Sooperstar Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Use this thread to get things of your chest. Mine for the day is: People trying to get in the lift whilst you are walking out. Trumpets. Worst thing is when they stop walking in after realising there's someone in the lift needing out, but then start walking again before you're out. Was going to say it's similar to people getting on the bus as you're getting off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Lyon Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Agree with the bus and lift scenarios. But my main gripe today and most days is my wife and son's inability to open the dishwasher door and put in the dishes they have struggled to bring to the kitchen! Must jut be too much for them. Oh and those bus passengers, predominantly women, who despite being at the bus stop wait until they are on the bus before finding and getting their purse out to get the fare!

Same scenario with cash machines. Especially when they see you're going to the machine as well, speed up to get there first, and THEN start to rummage through their bags. I could be away by the time they find their card. Then there's the whole 'insert card, enter pin, get ministatement, retrieve card, examine ministatement, reinsert card, enter pin, get cash' nonsense. What's that all about?

Puts the myth that women can multi task to bed. They do it in all queues. Supermarkets, train stations. I will say again female logic is no logic at all. The creme de la creme is the fact it is never their fault and when it comes to personal responsibility they have no idea what it is. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trotter Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 folk who undertake you on the motorway. bugs the hell out me. i try my best not to let them back in and succeeded in my mission a couple of weeks back. they guy was NOT impressed But look at it this way: if there was room for them to undertake, there was room for you to move over.... My gripe is wuckfits on roundabouts trying to get off at a busy exit. If they see they can't get off, rather than wait in the middle so you can pass in front of them and take another exit, they sit right in front of you blocking you in. Then they then pretend they can't see you so they stare straight ahead while you're beeping horn/flashing lights/giving them the finger/etc/etc. rant over!!

Yes, I know it's a repeat gripe but it's a serious one. Out of interest, simmy, do you ever use the indicators on your car? I have a hunch that there's a high correlation between middle (or outside) lane hoggers and drivers who rarely use their indicators except maybe at the last second when the wheel has been turned.

Best bit is, if they stopped looking at us doing it and actually paid attention to the road signs they would see for themselves what times it is or is not operational.... On the subject of non-operational bus lanes - don't you hate it when a two lane road becomes one + bus lane and the people in the inside lane just pull out in front of you even though its HALF PAST BLOODY NINE AT NIGHT!!!!!

OI I hope you are not talking about anyone in particular.....?!?! I have never done that....I hate when people do.... should have to queue again for each transaction. My own personal hatred is when people stop abruptly whilst walking down the street, thus causing you to have to make a major swerve(or in few cases actually walk in to them) and they tut because you almost (or did) walk into them...!

My worst gripe however is roundabouts!! Why the fekk is it so damn difficult to understand how lanes on a roundabout works ffs??????? I oftne get people on my left hand side going straight on at a roundabout, no problem with that at all because there are normally 2 lanes to get round, however they seem to feel a need to wander into my friggin lane and almost take my wing out nearly every bloody day!!!!

Right hand lane's for going straight on or right (assuming a 4 road junction). Cannae complain at all about them sticking to the Highway Code. Drifting out of lanes anywhere is punishable by a sharp toot on the horn and a fearsome wave of the clenched fist - perhaps even with a finger or two showing proud. You can usually see the guys that are going to do this well ahead - either get right up inside them early, forcing them to stay in their lane, or hang back and watch it all kick off - following the toot & loose salute procedure as deemed necessary. p.s.
