Little things that irritate you

I actually think Fury's pretty entertaining, and is doing a decent job of selling this fight. Yeah, he's still going to get handled, but at least his interviews have been amusing.

I haven't really followed boxing much in recent times and didn't really know who fury was but when I saw Fury v Chisora I found myself rooting for the latter. I know they all have to put on an act to a certain degree, but I felt Fury was just irritating and trying too hard to create a persona. He wants to be the entertainer but lacks natural charisma.

Approaching this junction going north between 8-9am is a bitch too. As usual, people wait til the last second before moving over. :thdn:

All combat sports really.

But boxing is just corrupt, classless and basically WWF taken seriously.

Drivers on little country lanes. Following a car this morning on a road where there is ample space for two cars to pass each other, but you need to slow down if faced with a van or bigger. He slowed right down at every tiny bend, even when you could clearly see nothing coming, and virtually stopped every time a car came towards him even though there was loads of space. So frustrating

People who dictate the pace in the outside lane on motorways. If you want to drive at 65 MPH move over...

People who want to drive at 110 MPH and get right up your arse or weave in and out of traffic.

People that don't indicate.

People who break before indicating when they are turning into a drive etc. Why are you suddenly slamming your breaks on with no traffic around...oh you are turning left...if only there was a way you could have given some indication.

People who indicate to move lanes but only after they are already half way into the lane. Equally annoying are the people who think that indicating gives them the right to just pull in when there isn't a gap.

People who get in the left lane in traffic at a junction because it is moving quicker as people are coming off & then immediately try to get back over just past the junction. Well done you get 3 cars further in front.

Basically other drivers irritate me. I'd like to have enough money to buy multiple jeeps with grates on the front and deliberately drive into people that can't drive.

Oh and people that try to cut in at the front at the Beckton flyover on the A13. I've just been queuing here for fun..go right in. This is particularly bad on a match day at this time of year.

Worse still those people that cut in, often drive down the left lane (bus lane) and cut in again at the lights where people are turning right.

I hate driving in country lanes.
The locals dart around at 80 miles an hour because they know every bend whilst us city slickers are a bit more cautious.
