Default What grinds your gears

So on my way home from work after doing a 14 hour shift, im sitting behind a london bus, fiesta, and seat leon. The douchebag in the seat leon decides that its a clever idea to over take the fiesta and the bus on a blind bend with a traffic island. You can take a guess at what happens next, yep another car coming the opposite way and bang so after a 14 hour shift im now stuck with another 2 patients to deal with.

Its annoyed me as just round that blind corner the road opens up to a dual carriageway so for the sake of 5 seconds he endangers his life as of those of the public.

Oh well watch our insurance go threw the roof because of donuts like him. Still the police will probably be interested to talk to him when hes fit

Completely agree.

Along with bikers who think it is clever to over take on solid whites, under take on the hard shoulder, and generally breathe.

And people who flash at you after you over take them when they have been doing 25mph in a 60 for the last 15 miles...

people who seem to do their personal banking from a cash machine,

enter pin code, withdraw cash, simple.

how can people spend more than 5 mins in front of one, on a busy Saturday is beyond me.

they should be hunted down like dogs and shot.

The bell end who decided that combining petrol retailing with a mini supermalrket so that when you want to pay for your fuel quickly and go you are subjected to queueing behind Little Old Mrs Near Death doing her weekly shop and moving stuff from the basket to the counter at a speed only recordable via time lapse photography!

Just about everyone I'm working with at the moment, moaning about its cold - its October ffs, the temp drops. And most seem to be completely lacking direction and drive as well.

Err, yes that's the point I was making! Must of = must have, could of = could have. I didn't spell it out as I assumed the educated masses on SN knew what I was referring to!

Politicians. ALL of them, even local councillors. I hate, loathe and despise the lot of them, self-serving prikcs. When DID those we elect to serve us become our masters???

People who do 40mph in a 60mph zone, then CONTINUE at 40mph through a 30mph zone.

People who travel at the limit on "A" roads, then come up behind someone doing 40mph, and REFUSE TO PASS HIM!!!!

People who come up behind you at speed on a dual carriageway after dark, then insist on sitting behind you, matching your speed exactly....WHY??????

Other people's intolerances.

Jesting of course. I thinks it is good to moan on the internet, saves the other half's ears/patience. Also good to see I'm not the only Mr. Meldrew-type.

This above, it drives me mad. I've (only just and at the last minute) seen about 5 cyclists this week with no lights, dark clothing and weaving all over the open road in the dark. Soon to be Darwin Award nominees.

Oh, and all the feckin trees that I'm still having to avoid on the way into work in the morning, plus the other drivers in oncoming traffic who keep swerving into my lane to avoid said trees as they are not checking the road ahead is clear first.

Bad manners and cyclists on the FOOTpath, especially when they expect pedestrians to move into the road to get out of their way
