Drivers who keep stopping to let traffic out of side roads. Grrr.

[MardyBra]

Ok, it's fair enough in really slow moving traffic, but this week I seem to be plagued with drivers who disrupt the normally flowing traffic (20mph or so) to "helpfully" let people out.

What about helping the people who are driving behind you by keeping going?

As a pedestrian I hate it when a queue of traffic keeps moving at a steady 15-20mph because I can never cross the road. It's just slow enough for you to wait endlessly on the pavement, yet just fast enough to cause a nasty injury if the driver has her eyes fixed ahead and isn't looking from side to side.

lighthearted disclaimers are the work of the devil.

I'd rather just take the abuse tbh gin.

I know - and if people can't work out what's fun and what isn't then gawd help us

I can't get too worked up about this. Or whatever lighthearted condiments are.

It was me!
Did someone mention gin?

You should never put lighthearted in the title. I also hate people who strike through the things they really want to say but don't have the guts to do it. Sometimes they strike through long sentences and it must have taken longer to do that than write the post.

OK Owllady, you can have gin if you promise not to do it next time.

Well I can't drive if I've drank gin. Everyone's a winner

This is my number one pet hate. Ok if you're in a line of slow-moving traffic and folks are trying to join the main carriageway, but absolutely not when everyone is proceeding along. You do not slam the anchors on every couple of hundred metres to let someone out of a side road. People round here do it all the time.

I don't mind a pithy strikeout limited when it indicates that you have self-edited a witty or sarcastic remark. Some huns posters don't always pull it off though.

Finally carabos agrees with me.

I'm too busy being annoyed by the dog shit next to my gate to get involved in condiments - lighthearted or downright mean and nasty.

Actually, I was all for saying YABU but you're talking about 20mph, not slow, crawling traffic. So yanbu.

I need to find something to get all annoyed about today.

The condiments thread is perfectly civilised so far. Nobody is getting flamed for their preference for Hellman's mayonnaise over Morrison's.

Is everyone just listing condiments?

I was annoyed they had no seafood sauce in lidl

Sparkling You are the most laid-back poster on MN surely. What on earth can we do to get you riled?

"Is everyone just listing condiments?"

Yup.

she can have the dogshit by my gate - that'll rile her and no mistake.

I am sure there was a salad cream thread yesterday, I may even have posted on it. Must be condiments question week.

Thanks Gin Are you sure it's not cat shit though?

I have unidentified poo in my shed
