SPAM random annoying things

Sorry, but everything in the remark that it is dangerous to pull over your car (because there is a problem with it) based on the fact that someone might hit you just screams out to me that the majority of UK drivers are incompetent idiots who shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a car. No offence btw.

UK drivers are woeful.

They really aren't. As a group they're actually better than most. Spend five minutes driving in Ireland and you'd realise how lucky you are, and Irish drivers are just dozy, rather than actively psychotic, like the Portuguese.

 

[old.user4556]

Ok then, in Scotland to be pedantic. With the advent of smartphones the standard of driving, particularly the commute on the M8 into Edinburgh, has become disgraceful. We must have all spotted one - the person sitting in 10 mph traffic who appears to make "small sudden adjustments" to the line their car is taking, and as you pass them they're busy typing away on an iPhone. I really am considering a dash cam.

So much more pleasant driving on French motorways. Probably cos I'm usually doing 100mph. However life expectancy on the hard shoulder has been gauged at 20 minutes. So don't ever stop on one!

What I remember from Malta was "first guy at the corner got right of way". Scary shit, yo.

 

[caLLous]

Try dealing with never quite being sure where "priority from the right" does and doesn't apply. It's still a thing on some junctions (officially I might add), for some reason.

@sayward is right about French motorways though: they're a joy to drive on compared to England's. And no HGVs allowed on Sundays! Which means the day for driving up to Calais picks itself.

That fits disturbingly well in with the green FH backdrop. ^

Other people in the cinema.

- chair kickers
- constant throat clearing
- laughing at non funny bits of a film
- sweetie wrapper rustlers
- weak bladders
- people that squeeze past you prior to the film starting without a polite "excuse me", "ta mate" or "cheers"

Add people who go to public places and act like it's their home on that list

Its a 2 hour film ffs, cant these people go without eating crap for 2 hours. I think all sweets and crisps should be stopped from being taken in the actual screen.

Sell it by all means as I know that's where they make their money, but make it a rule they have to eat it before they go in

That would defeat the purpose. It's not about nourishment, but enhancement. Eating candy/snacks/ice cream/food in general while watching something makes both things better. Ben & Jerrys while watching the big bang theory for example; both good, together better.

Same everywhere. Most dangerous place on the motorway is out of your car on the hard shoulder.

If your car breaks down they say get out of your car, even if it's raining, and get up the embankment whilst waiting for your rescuer.

It's not just threats from being hit by asleep lorry or van drivers who've "drifted" - it's also stuff that gets kicked up moving at pace...

People who tell you all about an email they have sent you before you even switch your PC on.

"Did you see that email I sent you?"

Eh.. No, you dipshit? My monitor is not on and I haven't even hung up my coat yet. I've literally just walked in the door

 

[old.Tohtori]

People who tell you all about an email they have sent you before you even switch your PC on.

Or people who call you if you don't answer a text in the following 5 minutes.

My house mate sends me like 8 texts at the same time then rings me and if I don't answer and/or give a reason for not answering ie in a lecture he'll ring me another 3 times anyway

 

[caLLous]

Sounds like love to me.

Haha! I know what you mean, it's the most fucking annoying thing when your'e replying to a text then that person rings you, it's like. wtf?

Couriers setting your package's tracking status to "Customer not home" after you've been home all day. Sweet baby jebus, it's like they do it to me on purpose

 

[Edmond]

I have a customer that sends me faxes, and as they are still coming out of the machine he rings to tell me he is sending me a fax, and its contents

We're you headphone/toilet free all day too? As in, is it possible you were doing -something- that -could- have made you miss a knock/doorbell/delivery/whatnot?

I should have set my stopwatch, I was waiting for the 'you still use a fax??' comments

Yes we do as I have to draw out diagrams by hand that would take waaaaay too long on the computer, and scanning and emailing also takes too long

I think you'll find that fax machines are still very widely used in the building trade

 

[CorNokZ]

You trade buildings for a living? I thought you were in the porn industry as a sleezy instructor or something?

 

[caLLous]

Loads of people still use fax machines. For those who haven't wrapped their heads around scanning and emailing, there's no other "quick" way of sending a signed document.

Actually some times it's a pain when people ask you to sign PDFs and you have to print sign scan send rather than just scribble and fax
