One single thing that makes you think "knob" Vol 2
Discussion
The guy in the Peugeot earlier today, (about 4.20pm), who decided to do a u turn on the A71 DC heading to Irvine by using the old gap in the central reservation that has been filled in by bollards and a bit of the verge.
Slow/stopped traffic must be too much for him to cope with. I prayed for the knob to get stuck on the verge but sadly he made it over.

Hearing people proudly boasting that they never use the horn on a car as if this is something to be proud of, rather than demonstrating that they lack road sense / awareness.
Huh?I would be surprised if I used the horn as often as twice a year.
How does this demonstrate a lack of awareness?

No not at all. This kind of behaviour really does grind my gears but I don't extract some strange satisfaction from it like you seem to do so readily.I thought yellowjack was some belligerent troll but lately pretty much every post I've read he comes across as a sensible decent guy.
Hol, this is definitely the new troll name. This is like the 3rd post in as many weeks where you've needlessly been a bellend.
All in my opinion of course and everyone's entitled to a differing one.

The Mexican wave of brake lights as people driving past a chavtivity house panic because they see the blue and white flashing LED fairy lights and think it's the emergency services. 
It isn't panic, they are doing a Christmas tour.We used to take our kids on a tour of the local council estate every year to see the lights...
...so your kids can go "wooo" and "ahhhh" is probably worse than absentmindedly thinking it's an emergency service vehicle in your mirrors.
Had a very strange encounter with a Saxo driver last night. I'd stopped at the side of a quiet road, alongside some spaces which could only be accessed by a very high kerb. I was only picking up something from a friend, so I decided not to risk driving up the kerb, stuck my park anywhere lights on and walked off. There was still plenty of space for cars to pass on either side but still, +1 knob point for me 
I walked away from the car, and I saw a silver Saxo pull up slowly behind it and just sit there. I waited for a bit to see if he was just taking his time going around my car, but he continued to just sit there. So, I walked up to his window and asked if he wanted to park in one of the spaces, and apologised for blocking them. He barely looked at me but his whole manner was really spaced out, as if he was either very drunk or on drugs (couldn't smell anything like that though). He simply said "no", and continued sitting there. So, I walked a few metres away and sat there watching him to see what he'd do.
After a minute or so, he extremely slowly drove around my car, and turned off at a junction at the end of the road. I don't think he ever went over 5MPH the entire time I was watching him. It was very, very odd - I suspect he'd taken some sort of drug but who knows!

I wish you and Yellowjack all the best together in your new life with BOTH of you accusing people like playalistic of writing or saying something they haven't.
If it upsets you when someone points out when you do it - bad luck.

I just realised. You are one of his pedal power chums
That explains everything

Sat on the M60, think it's closed due to an accident. About ten assorted blue lights have gone past on the hard shoulder. People are out their f
king cars and wandering around the carriageway. Clearly you don't have the chance to do that often, but just fking stop it and get back in your fking Toyota Corolla so we are all ready to go when the fking time comes. If every in front did it, and then went "ooo st" and ran back to their car when it all opens again, I'll be sat here for an extra half an hour at least. Stupid bds.

Good argument.
Poor inventiveness - it all seems a bit too sensible to me. More about their mothers next time, too, if you want a 10.
Me.
The people over the road are doing some building work. This means they have a skip occupying the space immediately outside their house. I've noticed a couple of screws that have failed to make it into the skip and have kept reminding myself not to park there.
Today I forgot:
Hopefully it's repairable.

The mini rejoining the a55 from the Gateway to Wales Services tonight.
Was accelerating reasonably briskly ahead of me, I'm in L1, no problem as its going to join well ahead of me.
Ok, getting closer now, seems to have taken their foot off the gas, I'm reeling them in somewhat. I ease off to allow a greater gap, they're still 4/5 lengths ahead at this point. I'm in a Jimny, going faster isnt an option.
They then decide to BRAKE so much that the gap disappears and we end up alongside each other.
Absolute indecisive knobs who wouldn't know confident safe driving if it slammed them up their stupid ugly fat smelly arse.

Looks repairable. But looks close to minimum depth. Risk of knob call for illegal tyres
I've actually just been out and checked because the picture does make them look pretty low. But they're really not! Circa 6mm across the everything I can reach...as I'd hope given that they've only got about 8k on themGassing Station | General Gassing | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
