When i'm in a queue to pay for something at the till and the person at the front takes their change and stands there playing with it, putting it in some kind of order and into it's 'special places'.
Just take the change as it's given you, sort it out somewhere else and get out of the way so others can get served quicker.....

The Complete this morning that I was stuck behind who thought it appropriate to do 35-40mph for the entire 60 limit road this morning, followed by 25-30 when the limit dropped to 50. Then when pulling onto the DC (70mph limit) attempted to merge with traffic at 40mph. Sadly all the overtaking stretches had oncoming traffic so I was unable to make an overtake 
The idiot in the golf that over took me and the car in front and the slowpoke so late that he had to anchor up on the shell grip just before a roundabout.
Now it was raining a bit, but its the sort of rain that makes you increase your safe stopping distance gap a bit rather than actually slow down. There must have been 20+ cars behind this idiot (all I could see in my mirrors was a long line of headlights).
Given the speed he was driving at if I were a policeman I would have pulled him over and requested a breath test.

Just checked to see if you live in Suffolk as this is the standard of driving. 50 is the new 60! this morning that I was stuck behind who thought it appropriate to do 35-40mph for the entire 60 limit road this morning, followed by 25-30 when the limit dropped to 50.

I was stuck in a queue of traffic that was following this 99 yr old doing 15-25 mph on the main A12.
I think there should be a law that removes these people off the road.

Along with having to verify your age on said phone, the phone you have on contract with the company, so they know how old you are. log out of hotmail on my 'phone, get the vodafone content control screen - for why I don't know...has the msn uk homepage all of a sudden become an adult site?

Bristol's Traffic
0.4miles covered in 55mins, 4mile journey covered in 1hr 22mins.
Would be quicker to walk.0.4miles covered in 55mins, 4mile journey covered in 1hr 22mins.
Why not walk?Dropping the kiddo off at at nursery is also really easy on foot - no problem at all.
Oh then there's my client meetings between Bristol and The City...
People use cars because they need them.
I ordered a soft toy for my daughter (a puppy - yes, another one in case anyone remembers what happened last year) - what arrived in the "lovingly hand packed and checked" was a bear. That stank of cigarette smoke - It really honked.
The seller has said I can keep it and they're sending out the correct item, but how anyone can think sending out the wrong item that stank is ok is a complete mystery to me.
