Pet Hates........or FFS

[Roy S]

They're the same @rseholes who don't bother stopping at mini roundabouts so you have to, oblivious to other road users

[Ian7633]

Pulling up at the traffic lights and the nob in front sits there with their foot on the brake pedal, scorching your retinas with the laser blasts from LED brake lights, ten times worse if it's dark and raining.


Also on a personal level the waste of skin who lives opposite me who seems incapable of turning down her car stereo when she leaves or comes back, whatever time of day, she also needs tazering.

[hifilover]

Fecking nosey cockwomble miserly old fart neighbours that feel they need to stand in their window and stare when I’ve lit the fire and smoke comes out of the chimney.. I mean, my god, what next? Rain from the sky...?

Arsehole...

Driving habits are a great source of pet hates, eg middle lane hogs. But my own personal dislike is people who can't simply pull up neatly at the end of a queue and apply the handbrake.

So imagine there are red traffic lights and a queue has already formed. My bete noire is the car in front of me which comes to a pause a leisurely 15-20 feet from the end of the queue and I stop right behind them, as does the car behind me and so on. The car in front of me then rolls (not having applied the handbrake) 3 feet forward and pauses. Then again. Then again. And so on. Each time everyone behind then has to decide whether they correspondingly shuffle forward in stages. Further back there is usually someone trying to turn off or onto the road who could really do with the queue being shorter to make their manoeuvre but they can't because the g1t in front of me is mindlessly edging forward a few inches at a time.

I'd like to propose burning at the stake as a suitable deterrent.

If I'm in a long queue, I'll wait until there is room for me on the other side of a road junction, so as to let people in or out of the side road.

S'ok mate, it'll soon be bonfire night, so you can light a wee fire for them in their garden. That way, they won't have to look at yours. Nice being neighbourly, innit?

Ah piss on their feet; I'm gonna light the bugger every night next week; the forecast is bleak enough

Its not as if he's going to say much; I've already spoken to other neighbours and he's a nosey prat that knows everything apparently. Also; he's not keen on 'youngsters' in the cul de sac; hell; we bring the age gap down 2 generations

Apparently; he wasn't impressed when I'd started doing some of my stone lifting on the drive too; he could 'feel' the vibrations of me dropping my 110kg atlas stone off my shoulder...! Really?! #howtobeaknob101

Why not pull up in front of the culprit and reverse into the gap?

[alphaGT]

I’m coming back from the city at rush hour on the interstate, and half way the traffic stops. It starts to inch along, people swapping lanes, hoping to gain a space, it took two hours to drive a 30 minute trip, and when I got to where the traffic jam let up, and cars started moving again, I find that the accident that caused it was on the OTHER SIDE of the highway! There was NO accident on my side! People rubber necking to see the accident on the other side had brought traffic to a standstill!? What the hell is wrong with people? It just gets harder and harder to remain calm.

'Rubber necking' is a well known phenomenon and is often stated to be the cause of a slowing down of traffic and of delays in traffic reports. But it is also well recognised that people drive more carefully after seeing an RTA. Sadly the improvement in driving doesn't last long.

[Macca]

People always slow down and drive more carefully when they see a cop car, they stop talking on their telephones, start indicating and observing lane discipline so maybe have fake cop cars all over the place? I mean it's the 21st century, can they not have holographic cop cars that they can switch on and off at will?
