One for me which is entirely subjective, but people who don't get the roof of their convertibles down even on a georgeous June day when it's 20°C outside. It's the Goldilocks zone, yet they still don't bother... Why even buy a convertible in the first place?
On my trip to work this morning i saw 5 convertibles, and only 2 of them had the roof down. With modern convertibles surely they don't mess up peoples hair when driving round town? I suspect it's people who buy a convertible think it'll be brilliant, hate it, then have to put up with it.
The absolute w
kstain tanker driver today on the southbound M9 who seemed to think it was his job to straddle both lanes approaching a lane closure. You cocksucker. By blocking the outside lane and stopping vehicles from merging you made the congestion worse. fking wker.
An honourable mention also to the throbber in the red R8 who insists on booting it round Stirling city centre at grossly excessive speeds. V10 CBL you are a dick.
Most of it is a fking 20mph limit.
I was however gratified this evening to see him about to be handed his ass on a plate by two litre sports bikes on the city centre bypass.

The stupid third generation like chav innit. Shouting at her status dog because it kept pulling her across the path so it could walk on the grass.
"Excuse me. Instead of shouting at your dog take your shoes off and see how his paws feel walking on the path".
Apparently I was "like outta order chair".

Stupid c**t in a red Polo this morning. I was approaching a mini-roundabout that used to be a simple 'T' junction. I was on what used to be the 'main' road, him waiting at the road joining from my right.
So far so good, he has to wait for traffic from his right to clear before entering the roundabout, I'm closer by now, but not ignorant of the rules of the road, so I slow to let him clear ahead of me, fully intending to join behind his car as it gets going off the roundabout.
Only, the more I slow on approach, the more he slows ON the roundabout. I fully intend to not stop, so I slow a little more and implore him to "FFS! Get a move on!". But he doesn't, preferring to come to a halt on the roundabout. "Ok" thinks I. "Have it your way." And I carefully made my way past the front of his car and got on my way. Then, as he overtook me after the roundabout he gave me some (largely unintelligible) verbal across his wife and through the open window.
Sad to say I dropped the "C" bomb on him.
Fair play mate, but you can't just stop on a roundabout and appear to cede your priority to another road user, then get your knickers in a twist when that road user decides to take you up on the offer. As it was, if your observations had been faster and more efficient, you'd have been off on your heels way before I entered the roundabout, and there'd have been no hint of conflict. YOU created that situation. I suspect so that you can show your dashcam footage on Youtube and all the circlejerking cycle haters can descend on the comments section and agree that it was all that nasty cyclist's fault for bullying you. Well fk you! If I'd been aggressive entering the roundabout I'd have been through before you even realised what was going on, so aggression and inappropriate speed definitely NOT a factor here.
I blame two things. The fact that you got your license from a fking Christmas Cracker, you big fat 'tard, and the local council for building these stupid fking roundabouts that corrupt the traditional priorities at junctions. Every-fking-where.

Are you referring to the ones with the German style font or just pressed plates? I have pressed uk plates that are all above board.Knobbers.
I personally think they look smart, bit of a change from the norm in my opinion.

yea fair enough, but is that not a bit like living near a railway line and getting annoyed at the trains?
If the passengers started parking in your front garden surely you would have a right to be annoyed?People living near a school shouldn't have to put up with paresnt blocking their driveways just because they live near a school
In the same way
people living near train stations would get irate if people started using their driveways as parking spaces.
It doesn't matter if the school / railway station was already there.People should show some courtesy.

knugget? The throbber who's obviously "made it" in life because he drives a 6 year old BMW 3 Series to an office job at 7am. Fk you, and fk anyone else who indulges in this "creep creep creep - leap - stop" nonsense at roundabouts, and ends up half way over the "Wait here!" line. If you retarded fks think it'll bully and/or blackmail me into letting you out against priority? Think again. And now, because you are such a retard, I have to move across into the second lane around the roundabout to avoid the front of your "millions just like it" car. Which means slowing down, and checking blindspots, and crawling past you. Which means, ultimately, that not only have you annoyed me beyond reason, but you have also delayed YOURSELF because by the time I'm past you, there's more traffic for you to give way to. Way to go, genius!PS. You could try Windolene, but a better solution might be to stop licking your window in the first place, you miserable wretch...
...and before I get told to "chill out" again, the real reason for my rant was the fact that instead of acknowledging that he'd crept rather too far forward and apologising, he mouthed the words "f
k you" at me when I tooted the horn to encourage him to look up and "give way to traffic already on the roundabout". Not so much what he did, but that he knowingly and deliberately did it, and would clearly do it again.Krikkit said:
Even an old one, they're not that blowy at the usual commute speed of 30-50mph roads I was on. Even on the way home at the end of the day (when hair for the ladies is irrelevant) they still don't do it.

For me at the moment it's bloody bikers. Now I like a fast bike as much as the next man and ridden well they're amazing things.
However, I live just outside a village on what is a very nice fun, twisty A road between two villages. It's about 6 miles long. As you might imagine on a nice Sunday there are loads of bikers. Now, that's fine, I actually quite like the noise and you do see the odd bit of really nice machinery. They're also out enjoying the roads just on two wheels rather than the four I prefer. However, my place is about 200m inside a 40 limit which, another couple of hundred metres up the road becomes a 30 as it enters the village. By my house you can't see the derestricted as there is a slight blind bend and another couple of houses. Similarly, just past mine into the village direction is a blind crest. However, the speeds some of the bikers do along here is fking loopy. As much as that's annoying what I have also found on a couple of occasions when going out is that one will whizz past and then once I'm off my drive and underway I'll catch them up and then be held up, without me doing anything stupid speed wise.
Different road but a great example of this earlier today. Pulling off a DC onto a country A road 3 bikes were behind me. Up the hill and through some twists and I had left them well behind. I was "making progress" but not on a qualifying lap by any measure. After a couple of miles there were some traffic lights for some roadworks. I'm stopped at these and along come the bikes who then pass me and stop in front. Lights change and off we go and the fkers then proceed to hold me up with all the primary position bullst despite me making it evident that I was wanting to go faster and was looking for an opportunity for about 10 miles before I turn off towards home.
