People who don't understand how right turn filters work at traffic lights. If you don't cross the white line and move into the junction when the main lights are at green you won't activate the filter. I had to endure 3 f
king cycles of a set of lights on the way home tonight because the dosey bh in the Civic in front of me waited behind the stop line, despite the tooting and flashing of the angry old in the Escort behind her.*
Eventually I managed to reverse back and pull in front of her into the junction. Hey presto, the filter came on!

Not all Traffic Light filters work like that...king cycles of a set of lights on the way home tonight because the dosey bh in the Civic in front of me waited behind the stop line, despite the tooting and flashing of the angry old in the Escort behind her.*Eventually I managed to reverse back and pull in front of her into the junction.

kwit! - That may have been me
Some work on the induction loop and require a vehicle to be on it to activate the filter, some are on a timed cycle, some are even on a alternate sequence cycle due to traffic flow issues e.g. the filter only comes on the second or third cycle e.g the second cycle of R, RA, G, A, R - R, RA, G, Filter Arrow, A, R.
k would you put it after? Do these government type mouth breathers not even think of the various permutations properly to get traffic lights working properly? how damn hard is it? goes outside and beats up car with tree branch a la Basil Fawlty

dheads who don't read the signs for bus lanes and get all arsey with me for driving in a bus lane when the times state it isn't a bus lane, fking halfwits.
The signs are usually perfectly visible. They're retards. I just give them a cheery wave as I pass by on the inside.heads who don't read the signs for bus lanes and get all arsey with me for driving in a bus lane when the times state it isn't a bus lane, fking halfwits.nicanary said:

The fact that we have had weeks of virtually unceasing dry weather with a healthy dose of sunshine and you get to a bank holiday weekend and it FU@KING tips it down. Is it not to much to ask that for once we have a dry bank holiday? I could FU@KING st with anger.
I learned that rule many years ago, I never ever organise anything outside for one and mainly work Bank Holidays and take time out on other weekends/weekdays when the weather is better and it's less crowded.t with anger.Helps being self employed though....

My team, Charlton Athletic, failing to turn up for the game against Bournemouth yesterday. They gave us a right tanking, and were very good. Two up in fifteen minutes and superior in all departments.
I wish them well in the premier league.
You're a member of the team and play? I wish them well in the premier league.
Or are you one of those football fans that annoy me beyond reason when they say "we" and "us" for the team they support?

From WD39:
When one has supported a team since 1958, it is definitely 'we' and 'us'.
A mean spirited and rather unnecessary post.
Is the winking icon meant to soften the blow?

Customers that pay in change by placing it all on the counter.
So bloody rude, bloke in front of me at Starbucks buying drinks for him and his wife, came to about £7.
He pays all in coins, probably none greater than 50p and just drops them all down on the counter instead of placing them in her hand, so she had to slide them a few at a time off the counter.
Just seemed incredibly rude for no real reason.
This. I used to work in Co-op and people just putting the money down rather than handing it to you was one of my absolute biggest pet peeves. Just struck me as so rude and disrespectful; "eugh lowly shop-worker, I'm not touching your hand, goodness knows where you've been."So bloody rude, bloke in front of me at Starbucks buying drinks for him and his wife, came to about £7.

When someone did it to me I used to put their change down on the counter too, often after they've held out their hand for it.
Work in retail/customer service and it'll teach you that the customer is, in fact, not always right. Most of the time they're a prat.

FFS, put the phone down for 2 minutes and buy your ticket.
