I've never 'got'

I feel like this is such a weird one.

Totally get some people struggle to unroll toilet roll when it's the wrong way round for them. But protecting your stuff from a quick attack as it passes through an area with zero oversight staffed by low paid workers just seems pretty uncontroversial.

Only time I've ever had to open my checked luggage was when it was overweight at the check-in desk.

Are we suggesting these people are wrapping their cabin baggage after it's been through security? Then I definitely don't "get" it

I almost always had my bag wrapped when coming back from East Asia, it's cheap and gives a bit more peace of mind. Once it was to prevent a cheap bag from bursting open.

Doing nearly all your riding in London and choosing to use SPD-SLs.

Init, speedplays ftw

See also; moped riders who hover their feet about 7mm above the tarmac.

It's the moped equivalent of riding a bicycle no-handed and thinking you look cool as fuck. I imagine they feel really fucking stupid when the inevitable happens and their foot hits an object, shattering their ankle as it bends backwards at 30mph

I was going to post exactly the same thing but you worded it much better.

Clipless is fucking stupid in London, there's a tiny fraction of commuters who are doing a massive commute or are going somewhere to do laps but most are getting fully kitted up to do a 5 mile wobble in to town.

Taking away the convenience and flexibility of a bike so they can ice skate in a tesco local.

I’m in the sticks and it amazes me how many ‘new’ riders turn up with SPD-SL’s for club rides. They ride once a week and after every stop they are wobbling all over the place and taking forever to get up to speed cos they can’t clip in quickly. I blame the shops - should be advising (MTB) SPD’s

In town SPDs, MTB-style shoes and and dual-use pedals (so ordinary shoes if I want) is my thing. Always amusing to see some geezer hanging by one arm off the nearest bit of street furniture because he can't put a foot down.

should be advising flats

"pro"wrestling/ WWE (WWF) / Wrastling

Shaved men slathered in baby oil rubbing themselves on one another.
Sounds like it should be great, but is shite.

Even as a child my interest lasted maybe a week.

My brother loves it, I just don't get it.

Yes but can you smell what the Rock is cooking?

It's basically soap opera for men, you can only enjoy the actual wrestling if you've invested in the storylines that go with them.

I was massively into it as a kid/teenager during 90's and 2000s attitude/Monday night wars era. Not watched it since then but it's no more baffling than why people watch Eastenders.

A mate got into actually doing the wrestling in the last few years, I went to watch once and it was surprisingly fun considering I've never really been into it, he's doing a triple tag team match with Scotty too Hotty soon. Fighting with my family is a good film that happens to be about wrestling.

Ha ha, totally!

It isn't been the same since Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks went to their final fight in that great ring in the sky...

I was very, very close to buying Giant Haystacks's old house off his sons a few years ago.

Only popped back in to LFGSS to get tyre recommendations but got to drop this r3d h0t 1nf0, thanks,

Wooo!

ASMR. Please stop this weird loudness fad now. Trying watch someone cook something on instagram and got jumped by some surprise ASMR. Genuinely unpleasant, felt mildy violated. Sound off.

Beaches in the summer.

Not sure why people think cramming onto a beach with loads of other people, crappy facilities and sand getting stuck to your sun cream is fun.

I used to be the same, until we went to cape cod with my wife's siblings. Coolers of drinks, couple tent things, set up camp, let go of sandiness worries, it can be great

Beaches you can't easily drive to are the key, or if you can parking is miles away. Works for us.

Absolutely this. Even better if you have to climb down a borderline dangerous cliff path. The only people on the beach will be you and handful of locals

handful of locals

Sounds like purgatory
