The idiot in the mini in Milton Keynes yesterday that dropped someone off in a laybay (near the sainsburys in the hub if anyone knows it) then proceeded to rev the nuts off his car while sat in the layby. He then proceeded to floor it from the lights, getting up to probably around 50-60mph in a 30

I genuinely laughed out loud when the police car a few cars back put it's lights on and pulled him over rofl

One single thing that makes you think "knob"?

How about an actual knob? Riding my bike last night, I'd been out and about over St Catherine's Hill and Hurn riding bridleways mostly. On the way back I followed part of the Stour Valley Way, through a golf course near a caravan park. As I rolled down a slight hill (flood defence mound) my front light was pointed at the ground, but as soon as I was on the flat again, the light washed over a chap stood on a 'park' bench next to the river. He had his back to me but the light caused him to turn around. In profile I could see he was holding his "old chap" and masturbating furiously toward the river.

All very weird. But pretty soon the path turned left, away from him, and I left him to finish up in peace.

yuck

I'm guessing there was no-one else involved because there isn't much room in between that bench and the river. Unless there was someone else putting on a 'floor show' on the far bank?

Maybe his partner fell off the end into the river?

I sometimes wear sunglasses when it isn't clear blue skies because I'm an optimist. I wear shorts most of the year as well due to the tropical climate here.

The only thing knobish about sunglasses is when they are combined with tinted windows.

Drivers who's ability to hog the middle out outside lanes of the motorway during 50mph sections!

We know there are middle lane hoggers and the ocassional outside lane hogger who hasn't a clue. It just seems to be even more prevalent on the reduced 50mph sections such as the section of the M4 from London to Reading.

It just seems that normal rules go completely out of the window and people simply refuse to change lanes, far worse than a normal 70 section.

Perfect example is some middle aged guy in lane three, sitting below 50mph and refusing to move left for multiple cars. Those who eventually moved to the middle and sailed past, all the while he waves his hands in frustrating/surprise.

Vehemently driving below the limit and clearly flustered by those that don't, policing that third lane or simply in people's way. Yet the moment the restriction ends, he's off at 85mph obviously still in lane three! Knob!

It's this...



...time of the year again. Four idiots taking "racing lines" or just on the wrong side of the road on country lanes and back roads today.

Glad I have a Mito and not a 4C otherwise I would have been hit by at least two of them.

My mates unit is on a blind bend on a country lane. We were watching the tractors and trailers racing up and down all day, until two of them met head on coming round the bend. How they stopped in time I do not know. Made us laugh though as they had to try and get past each other.

People who leave a massive gap whilst queuing for the petrol station till, so everyone else waiting end up blocking the aisle.

Agree. They have no fuelings for all the others waiting.

I just don't understand some people, coming round the M25 last week, in a 4 lane section and all these throbbers now sit in the 3rd lane, reducing the road to a 2 lane motorway.

On a similar note people who pull up at e.g. traffic lights and stop, then decide to edge forward to the car in front by about 2-3 feet, so everyone else then has to shuffle forward 2-3 feet. Then they often do the same again. Just pull up to the car in front first time - useless twunts.

People who own/build petrol stations with a store but without enough space for people to park and shop without blocking pumps.

Yes I know its primary purpose is petrol but sometimes you just want to run in for a drink.

Modern ones are. Most petrol stations around where I live have half a dozen or more parking bays for those just popping in for some milk.

The problem is when a petrol station was designed back in the 1950's, it was never envisaged it would sell more than petrol and maybe a few motoring items like oil. Stores get retrofitted to old stations and there just isn't enough room for parking.

This annoys me too and I don't get why it's done. I normally see it in a student workspace or around the campus.

I don't know enough about phones to tell, but I think part of it might be them trying to show off their phone.

The other one could be people trying to humblebrag on the phone based on their conversation. e.g. imply they are the boss man from airing their conversation to everyone. Maybe these are the people who buy BO55 plates.

I wear sunglasses a lot. My mum and dad have both had their cataracts done, neither ever wore sunglasses and lived in a not sunny place. I want to avoid cataracts.

Plus I look cool.

I saw BO55 ZOD this morning but he didn't look anything like Terrence Stamp.
