Little things that irritate you

Anything goes in The Snug, General Discussion's rebellious little brother. An off-topic den of iniquity where any subject not covered elsewhere may be discussed. Well, anything except golf, Star Wars and Arsenal.

Yes, this totally baffles me too.

Braking on motorways ought to be confined to real emergency. The amount of people who go downhill, slightly increasing speed, on a motorway, and press their brakes is unreal.

…and another for driving in Italy, it is totally crackers!! Got back from Sicily about a month ago and it seems to me that lines in the road are there just for decoration, and why pull out fully to the adjacent lane when overtaking if you don’t have to.

A few years back I was first car at the lights in a queue of traffic when they changed to green - not having the driving reflexes of Lewis Hamilton, it took me a shade more than 3 nano-seconds to pull away. You’d have thought I’d turned the engine off and got out for a picnic - almost immediately, every car behind me wanted to wear out their car horns!!

However …. driving in Italy is a breeze compared to Vietnam!!!

That I still get wound up when people call me a "nerd" for playing Warhammer.
I love it. The best Fantasy/Sci-Fi setting that has ever been created. I find a game at the weekend or an evening after work is great for stress relief. Maybe it is their problem, not mine? I thought "nerd" was the new "cool" these days.

On my motorbike on the new A13 some years ago, open road with no speed cameras on it any more at that stretch, so going fairly fast behind a car, hoping they'll soon see me & change lanes, instead of making me undertake them.
The c*nt suddenly sees the old white lines across the road at the last second (where there USED to be a camera) & slams their brakes on, nearly twatting me in the process.
As if sharply breaking as they went over the lines, would have stopped them getting a speeding ticket, anyway.
Obviously hadn't a f*cking clue about anything outside of their car.

I killed one of those bastards just yesterday. I’ve got your back, Dan, but it won’t be enough to prevent amputation.

They love an outside meter box.
Not so keen on a blowtorch though.

I have to check the bed every night, after finding one under my pillow once.

Nasty, evil looking bastards.

Don't Google false widow bites, whatever you do..

Absolute twatsticks that go to join a 70mph dual carriage way, and instead of accelerating off of the slip road to feet in to the flow of traffic, brake.

As well as the bog-standard 50mph twatsticks in lane 2/3 on a 3/4 lane road, completely oblivious. Usually brown skinned, in a Prius (other leased hybrids are available), with a TfL roundel of death in the rear window...

So if your motoring along the motorway and realise you're doing 90mph, I think you're more than likely to tap the brakes.
