If you were ruler for a day, what minor irritations would you fix?

[Enko]

If you were ruler for a day. What minor thing would you fix.

I am not here talking stuff that would have long lasting political impact or getting rid of people permanently I am talking the smaller irritants that makes your eye roll and you are like "someone should do something about it"

Well for one day you are that someone what would you do?

For me. Potholes on my road and roads near by to be fixed (I would say all but I dont think 1 day would be enough time) but as many as they could manage in each city for the day

Also I would have someone drive around the towns cutting back hedges that are 1/2meter to 1 across the pavement. I know they would look shite after butthat's my minor irritant.

Forcing a large stick through the wheel spokes of an adult cycling on the pavement wouldn't just be legal, it would be mandatory.

You would also be allowed to use that stick to beat people who stop suddenly at the top of escalators / in doorways etc.

The lane has a 60 mph limit?

Lorries on the roads during the day.

Cost of living take off the rich to help us disabled say

Instant driving ban for entitled twats that don’t follow the zip protocol for merging traffic.

I vote for you!

In fact I'd ban all e-scooters, bikes and those delivery bots.

Businesses would have to have a real person answering the phone within a minute. That person would be knowledgeable about the firms procedures, and actively helpful. However, having been helpful and resolved the problem, they would not be firing off emails asking me to grade them on their performance.

Evict the source of all EVILS. This labour government.

When bloody Evri lose a package they wouldn't be allowed to go home for tea until they've found it and delivered it 😡

I’d put a magic trick in, thay if you were going to do or say something cunty, just as you’re in a mood or unhappy, you’d be struck dumb and Illiterate so no one had to be subjected to your abuse.

I’m glad you clarified because I don’t think I could get on board with using my parent’s first names.

The road down to our village is mostly 60mph. OK, it's not a single track, but it is very windy with a lot of blind bends and high stone walls in parts. It isn't uncommon to encounter a giant tractor or lorry coming round one of the bends.

Driving at 60 would be totally reckless.

As part of my noise pollution laws there will be a public information campaign to advise people that they can plug in headphones to the USB socket in their phones.

I don't get the point of e-scooters. What do they do that a bike doesn't, e-version or otherwise?

Well I am definitely a right laugh at parties and I would ban these too!!

Oh I thought of one more. Anyone caught putting their feet on the seats in busses and trains a £1000.00 fine immediately if unable to pay it doubles and you go to prison. Other train passengers can report through an app and police collects at next station. Also similar for bags on seats when others are standing up

They are very efficient at moving robbers around our cities.

Exceptionally noisy vehicles (motorcycles, quad bikes, sports cars with 'popping' engines) not to be driven between 11pm and 7am, on pain of being crushed (one giant crushing machine to be mandatory in every postcode).

That can't have been DPD...

Because the DPD man turned up yesterday on my doorstep at 18.55, and we had to engage in pointless chitchat for 5 minutes because he wasn't allowed to give me my parcel outside of my 19.00- 20.00 slot.

Most tiny narrow single track country lanes do, yes...

Have you never driven rurally?

"Please pave it over, thereby contributing to water runoff and flooding when it's wet, and overheating when there's a heatwave" 👏👏👏

You can be my ruler for the day!! It drives me insane when people do that. Was waiting for an eyebrow thread listening to some doll playing candy crush full volume. I actually had to leave.

I would move the extra day in leap years to June. No-one wants or needs an extra day of February.

That’s a very good one. I agree.
