heads out and about today doing one or a combination of the following in very wet, gloomy conditions:- Tailgating - Lets drive 1 foot from this person's bumper in torrential rain and standing water. No, how about fk off and maintain a safe gap?
- Excessive speed 85+ - As above. What part of your brain thinks this is sensible?
- No lights - It's Ok , your silver TDI repmobile REALLY stands out from the spray
- All lights. I.e., main beam, front and rear fogs. Thanks for letting me know your there. Unfortunately I'm probably going to need laser eye surgery as my retina's have been burnt to fk
- Middle Lane Morons - Yes I know there are up to 4 lanes but why are you in lane 3 doing 55mph, meaning HGV'S Have to undertake you?

What is it with plane journeys bringing out the fkwitt in people?
Every time I have ever exited a plan before now, you wait for the people in front of you to exit, before exiting yourself, unless they wave you by.
I flew home with the family yesterday and another family on row three stormed to the front section at a run and then stood in the aisle physically stopping the front two rows of people from getting up, let alone getting to their bags. The doors were not even opened for five minutes or so.
They then whooped to each other about 'being first of the plane' once out of the door.
Everyone else was thinking knob and still had to wait for their cases at the conveyor.

Same here. I don't usually botber standing until the plane is at least half empty (depending on where I'm sat). I can just about understand it on a train but no-one is going anywhere for at least half an hour once the plane comes to a standstill.
, also I usually find I walk past said ignoramusus before the carousel as they waddle away from the plane after disembarking.Probably the sort who seem to be in a rush doing 40mph in a 30, only to do the same speed in a clear NSL...
The two lads in a shed of a 55 plate focus who were driving slowly down the road.
They must have been doing all of 10mph.
The speed could be due to the nearly flat space saver on the nearside rear.
However the punctured, split and flapping offside front tyre might have had more to do with it.
It was in hackney so fairly normal for there

1/ Find an assistant close to the poor parenting demonstration.
2/ Ask loud enough to be heard by a small group "Excuse me; where are the condoms? You guys keep moving everything around".
3/ Walk through the group past the mother so she becomes the centre of attention.

The MAMIL who was ''skiing'' along a country lane this afternoon. The contraptions he was wearing looked like short skis with a pram wheel at each end and must be the most inefficient mode of travel known to man?! Added to which he had become a slow moving chicane and looked as though he was about to drop through either exhaustion or heart failure. I'm all for keeping fit but this smacked of wealthy middle class exercise gimmick.
People who park two wheels on the pavement.
Recently looking after a large dog which requires a shed load of walking every day. However around here, folk seem to have taken to the idea of parking two wheels on the pavement, in a residential area. What makes this most annoying is the fact that the rest of the car is still on the road, which means it's still blocking the lane enough not to be able to get two cars past therefore one must still wait, however it is also blocking the access for pedestrians, pushchairs, wheelchairs, guide dogs, and grumpy old dog walkers like me, unnecessarily.
Seems unbelievable how they think they're being less of an obstruction by putting two wheels up on the curb. In their fairytale world they must believe that the entire width of the car is suddenly halved by placing a quarter of the car in the path of the pushchairs and wheelchairs..... Morons

This time of year people who drive with windows covered in condensation like this...
...when it takes ten seconds to clear it like this...
...frost or ice I can almost understand people are too lazy and want to get going. Not being able to see where they are going is only a minor issue. When I see people arriving at work knowing they have driven for ten or more miles with just the windscreen wipers cleared I wonder...
"How do they remember to breathe?"

I generally wipe my drivers and passenger door window, and wipe the rear window with the wiper. Occasionally the condensation comes straight back on my windscreen so it needs about a minute with the hot heater full blast to clear it (even with cold engine) and it's fine....when it takes ten seconds to clear it like this...

Motorway gantry signs - inappropriate information.
Joining the M4 at Reading heading for the M25, wondering how bad the traffic ahead will be (and thus making a choice to avoid and try the byways). First gantry sign 'Congestion on A21 after A26'.
Now as it happens we were aiming for the A21, but really wanted to know about the M25 which usually offers many more delays.
Then I thought - how many peeps heading eastbound on the M4 are actually heading to Hastings (the endpoint of the A21 and the only town beyond Tunbridge Wells / A26).
Afterall, wouldn't many be heading off up north (M25 - M1), or east (M25 + A12), or even London? But you tell us about the A21???
Two weeks later, we're on the A12 up near Witham (Essex) heading for the M25. This time the gantry sign tells us that the A27 near Shoreham on Sea is closed. WTF? Do many peeps travel from East Anglia to Worthing?
Is it too much to ask that IF they have to display something, can they make it relevant? If traffic is heading towards the (joy that is) the M25 they probably wish to know how it is running? Is that too difficult?

I do imagine, its the same type of character that has to be first off the train or bus.
The scenario I saw was so extreme, I wondered if it was being filmed for a comedy show.
Re Canadians:
Somebody at work returned from a holiday and complained about a Canook families members of all ages climbing over sun loungers to reach the pool while people were sat on them - rather that walk round to the available gaps.
Are they typically all like that???
