Dog walkers.
Car Drivers.
Smokers.
Drinkers.
Fat people.
City councils and the government hate them, they are lifestyle prejudiced towards those people.
My local council just takes the piss out of car drivers, city centre traffic lights in recent years have been sequenced to maximise disruption.
Now they're doing surveys to find out why no-one goes into toon anymore and the outlying shopping zones are booming.
:nohead:
My entire lifestyle now revolves around completely avoiding the city centre.

It's a well-known fact that civil engineers are the guys who can't cut it in the other types of engineering. Combine that with engineers being the guys who can't cut it in physics or math and you've got some pretty bonked out traffic lights.
To illustrate...a mathematician, a physicist and an engineer were posed with the following problem: prove that all odd numbers greater than one are prime.
Mathematician: 3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 9 ... is not prime, therefore the assertion is false.
Physicist: 3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 9 ... experimental error, 11 is prime, 13 is prime, 15 ... experimental error, ...
Engineer: 3 is prime, 5 is prime, 7 is prime, 9 ... is prime, 11 is prime, 13 is prime, 15 ... is prime, ...

id say electrical engineering is the toughest discipline amongst engineers :>Grin>
as for any engineer not being able to cut it in a pure science.
once you get into masters level electrical it is pure science
plus those physicists lack "people" skills
I mean engineering is applied science anyway.
Ive known phd Physicists working in finance crunching numbers,
so they definitely are sought after but engineering is simply mroe practical as your illustration suggests

Speaking of being practical, here is another illustration...
A mathematician, a physicist and an engineer are staying in the same hotel one night (separate rooms) and coincidentally the corner of their beds catch fire at the exact same time.
The engineer takes his ice bucket, fills it with water and splashes it all over the bed. He puts the fire out but he has to sleep on a wet bed the rest of the night.
The physicist goes out to the hallway, gets the fire extinguisher, and uses just the right amount to put out the fire. His bed stays dry and he has a comfortable sleep afterwards.
The mathematician goes out to the hallway, sees the fire extinguisher, but then just goes back to bed, satisfied that there exists a solution.

Good stuff Darryl.
Here's one-
A man is standing in the front of a room between a Mathematician and an Engineer. Standing in the back of the room is a beautiful woman. The man says to the Mathematician and Engineer "When I clap my hands you may move exactly halfway to the woman in the back of the room. If you reach her you can have her."
The man claps his hands and the Engineer moves halfway to the woman and the Mathematician stays put. The man claps his hands once again and the Engineer moves halfway to the woman but the Mathematician once again stays put. The man claps his hands a third time and once again the Engineer moves halfway to the woman but the Mathematician stays put.
The moral to the story:
The Mathematician knows that he will never reach the woman but the Engineer knows he will be close enough for all practical purposes.
