Something innocuous that has the potential to send you into a rage
When you are walking towards two or more people coming the other way down the corridor and they are spread the entire width of the corridor, and it is only when you are literally face-to-face do they figure out that someone in their group needs to step aside to let you pass because you cannot make yourself any smaller.
Jingle nostalgia 1
"How can we forget the great jingle which was played on the first day NZTV telecast commercials," writes John Guy ... "Wherever wheels are turning, no matter what the load, the name that's known is Firestone, where the rubber meets the road. If you're carrying steel or tilling the soil, gonna visit grandma or looking for oil; for the youngest driver or the real old pro, for a jet to land or a lawn to mow. Wherever wheels are turning, no matter what the load, the name that's known is Firestone, where the rubber meets the load." The saying: "Where the rubber meets the road," has been adopted into our language to mean "when theory becomes reality".
