One single thing that makes you think "knob" Vol 4
Discussion
Companies that advertise vacancies because it's cheaper than taking out an actual advert for their business.
I'm pretty sure at least 60% of jobs are actually companies trying to make it look like they are expanding/recruiting when they really aren't.
Also companies that do not reply to online applications or emails are just rude. sixty one jobs applied for two automated and one human reply so far this week.

The Eco Warrior trundling up the street in a truly knackered old Peugeot 205 diesel with acrid black fumes literally spewing from the exhaust and a big sticker on the side of the car 'Nuclear fuel?....No thanks'.
I know an Eco-warrior was removed his DPF to save on maintenance and "because container ships".Three motorcyclists on Sunday afternoon annoyed me. Driving along minding my own business in a 30 limit, I wonder why we're doing 20, perhaps a tractor in front. But no, when the road curves I see eight or nine cars, then three motorcyclists doing their own rolling roadblock by riding three abreast and blocking our lane. They keep this up for a mile or so until there's a straight bit, then floor it (or whatever you do on a motorcycle to accelerate hard). But they only do that for a bit, because about 500 yards later there's a roundabout, so they're on the brakes, round the roundabout. At this point they're on a by-pass and roar off. So what was the point of the slow bit, other than to annoy others?
The lady tourist (I'm assuming tourist as sounded foreign and on a rental bike) riding the wrong way down a one way street in Bristol yesterday. Made even worse by the bike having a child seat on the front of it, down low in front of the front wheel. It annoyed (and upset) me so much I had to say something to her. Apparently, she didn't know it was one way ...
The boy 4 doors down from us has some sort of special needs which gets him a spot in a special school. Round here, if you're in a special school that usually also means daily transport is provided - mini buses or taxi's.
His driver that comes to pick him up at 8.15 will every day without fail, press the horn twice. Then 15 seconds later if the kid isn't out the front door he'll do it again.
It's tough. I doubt the driver can leave the vehicle. Perhaps the kid should be stood outside ready to go at 8.15, I don't know. But the horn every single morning at 8.15 is slowly leading me to madness. I actually wrote down the VRN today. One day I might get wound up enough to call his dispatch.

The same transport arrangement exists with my next door neighbour but I've never heard the driver use the horn. You should have a word with the driver as there's no excuse for it. He could phone the kid or their parents if there is some reason why they have to be notified that the transport has arrived.His driver that comes to pick him up at 8.15 will every day without fail, press the horn twice.

I understand the driver might want the child to know he has arrived but I’m not sure using his horn is the right way to do it. I would have spoken to him but I’m not usually dressed at that time and sometimes depending on my work or jet lag I am sometimes even asleep and woken up by it.
I wouldn’t mind if it was the odd occasion but this is every single week day and I’m growing tired of it. I was close to phoning the transport company tomorrow hence writing down the reg but just didn’t bother. Maybe tomorrow.

My guess is that they are trying to ensure a clear road ahead for their high speed blast.fausTVR said:

My guess is that they are trying to ensure a clear road ahead for their high speed blast.2 today:
- the drooling inadequate who was unable to maintain anything like a constant speed on a completely unchallenging A road; and
- the slack jawed cretin who slowed to 50mph to pass a speed camera on a national speed limit dual carriageway (the lorries in the inside lane were pulling away).

Moron this morning that is unable to understand merge in turn. Two lanes, lane one merges into lane two. I am in lane two, knowing the road i allow van in front in lane one room to merge across, douchebag comes up parallel and then pushes ahead leaving me nothing else to do except brake to avoid a scrape. Complete stain on humanity.

You must live a very sheltered life 
The contents of a Nissan Micra on the M3 southbound today.
The car itself could easily have gone into either the "Juvenile things that make you snigger" or the "Badly modified" threads, as it was (brush) painted to look like a lion. Lighter colour at the rear, dark to look like the mane at the front, probably had a lion's face on the bonnet, but I didn't see it. Definitely had a tail painted on the bootlid though, along with a mongol Rally sticker on the n/s rear panel.
The car was amusing, but the standard of driving displayed by the cretin behind the wheel was appalling. It didn't affect me so much in lane 1, but his crazy "undertake" and dive into lane 3 causing a big SUV to brake VERY hard, and certainly caused a few raised eyebrows in cars further back. He squeezed that car into a gap that was already far too small, and then he dodged between lanes tailgating anyone and everyone on the road, or so it seemed. And yet, about two miles later, he was still in sight ahead, having made little to no extra progress above staying in lane 2, and caused mayhem and a significant slowing of traffic in lanes two and three behind him.

Parents who let their kids run riot around a pub/ eating place/ supermarket etc then when they are at the other end of the building instead of going to get them just scream the child’s name as loud as possible repeatedly to get them back.
In Tesco today woman with two boys who were looking at games as she went off onto another isle screams ‘boys’ at least 5 times to get them to follow her.

I like to walk past parents like that and say...In Tesco today woman with two boys who were looking at games as she went off onto another isle screams ‘boys’ at least 5 times to get them to follow her.
"Oh yeah, I need condoms".
...loud enough for them to hear.
