A similar thing that drives me mad is people that press the button at pedestrian crossings without even looking to see if there's any traffic. They notice there's no traffic, walk across. Then traffic coming along 20 seconds later has to stop and wait for nothing. Usually it's students looking at their mobiles, press the button without even looking, then realise there's a perfectly fine gap for crossing. They're long gone before several cars have to stop and wait at an empty crossing. |

Sitting upon the porcelain throne (after coming home from a walk and with a degree of urgency), laying some sea cables and realising that your new pack of 24 bog rolls is still in the shopping bag on the kitchen floor. -

Registered 14 years agoCunts who drive 5-10kph below the limit in the rightmost lane (the fast lane in Oz).
Impatient cunts who see the safety gap between your car and the next as an invitation to overtake, even though it's completely unnecessary and saves them zero time but gives them the illusion of being FIRST while everyone behind them has to slow down or brake to accommodate their pointless merging manoeuver
Can't wait for driverless cars. -

Registered 9 years agoIt's funny how consistently tailgating happens, in any society.
If I'm going at the limit and you want to get past, overtake me. If you can't overtake me, then it doesn't matter how close you get, I'm not fucking going faster. Do you think you can save fuel by slipstreaming or something? -

Registered 7 years agoIt's all very well focussing on speed limits, but its tailgating that really needs something doing about it.
I would reduce speed limits to 20 mph in most urban city areas, increase motorway limits to 80 and come up with some sort of device thingy that can be used to ban tailgating. What the device thingy should be I have no idea. -

Registered 4 years agoI think a lot of the time it's just being a bad driver than wanting to go faster. My ex used to get really close to cars but never frustratingly say drive faster etc. Know your distance etc.

Registered 16 years agoWe are here. ‘Only a fool breaks the two second rule’. But most people don’t give a fuck.
Yesterday, I was the third of fourth car in a queue of traffic following some old dear doing 30 in a 50. It was absolutely, biblically pissing it down, so I doubt most people would have gone much faster but this transit was right up her arse, like inches away, for a good four or five miles.
Like what’s the fucking point? She’s obviously not speeding up, you’re right in her spray and if she panics and randomly weighs anchor, you’re going to write her car off. -

Registered 14 years agoPeople who physically can't do a constant speed. The amount of times I'm cruising along at 70 (80) to be overtaken by some donkey, to then have that person gradually slow down until I'm in turn overtaking them for the entire process to repeat itself for miles is fucking weird because you're then stuck in this little awkward dance until one of you leaves the motorway.
This is a male problem for sure - for some, it's not at all about achieving a certain pace, it's entirely about going faster than YOU.
These are the same people who speed up that little bit when they notice they're being overtaken in general. -

Registered 16 years agoI don’t know if that is a specific male problem. The wife will do the speed limit or more even she is concentrating then as soon as she starts talking, she has pretty much no awareness of how fast she’s going. -

Registered 8 years agoI'd say a good 55-60% off the twats out on the road fucking shouldn't be.
Dogs are fucking shit anyway, so I'd be happy with a blanket ban on owning them and just throwing them into the sea at birth.
Quality Street is shit. Unless it's a tin entirely composed of green triangles it should be flung into the nearest bin along with any cunt that likes Quality Street. -

Registered 17 years agoI've said it on her before, but the standard of driving required to pass the test in the UK is incredibly low (but so probably one of the highest in the world.) It's basically at a level where the examiner is pretty confident you can make the car go forwards and backwards, around a few corners and that you know where the mirrors are. Actual car control and a safe system of driving is a completely unknown concept to most people.
