chelsea Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 mine are mostly driving ones. middle lane hoggers on the motorway people who dont indicate at roundabouts people who dont indicate at all Chavvy young lads who tailgate you sales reps who think they own the road shops - people who stand in aisles chatting why are people in the fruit/veg section ALWAYS pondering in front of the stuff you want checkout staff who scan your shopping too quick - you're struggling to pack it and she's waiting for your money general - door to door canvassers - if I want something, I will chose when and where i get it from! why is it whenever im on holiday/days off from work - everyone else is?!

The Dogmother Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Chelsea? Are we sisters? I rant about all of those too. Phil and I always rant about bad driving; we have a fair division of labour - one of us drives and the other rants - works for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 My motoring bugbear is stopping to let someone pass when they have the right of way, then they stop for you. There will be a moments pause, and then you both dither forward, pause again and dither forward again. I then flash and gesticulate politely and wait for them to go. Why do they do this, it is such a waste of time if it is their right of way. Not wanting to generalise but I've noticed that they usually have a trilby on their head and a pipe clenched between their teeth. Oh...and I can't abide total strangers who take it upon themselves to wave their arms about and "guide" me into a parking space. I can park perfectly well thank you. I wind down the window and politely ask them to stop as they are distracting me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmandaR Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Ohhh, what annoys me... People who daydream at traffic lights...usually at the ones which only let 3 cars through at a time. People who don't realise at roundabouts that you give way to the right and it ends up in a stand off...you go...no you go! Surly shop keepers...do you want my money or not? The telephone calls you get at the most inconvenient time to tell you 'CONGRATULATIONS, you have won a holiday!' , I get at least one a day and I'm registered with the telephone preference service. And for those that like myself, run their own business...customers who don't pay on time - Oh, the cheque was sent, haven't you got it?, The person who signs off the accounts has been on holiday for the past 6 months and there is absolutely noone else in the company who can authorise payments etc AND that's on top of everything everyone else has mentioned. SIGH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bantam of the Opera Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Eugh and on teh subject of driving, i am a learner and i try my best and i drive quite fast sometimes but people ALSWAYS overtake me and jsut assume that because im a learner im going to stall or blowup or something. I go 30 in a 30mph zone and people just overtake me. do they forget how intimidating and stupid you feel when youre learning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil and I always rant about bad driving; we have a fair division of labour - one of us drives and the other rants - works for us. hee hee, I like a good moan. We also have a good moan in the car too!....im also a very annoying "back seat driver" when hubby is driving. Im always shouting "its alright to pull out" at junctions and "tractor coming" if we are on a country lane....I think hubby dispairs of me sometimes!

Couperman Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 People who can't turn right! It really annoys me when people don't position their car correctly when turning right so that everyone else can pass on the left. There is a particular junction in town, if theres a long queue it is always because some pillock is waiting to turn right and has blocked the entire road so the whole town has to wait for them Level crossings If there are less than 5 people on a train it should have to wait for a gap in the traffic. I know that is a bit ridiculous but it really annoys me to have to wait 5-10 minutes for a train to pass just to see that there is no-one on it! The crossing seems to be down more than open. And if anyone else calls me from a call centre in outer Mongolia and tries to tell me with a thick Mongolian accent his name is Derek or Alan I will scream! Why do the call centres insist on making their operatives use an English name? I don't hang up them because they are from exotic places I do it because I do not want what they are selling and would rather finish my tea in peace or I simply cannot understand them. Thats better Kev. Kev. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I avoid turning right when I am driving I also hate driving around those huge roundabouts you see at motorway junctions which have traffic lights on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 I avoid turning right when I am driving I once went out with my mum when she hadnt been driving for long and she was really nervous driving. She actually found it impossible to turn right so went left - great fun -we went for miles turning left, when one right turn would have done. I ended up making her get out of the car so I could drive and get us back in 2 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
