People who don't indicate when turning left, either on a roundabout or into a side street. Earlier today I was sat waiting to turn right onto the main road and two cars were coming from my right, about 50 yards apart. Yes, you've guessed it, BOTH of them turned into the road I was waiting to turn out of without indicating! You might say it's only 30 seconds lost but it's 30 seconds that could have been avoided. The second lady seemed very confused when I tooted my horn at her in frustration.
Also my work and some of the people that work there. Honestly the job isn't rocket science. Everything you need to do, ask or complete is on the screen in a clearly clickable format yet some still manage to get it wrong. Can I go up and slap them on the back of the head for doing it? No, I have to 'submit feedback' to their Team Leader.
The indicator problem is not "beyond reason". I think it p"sses all decent drivers. It's even more irritating when they put the indicator on AS THEY TURN THE CORNER. Do they think it helps the car go round the bend? It's an operation of the controls which should come as second nature even to someone who's only recently qualified. It's beyond all of us, as to why so many can't be bothered. The same thing applies to people who don't use their indicators when pulling away from the kerb into the traffic flow.Also my work and some of the people that work there.

Bernoulli's principle when I'm having a shower. 
Just googled that, but not sure I'm any the wiser

PS that was a joke Kiltie, don't hate me
I am a chubster.
I was in a hotel and the shower was tiny.
and it's spreading.

king music instead of talking st about their personal life? There's a guy on CFM (Carlisle) through the night that NEVER shuts up. I'm not exaggerating, 50% of the "show" is him prattling on about his life. Who the fk cares? 
They're all at it - last night I was across E Yorks and Viking FM was on. The guy on there was having a quiz where listeners have to guess some movie line he does in an Aussie accent. You don't win anything, so who cares and how sad do you have to be to even ring in with the answer? Some bird rang in and got it right, but then it's "what you up to tonight? Where you working? Is it busy? What time do you finish? Is there many people working at the same place?" Why why why ??????? WE DON'T CARE. JUST PLAY THE fkING MUSIC AND STFU!!!!!!!!!!!! I "get" the ads - you need to pay for your station, I "get" the news on the hour - that's all fine, but why talk ste that no-one cares for instead of playing music which is why we are all tuned in. If we wanted a talk show we'd tune to something starting with BBC.

They believe they will be discovered one day and propelled to superstardom. In reality, they make Alan Partridge look a stellar broadcaster and are permanently condemned to the graveyard shift of some regional radio station that no-one listens to except by accident.
That consoles me are they wibble on.

Why couldn't she have indicated earlier or flashed her lights to let me turn in? She was so far up the road it wouldn't have mattered. I think it's not only the feeling that they are monumentally stupid that gets me, but mainly that they've done it on purpose as they can clearly see you are there and what you are tying to do.
