I don't mind this so much unless it's teamed up with socks tall enough to cover any shin that would be exposed. For people who either have very hot shins and therefore can’t wear full length or can’t wear shorts as suffer from cold knees.
Groups of people, usually younger ladies, that walk 4 wide down a street all chatting and giggling about boys and shoes, all on their phones totally oblivious to the fact they've taken up the whole width of the pavement and I'm now stood still waiting for the inevitable panic as they see me with about 1.5 seconds to go or walk straight into me. This has happened more times than I care to count now! Maybe its just my local town.
One sided ‘races’ whilst driving.
Coming home from work last night, behind a truck. BMW right up my arse as we approach a roundabout. Turn off my usual way, and give it reasonable beans, because that’s the way I drive that section normally.
BMW: “Whooo, a race!”
Up my arse in the 30s and 40s because I stick with them. Lose them in the nationals for a while before they appear again behind me like an over excited puppy.
It does get to a certain point where it might look to others like you’re racing, which then gets bloody awkward. Decided to overtake a dawdler on a good straight, they follow...
What’s the solution? I’m not going to pull over just because someone is being a dick behind, nor am I going to drive the road slower than normal, but?!

Only a minor niggle, but at a local Mc D`s there is a dedicated lane for people who want to use the drive through to buy their McD products. Alongside this lane is another lane, for people who don't want to use the McD`s, and who are just driving out of the retail park, that the McD`s is sited in.
At the end of the McD`s lane, it divides into two at the order points, so that two cars, can pull up to the order points, at more or less the same time.
Along comes Mr Knob down the clearly marked, leave the retail park lane', past all the cars that were already waiting to be served in the correct lane, and at the last second, he barges into the McD serving point lane, to access the outer service point.
Not only does Mr Knob jump the queue, in front of all the drivers waiting in the correct lane, but because he couldn't quite squeeze all of his car in front of the one he barged in front of, he also blocked the leave the retail park lane, holding up about 4 other drivers, who only wanted to exit the park. I am guessing he took the `I am the most cretinous knob in the area', prize for quite a few people that day.

If I was blocked trying to leave I'd be on the horn and not releasing it, that makes me a massive knob too, because it can be a minutes of continuous noise rather than a toot.
Obviously I don't do this if it's some #1 cut three quarter length pantalooned Neanderthal in an England shirt with tattoos and a Staffie in a Mitsubishi Warrior or something.
Obviously I don't do this at all, as it's always those types anyway.

Bell ends like Shmee travelling round the world not giving a toss about the pandemic. He can spout all his nonsense about doing it within government guidelines but it doesn’t wash with me.
it's a double bubble isn't it... not only do they have a non-job job that means they can earn revenue from doing f
k all apart from having fun and probably deduct a stload from tax, but they can also now travel round the world and claim it is 'work', which pretty much allows them to do what they want at the minute too. Yea i am going to Dubai for 2 months for like a web series or whatever, when you just know that it was the other way around... i am making a web series because i want to go to Dubai! carreauchompeur said:

Just let them pass it really is that simple.

When you're walking along a path or pavement, over to one side, and there's someone coming the other way, and they see you, and deliberately move across to the same side of the path you're walking on, so you're left either having to get out of their way or steamroller through. It doesn't seem to be any particular demographic.
Some years back I spotted a chum walking towards me, busy on his phone as usual. So I deliberately moved over to obstruct him, so he moved over to avoid me (without realising who I was), so I moved back, and so on. Gosh how we laughed.Pan Pan Pan said:

He probably cuts in late for every road and motorway junction, and does it repeatedly because nobody ever picks him up on it. So he thinks it’s socially acceptable.At the end of the McD`s lane, it divides into two at the order points, so that two cars, can pull up to the order points, at more or less the same time.

Not surprising, when you consider the amount of Napoleon types who insist the rest of us mustn’t beep such people because it’s not something they personally do. Oh, and the driver is always guaranteed to be Kenny Noye.
In reality the driver is a knob, who does it because he is allowed to.

What a strange comment... they weren’t ever blocked from overtaking but I’m not going to adjust my driving due to the overexcited puppy behind. Just let them pass it really is that simple.

I was brave once at McDonald's, I was going to the bin in the car park and as I passed a car someone threw some rubbish out, I picked it up and threw it back in, hardly breaking my step. They didn't say a word.
Years ago, parked in a country lay by I dropped a bit of tomato on the floor from my sandwich. I reached down and dropped it out of the window, my thoughts being it was organic matter, would decompose easily if an animal didn't eat it. A bloke picked it up and asked if I was planning on throwing anything else out. Unusually for me a witty retort of "what would you like?" was the first thing out of my mouth.No, I don't chuck litter out of the window as a habit.
