Women ie my wife who can't stack the dishwasher properly and becoming a pothole magnet when it's her turn to drive. Also people who play/cheat the benefits system and the blame culture/lack of responsibility that prevails in today's society.

People who stand in the queue for the food bank smoking a ***, especially as I've just spent 4 quid in ASDA giving them stuff. If you can buy a packet of **** you can buy food.

People, no - retards, who get on buses or trains before letting everyone off first. Even if there's people standing there patiently by the side, some still just march past obliviously and get on.

You don't need indicators on roundabouts unless you're about to turn off in which case ( in this country ) you'll require the left one.
Apparently this is not what they advocate in the test nowadays, which is plain daft

Why would you put your right indicator on to take the first exit.

Cos that's what people do on a roundabout near here.

Drives me mad

People who stop in the middle of the pavement, usually directly in front of me to text.

People that drive 20MPH under the limit, and then give you the full beam treatment if you dare to overtake them...

People that turn straight around and try to walk through the very queue they have just been in, happens in petrol garages all the time, just walk the long way around FFS.

Plasterers that think they are worth £300 a day.

People that are late.

To be honest, I find people in general to be *****, I must be getting old and grumpy.

That makes two of us.

People, in general, just irritate me. I find the majority of people are selfish and inconsiderate to some extent or another and the older I get, the more I tire of it, and I'm not even that old yet.

I had the same conversation yesterday.

And just as I finished, Bob Geldof walked by...

I still stand by the conversation.

Apparently Bob G was playing a gig locally too.

People who just "get in the way" whether that be on the road in the supermarket or just out and about around the streets, "PAY ATTENTION" FFS.

What a ******* good idea i'll stand in the door way, i'll leave my trolly in the isle so no one can pass without moving it, someones in a hurry walking down the road purposefully i'll just wander in front of them, oh there's a car coming i'll pull out and drive at 25mph, i'm doing 95mph on the motorway so i'll cut in front of someone doing 70mph slam my brakes on so I can get off at my exit, I have no intention of overtaking the slow moving truck so i'll just sit behind it for 20 miles and make sure no one else can either.

It's a good job we're not like America with the right to bare arms because there would be a trail of dead mother ******* everywhere I went.

I was taught and tested on indicating right if going past 12 'o clock position on a roundabout then left when turning off. Can't see ommitting this being safe in anyway shape or form, especially in places like MK where approach speeds are generally higher.

my drive is a hard standing next to a main road, so to pull into my drive I either have to go 2 miles further past my house to turn round and come back up the hill to pull into my drive (Because of the traffic lights etc I cant just pull in on the way down the hill as some ***** always stop inside the yellow box -.-)

So when pulling out I have to wait for the lights to change for a gap etc.

But what really ****s me off is when I am indicating to pull out and the lights are red and a car comes screaming up the hill and blocks my drive off because they couldnt possibly just wait for me to pull out first.

They arent going anywhere the lights are ****ing RED so what difference does it make if you are 6ft closer?!

****ing ******* and if I have had a bad day it wouldnt be the first time I have got out and made my feelings known to them....

Yup, especially people who let their horse **** all over the road and dont clear it up!

Why is it illegal for dogs to **** everywhere, but horses can **** where ever they want?! Really ****s me off, especially living out in the country.

Also peoples whose horses are scared of cars and loud noises, some girl the other day fell off because her horse was scared of my chattering as I lifted off as I came round the corner and saw her so lifted off and braked.

Dont take it on the road if it is ****ing scared
