Things that annoy you beyond reason...? [Vol 3]
Discussion
Given the time of year with farm machinery on the roads the morons who are physically unable to contemplate overtaking under any circumstances, you know the scenario, straight A-road, clear day, line of 10 cars following a tractor because the prat at the front of the line feels somehow unable to overtake a tractor doing about 15mph, often idiot N2 won't risk overtaking 2 vehicles even if they are going 15, then after that no one will overtake.
I genuinely think there are drivers out there who have never performed an overtaking manoeuvre. Probably the same ones who can't reverse, or park.

It is amazing how many people sit in slow moving traffic down this section of the A30 near Penzance when there is plenty of space to make a 3rd lane. Used it to good effect when down there last I genuinely think there are drivers out there who have never performed an overtaking manoeuvre. Probably the same ones who can't reverse, or park.

Click bait crap.
"79 year old woman has amazing skin of a 20 year old that big manufacturers don't want you to know about"
"20 year old makes $20 trillon a year at home. Heres how"
"They opened the door and what they found inside will amaze you"
Usually with some totally unassociated photo.
They are getting worse than spam Email.

And the idiot fking websites that have them as a "pop over" that you need to "click to enter site" - you click "close" and it spawns a pop up. The location aware ones really bug me "The <local> woman lost 45lbs in a week of eating this magical unicorn st""79 year old woman has amazing skin of a 20 year old that big manufacturers don't want you to know about"

And those websites that have a scrolling advert that blocks what it is you're reading no matter how you scroll.
Online advertising is getting worryingly clever - I went to the Rugby Banter website via a link from Friendface and when I clicked to get rid of the pop over, my Symantec anti virus had a dicky fit.

My parents' cleaner.
She has cleaned for them since I was in my teens. I just phoned the house and she answered the phone.
She lives ONLY for gossip. And the mundane ste that she just told me about people I don't know was boring enough.
But to be that bit more useless she told me things about my sister from her childhood. As if I wasn't there and don't know my sister better than she does. Especially since most of it was complete rubbish.
I couldn't stand her when I was 14 and she'd tell people I didn't know anything she could glean from my parents about me and I can't stand her telling me rubbish about how my sister recovered from breaking her arm when she was nine years old.
I only called to ask my dad if I could borrow his strimmer.

Rubberneckers, or as I like to call them; nosey fking c**ts.
"Oh look, an accident on the other side of the motorway. I must slow right down and take a look on the off chance that someone has been horribly maimed. bks to everyone behind me, you can all wait while I have a good old look."
I hate these aholes. I hate them so much.

I find it's best to get yourself into lane 1,which is likely to be empty and you can,carefully proceed"Oh look, an accident on the other side of the motorway.

fking get on with it, or get out of my way.
Sadly with the popularity of biking and DAS you'll have to put up with muppets commuting like they're in a car or riding like they have stabilisers on. "Oh no, oh no, a corner. What am I going to do!"fking get on with it, or get out of my way.
On a completely unrelated note.
