Environmental costs
I'm getting 2 new tyres on Wednesday, price includes environmental disposal. Told them to knock that off and i'll take them to local tip free of charge. Guess what they can't do that and no one could answer why not. Same if you have an oil change.

Indian gent that rings me most nights from "the verification company" needing to know who i get my energy off. So far he's been told my parents are out, he's got wrong number, i live in a treehouse and don't have power, British gas(lie), we've been cut off can he replace the service, i'm a squatter but he still insists on ringing regularly.

Global warming

Drivers joining motorway at 40 mph and going into a big flap if there's a car within 200 yards causing them to slam on brakes on the slip road. Fools


Lack of common sense!!!

Oh yeah after today- shop assistants who:-
1 answer a phone in the middle of serving you! LEAVE IT THEY'LL RING BACK I'M HERE THEY'RE NOT

2 have conversations with other assistants whilst serving you. I don't mind a quick answer to an appropriate question but i don't like being served and ignored whilst they talk about last nights goings on in pub or what time they last had a break

here is an example of how stupid people can be...

going from stoke to birmingham yesterday and the motorway was busy....all except for the first lane. it was like having my own private lane. it got to a point where i was undertaking car after car after car, i started to question why this lane was empty and could they see something that i couldn't?

The best bit is as you're undertaking them they look across as if to say "what the f**k are you doing? That's illegal" happened to me on dual c/way today, some woman in a golf seemed somehow to be stuck in the 2nd lane, as soon as i undertook her she pulled across to the inside lane. Worrying thing is she obviously had no concept of what lane she was in or what was going on behind her with the big line of traffic. I'd love to flash lights at them but that winds me up too, anyone does that to me and i'll quite happily sit in front of them timing it right so i'm constantly overtaking

Think i'm getting to that Grumpy part of my life i need to relax a bit

Had to undertake an old giffer doing 40 on a 60mph dual carridgeway, he flashed constantly after that for about 3 miles but STILL stayed in the right lane holding up everyone.

As the highway code says, undertaking is not illegal if slow traffic is the reason and you can make good progress by safely undertaking.

Rule 268.

Do not overtake on the left or move to a lane on your left to overtake. In congested conditions, where adjacent lanes of traffic are moving at similar speeds, traffic in left-hand lanes may sometimes be moving faster than traffic to the right. In these conditions you may keep up with the traffic in your lane even if this means passing traffic in the lane to your right. Do not weave in and out of lanes to overtake.

[Lefty]

Mostly on motorways/highways: People driving a consistant slow speed and when you overtake them they speed up so you keep driving along side.
Then you have to chose between speeding enough to pass or pull back behind him only to get annoyed again by his slow speed.

If I see a truck coming up on his lane I continue to drive alongside, they have to back off then.

Irrelavant signs.
Spotted 2 today.

First on A1 up by Catterick way, the big matrix signs 2 of them saying "sign not working" well how the hell did you get those words on it and if it's broken just leave it blank. I never spot a sign blank and think ooh i should slow down that sign might be broken and there could be a queue ahead!!

Second one on a road by me saying "new traffic signals ahead". Well if anyone fails to spot the pedestrian crossing with it's big coloured lights and white lines all over the road they should not be driving. What scares me is that sign is probably there to stop some driver knocking someone over at the red light and then suing the council because the crossing was not there last week

[Just got one]

All of the above !!!
....and people who cross the road without looking, and then look at you as if it's your fault they've nearly been run over - WTF !
....and people who phone you up and say "it's me" I know more than one person, flippin well introduce yourself properly - talking of which, when you meet someone and shake their hand, and they look away whilst doing it.
....and dogs.
....and people who say "come for a curry" When they know I don't like curry, and then they say, "no, but this ones lovely" as if their opinion of a particular curry dish will suddenly make me like it, after a lifetime of not liking it.



That is all

[Just got one]

Oh yeah, and ex-wives
I've got two of them so it's double trouble

[Bumpy macaroon]

drivers doing 50 mph on national speed limit roads, its 60 you numbnut, but to top it off they will then carry on doing 50 through 30 mph limit areas.

the pull out in front of you when there is no one behind you to then turn off 100 yards up the road.

women doing their hair/make up in the mirror whilst driving, yes your face looks fab darling but it wont after you have shunted someone and planted your head into your airbag.

Mobiles, least said.

any 4X4 not driven by a farmer with a field stuck to it.

Tailgating, just back off,

lack of flashing orange things - indicate you moron.

general bad driving skills displayed by the british public on motorways.dual carriageways.

pig headed, ignorant drivers- your behaviour not only puts me and my family at risk but yours aswell. your car is not a protective bubble.

Drunk drivers/drug drivers.

goat done.
