue for the checkouts at Bunnings, Yet that guy who stands at the entrance and says hi as you walk in, can't be bothered walking 10m to open another checkout lane.

People who don't think ahead about their driving route. Case in point: the end of our street is a major road. Extremely difficult to turn right at peak time. People drive up there to turn right and get stuck there for ages, blocking everyone else who needs to make the easy turn left.

They could have taken a very small alternative route to end up at a traffic light controlled intersection onto the same main road and saved himself much time, stress and risk.

My GPS nav unit does this to me. It often likes to keep me on the road im currently on. So it often does silly things like the above. And if you don't know the area, by the time it has directed you down an annoying route, often it is too late to turn around.

No, it's a cafe and grocery shop that just happens to sell a bit of petrol on the side.

Slightly related: Pull into a gas station and only one of the 6 bowsers has diesel and someone on it is pumping petrol.

I'm looking at you, Mobil!

Z may be pricey but they always have diesel on all bowsers.
