One single thing that makes you think "knob" Vol 2
Discussion
The total Bellend in some old Hyundai on M25, J21, about 2.30 this afternoon. Why brake every time you see a gantry, in case there is a camera on it?
I wouldnt mind but for the fact there were no speed limits in force & we were travelling below NSL anyway!!!!
Oh & you were hogging L3.

The penis I've seen a few times now at my current work (corporate) who walks around with large 'beats by Dre' style Bluetooth fashion headphones on. He looks like he's on a fking audio tour, the utter berk.
Back in the day when bluetooth meant summit else, we had a REALTOR, (that should show you where I worked/lived), in our office and he would "parade" up and down the main corridoor, talking rather loudly on his new cellphone with one of those "star trek" ear pieces. I loved following him talking out aloud to myself........yes I know it was a tad knobbish but gimmeabreak..it was fun. king audio tour, the utter berk. mikal83 said:

...clips at the start and end of add' breaks. You're watching the Jeremy Kyle show with subtitles; starting to feel a little better about yourself and ten seconds of those stupid ugly people dancing around like they're on acid and I feel like walking out of the room, picking up my machete and killing everyone I meet until I die from exhaustion.
The Driver of an unmarked S-max that came flying up behind and sat about an inch from my bumper, I gave a flash of the hazards, blue lights came on I thought "st", overtook and sped off again, no blue lights on it's approach. On the other hand when I got the chance to overtake the lorry, he slowed to assist my pass, appreciated that and don't really get that often from slow vehicles.

To show how things have changed, I remember getting my first mobile back on 93 (Sony Marsbar) and taking my first incoming call in public. I was in the video shop and walked outside and down an alley way to answer it in private.Dom Jolly was funny then. People wouldn't get the phone gag now.
Fat middle aged man in a white A6 S-Line TDI with black alloys, playing crap music really loud and who came inches from my bumper.
We're then along side each other at a red light, he does everything to not look in my direction, tried to bully me but wont even look at me. Anyway, light goes green and he speeds off at a speed I have never seen anyone, not even police cars on calls in a busy city centre go.
If you read this, Mr A6 you look like a tt and drive like one, nobody was impressed, quite the opposite in fact.

4) the Enfield bus driver who took a sharp right bend too quick and cut the corner causing me and the car in front of me to stop suddenly then refused to move either forwards or backwards so we could all go about our day.
"can you move forward a couple of feet"
"No, I can wait here all day"
"So you want me to reverse but I can't because there are several cars behind me now"
"I don't want you to do nothin'"
"So you're just going to stay there"
"I can stay here all day
"Won't your passengers get annoyed"
"I can let them off"
and so on, and so on
should have took photos and made a complaint to his bus company. According to a bus progdamme on tv once they take them serisouly and if a driver gets more than (3 or something) they make them do a driver improvement course."can you move forward a couple of feet"
"No, I can wait here all day"

Driving home from work a moment ago knob in a knackered old nissan of some description who following another car towards me decides to follow the lead car out when moving around a parked car into my path despite car number 1 doing so being a bit tight (no problem with that we've all shot a gap we probably shouldn't have).
The look on his face when I came to an abrupt halt inches from him as he swerved back onto the correct side of the road was priceless.
Perhaps if you looked beyond the end of your questionable moustache when driving and followed the car in front at a sensible distance you would have seen me for the good 30 seconds that I would have been visible to you for and adjusted your speed so that you could move round the parked car after I had passed. Slow down, look a bit further ahead, apologise when someone saves you from a 70mph head on collision you are entirely responsible for and shave that fking tash off.

that's bad enough but the habit of blindly following other people making a manoeuvre without any idea what's coming the other way is plain madness. If I had been speeding to the extent that Mr moustache was or been in a car with less capable brakes eg his, best case I'd be on the phone to my insurance company now, worst case off to A&E all for a time saving of say 15 seconds maximum, bizarre mentality.Drivers seem to think they have the right to drive around stopped buses for example,when someone is coming the other

High vis jacket on the parcel shelf.
So that someone thinks you're a copper? Seriously? Knobs.
I used to think that, but thne I had the realisation - who with a high-viz jacket has actually said that's why they do it?So that someone thinks you're a copper? Seriously? Knobs.
Every person I've seen complain about high-viz on a parcel shelf has been assuming that it's so people think "cop!"
No-one has actually proved that was the thought process behind it.
The tt in the Pug 208 last night on the M40, I'm sat in L1 with the cruise set to 70. Really quiet on that stretch, not much traffic. He sits behind me for ages, then eventually pulls out and accelerates past, remaining in L2 as he disappears out of sight. About five minutes later I notice him ahead, still in L2 and I'm gaining on him. He randomly swerves around a bit, so the car flashes their brake lights before thinking to overtake and carry on. As I gain on him, I realise he must only be doing about 50, despite having passed me earlier doing around 80. I maintain my lane and speed, as I pass him he gets a healthy dose of my horn to attempt to wake him up to his surroundings. In my mirrors I see he pulls into L1, sits behind me for a while before later screaming past again at 80+. Never see him again, maybe I'm also a knob for using my horn not in accordance with the highway code or even maintaining my lane and passing on the left..
Second knob was some guy in a light blue Pug 207. Again, L1 with CC set to 70. He gingerly overtakes in L2, then completely gives up with the whole "foot on the accelerator" thing, as he matches my speed and then slows slightly, meaning I'm stuck alongside. I knock off the CC and give him a little tap of the horn, incase he's forgotten that I am infact in his blindspot as he's given up with the concept of overtaking me. He wakes up and looks in his NS mirror - no buddy, I won't be in there, you need to actually turn your head. Anyway he begins to pull away again, then as he overtakes a truck, randomly turns his rear foglights on, on a beautifully clear, dry night. So as I don't fancy having these in my face for the next few miles, he gets a quick flash of my main beams followed by a couple of flashes of my front fogs. He pulls into L2 for no reason, then turns his fogs out. I give him a courtesy flash to say thanks and he pulls back into L1, and disappears.

Another Ebay rant I'm afraid.
I put my car up for sale recently as there are a few issues,e.g., the clutch, suspension and some other more minor bits. Due these issues, I put the car up for auction as spares or repair, clearly stating the above faults and also pointing out that the MOT runs out in April. I also advised viewing before buying, so that everyone was happy and that buyer collects/cash on collection.
So far so good? Not really!!! In all my years, I've never encountered so many chancers, piss-takers and muppets as the shower I've had to to deal with in the last week.
First bloke that I dealt with came round and offered me £100, "Cos your only gonna scrap it, mate,innit?" Sorry, but what part of auction don't you understand?
One guy sent me several badly written, text speak emails and clearly didn't know how to turn off caps lock e.g., HOW MUCH U WONT M8 /
ILL DO YOU A GUD PRIZE M8 / CAN U DELIVR. WTF!! Have you not read the advert?
Another asked to view the car last weekend. I told him I'd be home between 1pm and 5pm. "OK, no problem, see you then" 5pm comes and still no show.I wait another 30 mins and then go out. At 6.45 I receive a call from the bloke "Hi, I'm outside your house, where are you?" He then has the cheek to call me a time waster and apparently "I tried to call, but you don't answer your phone".
What planet are these people from?
