Would it be me coming into work or my boss that would have given me a hard time if I hadn't? frown
Or the company rules that state you'll have lose a days pay for ringing in sick.
That's a big one, I think. The people who are I'll would probably rather not be there, but if it going to cost you money, you are more inclined to.

People that see someone driving an old car and simply pull out or cut in front.
I had that once, the knob was surprised when on the next straight I blasted past him...
I must admit that's quite satisfying. Especially when it's a white Audi or a Toureg.
Cars were also surprised when I out cornered them. Due to the fact that A) The Triumph's brakes are relatively awful, so no point braking B) Conservation of momentum and C) I have more confidence in the handling of that car than the Passat's!

Male driving a white Merc, reg number NJ62 SBX, north across the Tyne Bridge just after midday today.

Cutting a red light on entering the bridge was bad enough, had I pulled away from my junction on green you would have hit me - luckily I saw you coming so waited before pulling out. You then drove at a speed well over the 40mph to get in front of two buses on the bridge itself, swerved to get in front of them and took a very hasty exit to leave the central motorway.

I'm guessing you were rushing for the match?

The manoeuvres were bad enough in busy traffic but taking into account you had a space saver on your front drivers side, and a child in the car, makes you a knob.

Nowhere near as dangerous or bad as that Merc driver sounds (pretty terrible frankly), this one's a "laugh or you'll cry one": the person in Rushmoor Borough Council who (no doubt) spent a while deliberating and decided that car park spaces should be denoted by dashed lines instead of solid lines (the terribly important decisions one has to make in the course of a days work, eh?) and moreover, then decided that they needed to go and fix the solid lines by painting grey bits on them:

Why's the E38 a knob? Number plate?

Taking a week off work for 'just a cold' would be frowned upon in pretty much every workplace.

..which shows just how daft most workplaces can be, especially when it's perfectly possible to work from home, as it is at our place. Stay at home, and the company loses a couple of days productivity. Come into work, infect 20 other people, and the company loses a few weeks productivity.

Yeah, last week one of the guys came into work with a cold. His job is mostly doable by phone and email. Dave, the guy that makes the products (tiny factory) sounded incredibly bunged up on Friday. Luckily I was out doing servicing work so I didn't get the bug as well.

Waitrose Bracknell car park.

Car entering behind me ignores the one-way marking to get to a space nearer the door. Bearing in mind it has been piddling down here, he gets out with flip flops and ultra thin football type shorts......knob ( but typical Bracknell)

A1 northbound after J51 this morning, visibility well below 100m due to heavy fog. There's people driving with no lights on, never mind fogs! Madness.

not sure what is worse the fog light brigade when there is a slight mistiness or no fogs in full fog.

The wkstain in one of those Mercedes buses with the bonnets who was behind me in a traffic jam who decided to start honking at me for not blocking a busy junction which inconvenienced him because he couldn't overtake the queue to go right.
When he did overtake he caused an Astra to stop in the road so he didn't have a head on collision, you are a complete knob.

Nottingham City Council, do you just let anyone drive the buses?

The 10% of drivers (that's an estimate) that don't understand when to use rear fog lights, just spent 3.5 hours having my eyes assaulted at regular intervals on the A1 this evening.

Knobs the lot of them!

Yes, people and lights are pissing me off at the minute, if it's not people who think they're fine driving around in their silver or grey car in dim weather while it's raining without any lights on at all, it's knobs who must think they're driving through a whitesnake video, FFS it's the smallest amount of fog imagineable, and bam all fog lights are on, and stay on until they get to work, and since they don't switch them off, they'll be on full blast on the way home as they're too oblivious to it.

Just sit behind them with the main beams on! I followed an Audi a6 with his rear and front fogs on for 2 miles this morning (nice clear morning) so I had my main beam on the whole way.
