Didn't know whether to funny that for the office arses or dislike for your car.

Went with the smiley face

I always try to let people out of junctions if I can, but I look behind me 1st, if there is no one behind then I carry on because they will get out after me anyway

 

[Tom]

People who slam on their brakes to let people out of junctions. Especially when I'm the only car behind and there is no one else for miles.

I hate this when I'm cycling, waiting in the middle of the lane to turn right. Some people stop and flash me across, not realising that I'd rather they just continued because I can't see down the side of their vehicle to see if it's clear. So usually I just look down and pretend I haven't seen them.

If there's someone behind you carry on, if there's nobody behind you then it's safe to slow down...

No I meant it as in they might still be waiting to get out 5 cars later, if there is no one behind me, then I carry on, as they will get out anyway, but if there are cars behind me, it gives them a chance to get out. I'm not talking about slamming my brakes on at the last minute, I do check first

I am the same, if I can see a big enough gap behind me they can wait. If there is no gap in sight then I tend to let me go. Unless it is a Taxi or a Woman in a Chelsea Tractor they can both just wait too.

 

[Tom]

If there's a big gap behind you then surely they can use that, rather than the gap in front you create?

 

[Scouse]

Then they wait. Slowing the journey of five cars to benefit one just means that journey times are slowed all over.

Just discovered the only DVD Writer I have in the house will no longer read CD's. Bloody thing is only 3 months old too

Yeah , I hate waiting at the junction to my mansion in my Ferrari , does my tits in. It especially means the glass of bollinger that my butler has poured me is normally tepid by the time I have to drink it .

Damn waiting to turn right!

Dude you missed my sense of humour, I was replying in the style of Hawkwind.

 

[Scouse]

True. But I concur with @Tom's random annoying thing too - it's really fucking annoying - especially when the driver who stopped / slowed down gets annoyed when I refuse to turn in front of him, into a blind lane of fast-moving traffic...

 

[old.user4556]

Yes indeed it's frustrating. The somewhat related converse issue of someone pulling out dangerously when there's nothing behind you gets my goat.

I had a bit of fun the other day. On the A57(M) through Manchester, a big chasm opened up a few weeks ago, so since then it's been down to a contraflow with a 20mph speed limit while they find out what the issue is. There's often a queue before it gets to the 20mph bit, but I digress.



Anyway, I came up to the back of this queue and it was just about to block a slip road off the motorway, so I went into the empty second lane to merge about 600 yards further along. There were two or three cars in front, blocked by a guy in a Ford Focus who was doing the old "lane vigilante" thing to stop people "jumping the queue". This went on for a couple of minutes before he got bored of the horns and being hated. Meanwhile I could see the cars to my nearside all making sure they were 0.0001 inches from oneanother so no dirty "queue jumpers" could get ahead. Once the Focus moved across, everyone carried on as normal and began to merge at the cones. I found myself merging behind him, at which point he again moved into the outside lane to block anyone else. So I thought fuck it, and moved into the place he'd just vacated. I effectively did to him what he was doing to others. He raced ahead, dove in front of me, only to be overtaken by the black cab he'd been blocking. He must have been absolutely apoplectic with rage. The funny thing was, 95% of the cars in that queue took the next exit, while I continued on the motorway into the 20mph zone. Focus man, king of the road that he thought he was, ignored the 20mph zone (imposed because the contraflow is very tight and there are workers down there) to race up to the traffic lights, at which point of course I found him 30 seconds later.

Watching stupid people is funny.

Losing a second drive when 92% through a RAID5 array rebuild.

When the useless postman (who I already complained about because he kept leaving my garden gate wide open) can't be arsed ringing the doorbell and leaves a £150 cycling top stuffed in an old chimney pot under your front window.

At least he closed the gate though. Hooray for security cameras that let you see all this.

Probably cause you complained about him.

 

[Raven]

Yeah he probably thought, what sort of boring cunt has time to whinge to the post office about their gate?

Although, the original complaint probably went up on the notice board for everyone to have a good laugh about it.

 

[Scouse]

I haveta say @Tom, it's not often me and @Raven agree on something

Sounds like cyclist code for a sexual favour.

The fact they've broken CS:GO with a shit delayed-fire awp-pistol and a wanky killcam.

Raven has been on ignore for years so unfortunately I don't have the pleasure of reading his tripe.

Yegads. I don't understand ignore.

Yet, curiously you somehow still respond with your ill-informed bullshit on a regular basis.

But I can't say I am bothered if a tedious little anal retentive doesn't want to read what I say.

Eurgh having to contact my husband to get contact details so he can be informed that he is divorced after not actually seeing him for 15 years is not fun.... The abrasive reply (as I had to do it on Facebook as he is not registered on the electoral role) wasn't much fun either ;'(
