This is in Surbiton, a town in Greater London where I went to university! The scooting granny is notorious around those parts, my friends and I would see her all the time!

Did you ever see 'The beast' as well? It's a Man/Woman/Thing that would walk around Surbiton. And Moses in Kingston the crazy black guy who would rock a tuxedo and top hat every day. I swear we've got way more than our fair share of crazy...

Not sure if you're being serious or sarcastic but just incase you're being serious - the road name and cycle path. And it's always cloudy.

[–]Identity_disorder 9 points10 points ago

It's not always cloudy-sometimes it's just cloud.

In Vancouver, Canada, we have both the cycle paths and the cloudy weather, as well as a road named Claremont. :P

[–]Snakebyt3 3 points4 points ago

I think by road name they are referencing the style and font of the sign.

She is on the wrong side of the road.

[–]Zovistograt 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Even if you were right, I'd like to point out something: it's smarter to use a scooter on the wrong side of the road if there is no bike lane or smooth sidewalk provided it's not a terribly busy road, since you can always get out of the way of oncoming traffic on time and not have to worry about faster cars coming up behind you while you're headbanging to awesome music.

...or maybe it's just dumb to be listening to blaring music on headphones while flying down the street on a scooter. Eh, I like to have background music to my life...

[–]AgitpropAndApologia 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Maybe if we had more bike lanes, this wouldn't be in the WTF subreddit. It's all the conservative, man. And the oil companies. They keep us from making bike lanes because they know that these little old ladies, who waste away in the nursing homes and hospitals, spewed out and forgotten by society after a lifetime of contributing to it, would like nothing better than to go on a scooter ride once in a while. These are the fucking fascists. This is what the Occupy Protests are about. Look into her eyes. That's the face of the 99%.

That reminds me of when my dad had to pick up his car from the auto shop before it closed but no one was available to drive him (this was before everyone had cell phones, and for you youngsters, yes there was a time) and then my sister just driving saw him razor scootering as fast as he could to pick up his car in time.

She built it out of the bones of neighbourhood children, and plated it with chrome ripped from the bumpers of lesser vehicles, with her teeth.

Otherwise it's a perfectly charming little neighbourhood with a wonderful pub on the corner.
