To ask what really fucks you off?

I know I know I was asking for it- going out in the car on a Sunday; 'Sunday drivers'... As I was sat/stuck behind yet another slow, overly cautious (shit - IMO) driver it infuriated me that she left a car sized gap between her and the car in front of her. These selfish twats idly trundle by just as the lights change leaving whoever was stuck behind them (and their massive unnecessary gap...) stuck at the lights. I curse them. What and/or who really gets you mad?

Those dicks that continue indicating right when they turn off a roundabout, only to leave you sitting like an enraged lemon waiting for them.

People walking 3 wide blocking the path

People who think it's ok to have smelly feet and laugh about it.

GET to the chiropodist!

Yes I hate it when someone stinks in front of you in a queue and you have to walk in their spaceShock.

And yes to people walking three deep and blocking the pavement and you have to negotiate how to get past them without getting run over by a car.or hope they see you from the corner of their eye and move. It can be hard work sometimes. Something so simple.an everyday occurrence turns into a battle.Grin

The sole person at work who cannot change the loo roll when it's empty and insists on just resting the new one ontop if the holder.

What the fuck's wrong with them? They can obviously use their hands as they've just used the end last of the previous roll.

Argh!

People who don't get that externally 'nice' people can also be cruel and abusive. And who may also have difficulty understanding that abuse is the grand sum of events.

Infant school projects returned home on A3/A2 posters. How lovely but where on Earth am I going to put it? And how do you reach the quietly hidden phase before recycling (I can't keep everything)?

People who think mint tea counts as green tea because it is also green. Nooooo!

Monny · 07/08/2017 20:58

Oh and people who come around blind bends in the middle of the road... Is this some kind of deadly thrill seeking or can they simply not drive?

winobaglady · 07/08/2017 21:21

People with prams/pushchairs who seem to use them to test the traffic density. They push the pram/pushchair onto the road and expect traffic to stop for them, without looking to see what's on around them.

This thread makes me want to buy a packet of cigarettes, stand at the till for 10 minutes looking for the correct money and then amble slowly down the street cursing and blowing smoke at all and sundry.

All the Americanisms creeping into our language. Especially English people saying "mad" to mean angry

We use mad instead of angry all the time in Ireland!
