FWIW, most non-US English speaking countries do use the plural verb form when the subject is a group, not an individual. Read anything written by a Brit.
Would you write, "A herd of buffalo run/runs fast."?

Traffic backs up less distance when using all available lanes to the last moment. Helps prevent people trying to get off the road at an exit from being stopped. And using all those lanes hurts no one except those that wrongly think they're being nice guys for getting over early.
U'd be crucified in Europe for that. If you don't get over as soon as you pass the ones behind get really pissed. And they use their signals before they come out to pass. But when they do, they're coming NOW no matter how close you are behind them.
A herd=one herd=a herd of buffalo runs fast. herds of buffalo run fast.

Along the same lines, people who leave shopping carts next to one's vehicle or push them into a car or truck with no consideration.
Much rarer today I think since stores have added cart collection sites in their lots.

Yes, however, there are still idiots that do stuff like that. Too lazy to put the carts back so they just leave them there.
These high schoolers getting their bag blown off by some hottie teacher, when all my teachers looked like Aunt Bea or Beulah Ballbreaker...

What's really bad is that I don't even recall having a hot teacher, ever. Most were like Miss Jane on the Beverly Hillbilles.
Yeah really pisses me off. I think what pisses me off more is they tell their family/friends just to ruin a good thing. It would take water boarding for me to give up any info on the tang. The boy then becomes a victim. Total ********. If a male teacher sleeps with a 17-18 yr old and he’s maybe 25, he will serve 10 years in prison while the female gets community service because she had a rough childhood or some other mental bs excuse.

Bicyclists taking up an entire lane of a 2-lane road going 15 MPH in a 25 MPH zone.
Who are you kidding? You’d be balls deep into that.ummm boy...
I will not go into the damning + harsh criticism I suffered here at the hands of a certain few, highly-evolved posters many moons ago.
My commute requires busing over cycling these days. Life is good.
I thought your commute consisted of staggering home drunk.
I won't get into the uniform requirements of the city biker. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
In today's world she would transgender to a man. Respect choice as they say.ummm boy...
Two things burn me up when I am driving a driver driving slow in the left lane and holding up traffic and the second a driver passes and immediately makes a turn. I can understand road rage.
I’m fed up and tired with dax Shepard. He has the comedic value of a root canal. His wife is hot eye candy but I don’t know how much more of his **** I have to put up with to see a glimpse of her. Another one living vicariously through their kids who have no talent either is Leslie Mann. She’s hoping her kids make it by putting Judd apatows offspring in movies and now ****** skin cream commercial. She probably should of just went the Lori loughin route but won’t need to in the end.
