People that stand at pedestrian crossings press the button then cross in a gap in traffic. 30 seconds later the lights go red and there's no one crossing.

Blame the right-on council twerps who set the crossings to wait longer than pedestrians will, "frustrate and annoy drivers" and all that.

How about the ignorant fkwits who congregate for a conversation on the pavement at a Zebra crossing.... Are they waiting to cross, aren't they? Am I stopping?

I think you need this to ease your fevered brow.

Several threads on the subject.

The people who want to join a road but just sit there even when cars on both sides of the road stop to let them out, no doubt they are reading a different section of pistonheads complaining about lack of courtesy on the roads.

And people who pull out in front you and then don't accelerate...why!!

There's a crossing near the office in London - Near Vauxhall bus station - I've watched it. There is only just enough time for an able bodied person to cross over, never mind if you're old. I've seen the traffic lights change to green when there's still an old fella crossing...

They just want to be first. Its like people who don't like being overtaken, they don't like someone getting in front of them.

Good! That way the stationary traffic can go as soon as he is across.

When you're watching something on your Sky box, and it's the adverts and you suddenly remember that it's recorded and you can fast forward the rest of them. That's annoying.

Not being able to wash my car as got bad back

[Dyl]

People who park on the opposite side of the road, i.e. facing oncoming traffic, with their headlights on, dazzling everyone driving towards them.

[Hooli]

The excuse for intelligent life infesting most parts of the UK.

[Cobnapint]

People that park on your side of the road with their hazards flashing, in a line of parked cars, so it looks like they are indicating to come out.

Re people being over taken - near work is a dual carriageway ends with a roundabout. When going straight across the lane merge into one after the r/about. Although people seem happy for you to be passing then in the right lane as soon as you cross the roundabout and they detect you might end up in front of them - they floor the car and aggressively try to stop you from pulling in front. Bizarre behaviour. Same people who don't understand "merge in turn" signs

[Stuck In A Lift]

Motorway maintenance vehicles, and the inconsiderate fkwits who drive them. I say drive in its loosest possible term.

[JonRB]

British people who pronounce the word schedule the way the Americans do, as "SKed-yule" rather than the British "Shed-yule".

It annoys me beyond reason. Yes, it shouldn't, but it does. So 'on topic'.

[MissChief]

People who think sidelights and fog lights is acceptable instead of just using dipped headlights.

Likewise, also it never bothers me when yanks say it their way, just our sellouts.
But given the media dominance US culture has it should't be that annoying or surprising.
As for word spellchecker that insists on reverting to US English spelling no matter how often i reset it in Windows H-eight at setting level. GRRRRR.

My missus Its the Tudor Sports Car Championship live on Motors TV, i told her a couple of weeks ago this is the equivalent of a Wembley cup final for me as I've been watching the build up all season and Viper and SRT are in with a shout at taking the championship.

So now the TV channel has been changed so she can watch the Fckn X factor
