All the above & the Spanner this morning that left their non LPG CAR @ LPG pump to buy breakfast & coffees, not really needed judging by the size of the horrible Lard Acensorede

Came back after a good 5 minutes munching some sort of goat entrail sandwich & seemed so surprised someone was waiting for the pump.

Wcensoredr
That used to wind me up no end with my last car especially as the nearest station only had 1 LPG pump. Now I just get annoyed at the price of a tank of V Power:|

Sunday drivers, just fk off.
Twice I was repeatedly flashed by old women in Hondas after passing them in the second lane of the M25 and returning to the left-hand lane (a good two car lengths ahead of them, mind).

I have absolutely no idea why but it's not the first time I've experienced it.
No wonder you get flashed.
Eh?
You pull in after overtaking on a motorway 'a good two car lengths ahead of them'?
Nearly empty motorway, about a +20mph speed difference(so ~9m/s faster), I don't think a leaving ~10m gap before beginning to move back into the left-hand lane is irresponsibly small but happy to be corrected. It's about ten times the gap lorry drivers leave when passing each other at one tenth of the speed difference.

Edited by ManOpener on Thursday 12th May 13:20
I would say it's too close imho.
Agree. At motorway speeds leave plenty of room before moving back in.

People with satnavs and loads of crap directly in their field of vision on the windscreen, saw one guy who I assume was a minicab driver with five suction mounted devices (2 phones, a satnav, dashcam and something I couldn't work out) all just above the steering wheel blocking a lot of the screen.
really wish they would clamp down on these idiots,

as a cabby myself I went out my way to make sure my taxi datahead and satnav are both dash mounted not window mounted. its not difficult.

even more annoying when yo see them bang in the middle of their field of vision, you just want to drag them out the car and choke them to death with their tomtom power lead

The stupid old bint who decided she had waited long enough at a 3 way set of traffic lights , before the 3rd set had changed to let the cars out of the side road at the roadworks... Nearly taking the first driver out in the process...she then had the temerity to wildly gesticulate at him...unbelievable

classic from facebook, shared by someone i know but written by someone else:

"So we now have to register to vote in the EU referendum. The dirty cheating crooked bds never told us this. Register by 7 June online at Gov.uk/register-to-vote. If u dont register u dont vote. Tell every out voter u know about this"

what a fking retard. Yes it's not only a secret conspiracy that you have to register in order to vote and not completely your fault for being thick as fk at all, and also you've just exposed yourself as someone who is pretending to be "politically active" and yet has clearly never voted in their life. Absolute tit. Perfectly sums up the angry, poorly educated, lazy and ignorant idiots that are alarmingly commonplace in our country. Beautifully horrific in a way.

That's pretty special, like the electoral roll is some sort of secret government list.

that reminds me - when i'm waiting in the queue for the drinks machine and the guy or girl in front has one of those stupid plastic things with the multiple cup holes and is busy getting 8 little cups of tea that take 30 seconds each to take over to the group of people on their desk 20 feet away. Perish the thought that i might suggest breaking the 'round' that you've been in since 1998 but it would be a bit fairer to everyone else. People getting 8 coffees in coffee shops pretty similar issue but at least it doesn't block the queue!!
THIS.

This knobisness really winds me up, especially if I go to get a coffee during my (already short) break and end up spending 98% of it waiting for some knob to fill up 8 odd cups.
The first rule of Office Coffee Club is....

Don't be so fking lazy, get your own sodding coffee wink

Well after a week of some really iffy driving the highlights -

Top prize goes to the impatient bell end in the Fiesta that just couldn't sit behind a slightly battered Suzuki Vitara as they approached the roundabout on the A689 wanting to go off down the A177 towards Stockton (and keeping in mind there was a line of traffic in front of them) for oo all of two minutes before he undertook them then promptly cut them up by barging back in front of them (and judging by the movement of the car it looked like they didn't even look in their mirrors before doing it either).

A smattering of prizes to the various motorists, including an artic, who had got caught up in the gridlock on the A689, like I was, (Hartlepool side of the A19) thanks to an accident between a motorbike (Triumph I think) and a Fiesta on the A19 and decided that, rather than wait, they'd turn around and drive over the central (grass) reservation on to the opposite dual carriage, giving some poor buggers using the opposite carriageways a couple of brown trouser moments (especially the artic driver).

The gridlock wasn't helped by a lot of things but the light sequencing on the interchange didn't help, combined with vehicles wanting to join the gridlocked A19 and blocking access across the interchange and people at the roundabout just before the interchange trying to get in the central lane to cross the A19 and get on A689. The woman that damn near cut my nose off was more interested in what was happening on the clear side of the roundabout than the traffic around her, my presence didn't even register with her.

The worst bit is that I only want a cup of water. There are no water fountains or any other ways to dispense drinking water. However the coffee from those machines is just foul and the tea isn't much better. I really judge the people that drink it! The coffee bar downstairs at least serves fresh coffee and I'd only go there. Another annoyance is when someone pushes the cappuccino button and then retrieved the cup like a mong, spreading frothed milk powder all over the nozzle. I then go to get a water and there's minging pretend coffee froth on the cup rim or swimming in my drink.

The driver (and passenger) of a rather nice Maserati convertible who thinks it's acceptable to hoon past everyone at 80 plus on the M3 on a Sunday evening in the masses returning to London.....

Then slows to a crawl in the hard shoulder to put the hood up.

Then hoons past everyone again.

It was beautiful, sunny and no hint of rain coming...

What on earth were you thinking? Couldn't you pull off the motorway, or into Hook services? Not the hard shoulder ffs.

I look past the cars worth, when I see behaviour like this ^^.


It could be a ratty old £500 MX5, but it will still come down to the drivers opinion of their own self importance.

Little Miss Range Rover owner (please note the use of the word owner not driver).

Blacked out rear windows, sunglasses and act all surprised that you couldn't see me as you reversed out of your drive and shout as you overtake as it's obviously my fault you were dropped on your face as a child.

Lucky I was cycling. If I had been in my car I wouldn't have been able to avoid the back of your soccer player special. rolleyes

I had a few days at my mothers in norfolk.
I was getting fed up with the idiots on nsl roads doing 25/30 around any sort of bend. I'm not talking blind bends i'm talking any bend including long sweeping ones with good visibility.
A couple on the m11 yesterday.
First a middle age women looking absolutely terrified in the middle lane doing 50. Her grip looked good enough to snap the steering wheel.
A rather special gold wrapped 13 plate merc it looked hideous.
There was a special looking driver who was so close to the steering wheel her arms were in the praying mantis position she could have rested her chin on the steering wheel if she was any closer.

Absolutely no idea what was going on with everyone on the northbound A1M this evening.confused

I've never seen so much incompetent, dangerous, aggressive and inconsiderate driving (and it wasn't just the usual suspects) on one stretch of road for a long time.

Had to have a couple of beers when I got home to calm myself down. Let's hope it's better tomorrow
