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?

IdoChaCha, I mean at the lights, I read the thread. I was taught by my instructor that when you stop at the lights, you leave a gap of a small car's length. As a pp said, it makes it easier to move round if the car in front breaks down, also, if you're stopped and the car behind goes into the back of you, you're less likely to be shunted into the car in front. I tend to leave a gap as it's how I was taught and I haven't been driving long (only passed my test in March). DH, on the other hand, drives up everyone's arse and does their head in.

Probably everything here.

Plus: using toilet as a verb, people saying haitch when they mean aitch, the rising inflection so everything? sounds? like a question?

Anyone being horrible to someone in a lower position than them at work.

I am about to get a new manager who does all this, apart from using toilet as a verb, but that's only because she hasn't thought of it yet.

I've never written 'boils my piss', but all this boils my piss.

People who don't say please or thank you to people in the service industry. It costs nothing! Angry

I'm going to try that next time I'm in a queue, btw. That'll learn 'em! Grin

Pointless flappy twats

I'm going to start a campaign to have this adopted as their official, scientific name from now on Grin

People who don't rtft.

On that note OP, I haven't rtft but I leave spaces like that sometimes, especially when the car in front stinks and I don't want to just be breathing in their fumes. (Especially bad with taxis for some reason.)

I do get annoyed swear like a banshee at cars who just sail along at 40mph through the 30, 50, and 60 zones near us.

Bike wankers (cyclists).

People who insist on showing me the Shit on their phone's. I'm not the least bit fucking interested in your child / holiday / night out etc. Fuck off and bore someone else to tears.

People who interrupt a conversation and then totally dominate it. Rude fuckers.

Parents who call their kids nasty names, such as ' he's a little fucking Shit' No, he's not, your just a lazy foul mouthed parent.

Adverts. On TV, radio or media. Every last one of them drive me insane, whatever the product is.

Young kids whizzing out of school on scooters and bikes. At least these school holidays are giving my bruised and bashed legs time to heal. For God's sake, BAN THEM!!!

Ignorant ill informed idiots who think they're entitled to give their opinion on subjects they know bob all about.

People who are unnecessarily self deprecating/down on themselves. There are enough people out there waiting to do that for you, get a grip!

People, usually men, who carry their umbrellas when down at a horizontal angle. Swinging them as they walk and almost stabbing anyone behind them.

People who let their kids chase/harass pigeons (or any animals for that matter!). I may have had a go at somebody's kid for kicking a pigeon once and breaking its wing.

angieloumc · 06/08/2017 22:33

People who are ALWAYS fucking late! It boils my blood; their time is so much more important than yours, a family do, a doctors, any other appointments. Can you tell someone in my family really makes me so bloody MAD!

People who don't wash their hands properly after visiting the loo.
I actually watched a woman come out of a cubicle while I was washing my hands a couple of weeks ago. She went straight out of the loo's without so much as a rinse of her grubby mitts and proceeded to sit down and start eating a burger with them. The dirty bitch.
