One single thing that makes you think "knob" Vol 2
Discussion
A certain type of people who deliberately shuffle out into the street despite any cars bearing down on them. They very deliberately do this to show authority in a life that apparently has nothing going for it. They feel they have the power to halt a one-and-a-half-ton vehicle and need to exercise it, despite the fact that in an actual collision, they will lose every time.
Boobs that just throw open their doors into the traffic lane, especially a narrow one, without looking and waiting for a better moment than just as a car is approaching.
Knobs who pull out into the passing lane just in front of me as I’m coming through at a full head of steam, and then don’t pass the car they pulled out from behind.
Pinheads that feel they must turn very slightly in the direction opposite just before the one they’re actually going to go. ‘Yes, that Yugo is actually an 18-wheeler and you need that maneuver for clearance.’

A38 NSL dual carriageway, traffics light and I've cruise set at 70mph, theres no cars in front or behind except for a white 1 series in the distance behind me, perhaps 2 mile back in the outside lane, overtaking nothing. 1 series sits there for about 10 minutes gradually gaining on me, still no other traffic anywhere. Finally he catches me and begins the overtake he started miles back. As he just gets past he slows down, pulls left cutting me up, then takes the turnoff, causing me to brake and pull out round him. Knob.
The woman coming the other way around a corner this morning who was so shocked her Ka understeered that she started swearing in to her phone.
Sometimes in winter shaded corners are slippery.
The trick is to slow down a bit before the corner and put your phone down so you can steer.
Then if you do have a slide try correcting it rather than shouting what might be your last words in to your phone you massive 'tard.
I saw all this happen while driving at walking pace going the other way, which meant I had time and grip to get out of the way while she was using my side of the road.
The most scary thing for me is that I don't think she learnt anything from the experience.

Kind of marks a person out, doesn't it? In much the same way as Ferrari keyrings and CocaCola baseball caps, when you neither own a Ferrari, nor work for Coke. There are exceptions. Such as wearing the horrid yellow 'Dunlop' cap I was given at GFoS a few years back. a) because it was free, and b) because I wear it deliberately when I want to get my own way. (My missus hates it, and will therefore do almost anything to avoid being seen in public with me and "that awful hat")

I see this a lot as you turn left at Hinton Charterhouse crossroads (Left turn to the A36, right to Wellow, straight on to Norton st. Philip). Everyone seems to take a massive bite. Yeah, cos your Corsa has the turning circle of a supertanker. Jesus. Even my GF manages to get the Passat round there without taking out the wall!Cliftonite said:

One single thing that makes me think "knob"?
I don't know if 'knob' is the correct adjective to describe a 'woman'. But.
The poodle-permed (late)middle-aged Brian May lookalike woman-thing behind me this morning. I was waiting here { http://goo.gl/maps/i1ecr } to turn right this morning. She was in a white Mini behind me, and obviously in some form of a hurry.
Message to you, Peroxide-bonced bint. I get to decide when it is safe to pull out onto the road ahead. Not you. This is mainly because I have a better view of what traffic is approaching, and at what velocity. Don't you f
king dare toot your horn and mouth the words "Oh come on, for fk's sake" at me. I can see you in my mirror, and can hear the horn well enough. You only have the fact that my wife was in the seat beside me, and the fact that she is very non-confrontational, to thank for the fact that I decided not to deliberately 'stall' the car (using the 'power' button on the dash). I would have taken great delight in going through the motions of popping the bonnet to look for the (non-existent) problem while you frothed at the mouth, you rabid freak-bh.
I don't care why you were late, or what you were late for. Your failure to plan your day is no reason for me to take a risk emerging unsafely from a junction, simply so you can get on with your day. I like my car the shape it is, without any extra dents and scratches. And no. I didn't 'childishly' drive at the speed limit down Sandy Lane. I ALWAYS stick to the limit down there, mainly because there are almost always youngsters around at that time of the morning, but also because it's a favourite place for Police speed traps when the mood takes them. I seriously hope one of them catches you out one day, although it will probably only serve to increase your persecution complex.
Stupid, Stupid, Stupid (*insert whatever the female equivalent of 'knob' is).
Oh! I forgot to add.
That 'u-turn' you did round the roundabout at the junction with Fernhill Road? { http://goo.gl/maps/3MIBH } You might find that if you control the entry speed, and inflate your tyres to the correct pressure, then you won't understeer toward the kerb. Slow in, fast out?
Did I already say "Stupid" enough times??

What I have seen, time and time again, in threads like this is when somebody is abused for specifying something that irrationally makes them think "knob". It makes me rationally think "knob".
Fair enough if the original thing is , oh I don't know, "DRLs in daylight, really arse me off". Flame away, it's obviously a daft thing to say. The other extreme is "incorrect use of foglights". Fine, it might be depressing to read about it every third post but it's at least as depressing to look out the window of a morning, see a light mist and just know what's coming.
Like I say, the thing that really makes me think "knob" is seeing a response such as "well if that's all you've got to worrry about, you're soooo lucky" (not really got the point of the thread?) or "well, my priorities and opinions differ to yours and that doesn't upset me, therefore you're a knob" (erm, people are different?).
That and incorrect use of fog-lights, obviously (light mist this morning). Oh and the cock in the C30 who turned off at Witham. You're fat, your goatee looks st and your driving was retarded.
Cheers, Jim

You are doing 65 mph in a Motorway L1 with very light traffic. You see a car quite a way ahead in L1 and catch up to it slowly maintaining 65 mph. As you get close enough, you pull out in to L2, hoping to nip past without changing speed as you feel that the speed differential with which you caught up to it would be more than enough to complete the overtake quickly enough. About 30 seconds later, you are still overtaking the car, who suddenly appears to be doing the same speed as you.
As you draw level with them, you realise that you are never going to get past at 65 mph, promptly put your foot down and proceed to overtake your new found 'lane buddy' at a speed differential of more than 15 mph before settling down at 65 mph again, and watch them slowly disappear in your rear-view mirror.
It's as if they've suddenly woken up or may be they feel lonely and want to hold on to you for as long as possible. It feels like you could be there alongside them forever if you are not prepared to change speed and even if you gradually increase speed by 5 mph, they still seem to match your speed, determined to keep you alongside. The only way to get rid of them is to do a short burst of acceleration to put a few yards between you and them, then they go back to sleeping. You can tell, as the gap now increases at the same rate as when you caught up to them, even though you have now quickly dropped down to your original speed. Just bizarre, zombie behaviour. Just bloody keep to the same speed as you were doing when I caught up to you, you knob, and let me past!
This type of behaviour must be the even more annoying if you have cruise control engaged.

Yup. Some people CAN get away with it. The difference primarily being that they are BEING PAID to display the sticker on their car, whereas most of the twunts who have one actually pay someone else for the sticker. Advertising someone else's business, and paying for the dubious 'privilege'. HMMM.
Kind of marks a person out, doesn't it? In much the same way as Ferrari keyrings and CocaCola baseball caps, when you neither own a Ferrari, nor work for Coke. There are exceptions. Such as wearing the horrid yellow 'Dunlop' cap I was given at GFoS a few years back. a) because it was free, and b) because I wear it deliberately when I want to get my own way.
