What's boiled your pi$$ today?
I'll go first...
Today we went out to a nice local crafty/antiquey/independent traders type place. I parked a bit out of the way, at the end of a row, to make it easier to get our 4m old daughter out with the carseat, buggy etc.
When returning to the car, from across the carpark (a fair distance away) i noticed a bloke standing by the side of my car. Odd, wonder what he's doing...
After a few seconds he wandered off and joined 3 other males (all aprox in their 30s) and got in a blue BMW.
I got to my car and he had taken a piss against my passenger side door!
I nearly went after him but decided it wouldn't bring anything good. They were driving off as we got to my car anyway. I thought I got the plate of the BMW but it doesn't come up as the right car so maybe I didn't see it right.
Had it been a few minutes later I'd have no idea about it as it would've evaporated away and I wouldn't have seen him.
There were toilets in the courtyard not 100m away, trees and bushes were also available. WTF would piss against someone else's car?! Utterly disgusting.

Although not my car, i witnessed similar to OP on Friday when i was shopping. Got back to my car and saw a fat chubber in a grey Merc Sprinter dump his van at a jaunty angle in the 3 empty bays between a trolley bay and a parked Ioniq. He jumped out from the passenger door and disappeared from view down the driver side - about a minute later he reappears, opens the passenger door and fiddles around in the door pocket before it looked clear he was rinsing his hands off with a water bottle. Once done jumps in, obviously hops over to the driver seat - guess the driver door was broken, wont open, etc - reverses out and drives off. With the van gone you could see where he'd been pissing at the passenger rear of the Ioniq and had positioned the van for cover.
Obviously he couldn't manage the 30 odd second walk from there to the entrance of the Waitrose where the toilets are. Dirty scum.

We lived in a cul de sac once upon a time, right near a motorway junction I'll go first...

People pissing on / in between neighbours parked cars happened relatively often
You’d often get the odd turd between cars
Typically it’d be taxi drivers or van drivers
Delicious
We used to live in a very busy town centre, and almost without fail, on a Fri & sat night we’d come home, walk into the alley way up to our flat, to find a bloke p**sing up the wall.
My wife (nurse, so has seen it all) is rather good with her ‘stares’, and one eve she’d had enough and walked right up to a pee’ing man, and just started to stare at his bits, whilst he was mid flow. He couldn’t stop, but tried to hide his indiscretion, and ended up getting himself very wet. Mighty proud of her.

People still leaving massive gaps to the car in front of them at lights, junctions etc. FFS close up, I could literally drive in and park in some of the gaps.
TX.
Divs that don't get a wiggle on when temporary lights go from red to green and leave huge gaps between them and the car infront and the lights go to red as you get there.TX.
Same divs that ride on the bumper of the car infront at 40 mph with no intention of overtaking but there are 3 divs in a row meaning you can't make progress.
A neighbours daughter parking her car outside my house, presumably because they had a guest who was using her space on the drive. Then she decides to go on holiday leaving the car where it is and taking the only key with her so nobody can move it. That was, so far, 11 days ago!
I've got another neighbour with two cars AND a 2-car driveway but parks one of the cars in the turning area of the cul-de-sac treating it as their permanent parking spot which makes it inconvenient for another neighbour to reverse off his drive. When asked why he doesn't put both cars on the drive his answer is it's not wide enough to open the doors. Funny how he can currently accommodate a full size builders skip along with his other car quite easily. I'd perhaps be more understanding if both cars were used in equal measure but the one on the road doesn't turn a wheel for weeks and then only to give it a run to keep the battery charged
Having a driveway and not using it boils my Pi$$

'AI' Artificial Intelligence Telesales. 🥺
My ancient bakelite 1950's landline GPO telephone started tinkling a few moments ago. It hardly ever rings nowadays and I duly answered it with a deep sense of dread and foreboding. The only people who have the number and ring me up on it are a few loyal friends, KCOM, telesales people and Microsoft virus scammers.
Today was a new one on me though and it failed the 'Turing' test!!!
It was a standard sort of how much insulation is in your loft call.
We want to condemn whatever is there or claim it's not enough and then arrange for one of our highly trained hard sell assessors to come out and stuff you full of the finest expensive and irritating fiberglass. Minus £5000 of your hard earned money and the government grant of course, which we take for our trouble.
A middle aged female English non-synthesised voice started with a few standard questions.
Are you the homeowner?
How long have you lived there?
Does it have a loft and insulation?
Hmm.. There is something strange about the voice/person and the way it is reacting to my answers, the intonation is wrong and there is a slightly weird pause as if it is thinking about or processing my answers, but not in a human way.
This went on, I was intrigued and suspected a rabbit was off so I started to give it left field low ball answers and it simply didn't react like a person would.
How much insulation is in the loft? Three feet. Pause...
How old is it? 2 years. Pause...
How old are you? 112. Longer Pause.
Are you still working? Yes... I can't afford to retire from the coal mines. Pause.
What is your name? Lord Voldemort. Long Pause.
My name is 'Gaby' and I'm going to get one of our advisors to arrange an appointment to assess your insulation Lord Voldemort!!!
At this point I replaced the receiver and ended the call as she was still gabbling away in the background and I had wasted enough of my life talking to (I, Robot)!!!. I wonder if another machine will call later?
WTF.. It was clever, not very convincing yet though, and was incredibly annoying. AI is even doing hated telesales people and despised scammers out of a job now. What and who next!! 🤬🤬🤬
Just realised the name 'Gaby' spelt Gabby! makes sense as in it is a gabbler/talker/chatter. bds, even the 'AI' name is taking the piss out of us. 🤖
The Turing test, originally called the imitation game by Alan Turing in 1949 is a test of a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behaviour equivalent to that of a human. In the test, a human evaluator judges a text transcript of a natural-language conversation between a human and a machine. The evaluator tries to identify the machine, and the machine passes if the evaluator cannot reliably tell them apart.
The results would not depend on the machine's ability to answer questions correctly, only on how closely its answers resembled those of a human. Since the Turing test is a test of indistinguishability in performance capacity, the verbal version generalizes naturally to all of human performance capacity, verbal as well as nonverbal (robotic).
