Who have you p***ed off today?

Who have you upset today when they were in the wrong and you were in the right?

Today, on my commute to work, I seemingly upset a woman coming towards me because I had the "cheek" to continue along my side of the road when she had decided to come onto my side of the road to go around a parked car. This prompted a great deal of headlight flashing and hand gestures from her, when she had to reverse to go back into the space behind said parked car.

I like it when people get upset over these kinds of things, it amuses me how self-obsessed they must be not to recognise their own wrongdoings.

Only my 4 year old.

I committed the heinous crime of putting one of his socks on inside out, resulting in absolute bedlam.

My sister-in-law has a book called "Why is my toddler crying?" which is full of such tales, someone gave it to her soon after the birth of my nephew. Rather entertaining to me (as a non-parent) but also SiL is glad she is not the only one putting up with such outbursts

An employee who - as every year - waited until now to book two consecutive weeks leave before Christmas, and on finding this was impossible, threw his toys out of the pram.

A reminder of why I'm glad I no longer deal with staff leave requests.

The journalist of my local 'rag' who has published a sensationalist story which seems to be incorrect.

I let them know via Twitter and it's seems to have created a frenzy of emails

Twitter details please!

I had similar yesterday, only she was passing a row of about 10 parked cars. How dare I continue to drive down my obstruction-free lane.

I get similar on my commute every day - on the way too work, I go along the side which is obstructed and pull in to make way for oncoming traffic, but on my way home, I despair at the number of people who continue past a gap and try to force me into stopping until they can get past.

Today stood out in the fact it was in a different spot, and the fact the other driver got so angry, instead of the cheeky/sheepish hand wave as they get in front

Maybe I should have had a can of red bull at hand?

Wouldn't it have been easier for you to lift off for a moment and let her slip through, than force her to stop and start again? Or would that have been losing face?

Be careful here - roads don't have a "my side", it's just a road, technically a right-of-way. If you crash into each other it'll go 50/50.

I know what you are saying, and the implications of "right of way" vs "priority" and really, good road manners. Not about losing face at all.

However, in the situation from this morning, at the point where she moved across the white lines, I was already well beyond the point at which "easing off" would have let her slip past, and it required a full on stop from both of us to avoid a collision.

Just upset a baggage handler at Heathrow because I bought the last of the samosas from the snack van.

Man that was a tasty samosa.
