years that end with odd numbers as it means there is no football for three months in the summer, bar of course the u21s

LoL! I was going to write wan*^ers who sit in the middle lane too Nudga! Really wind me up they do. Brain dead jerks.

Me three.
I've racked up 6,000 miles in the last 2 months and I am pretty sure half of that was spent moaning about middle lane w**kers, people in the right hand lane doing 50 and generally just people who don't seem to be able to drive!
I wish I could go back to a train or walking commute!

My favourite twitter account @MiddlelaneKitson - Name and shame!

Another driving one - where drivers insist on sitting in the nearside lane when going past a busy junction meaning that those on the slip road/filter lane have to really slow down before they pull on - the one where the A1(M)/M1 meet and then fork off to the A64 is a nightmare for this and just no need when people can pull over...
Oh and those who don't know how to use a bloody slip road and sit at the top like a goon until the traffic clears....

This winds me up as well. Pulling onto the A1 from the Pontefract slip road. Had plenty of near misses there over the years.
-
Wheatley Hall Road, when people stay in the outside lane because they`re turning right 2 miles down the road and they go the exact same speed as the car on the inside lane!
Waiting to pull out of the road end, only to discover the car you`re waiting on is turning left into the road you`re waiting to come out, all because the arsehole that`s driving can`t be arsed to use their indicators!
Tossers that park their car across driveways without any consideration as to how the owner of the driveway is going to get out!

i do the drive to york daily that junction is a nightmare. also at ferrybridge where it goes to two lanes can people not read sign stating its going down to two lanes ? clearly not i have a near miss about once a week with people trying to squeeze in at the last second. the best thing is they get no further by doing it as its always busy

This annoys me but not as much as the guy in a lorry who moved across similar to that straight into the side of my car and
continued on driving leaving me still with lots of scratches on my front left from the undertray of the trailer. Idiot foreign driver had no numberplate on his trailer either but what can you do? I'd only had the car 4 weeks aswell - annoying. How hard are mirrors to use?
-
So, I see you've all taken the "drive" in the thread title as quite literal
lol
-
What drives me mad is when I keep a door open for someone, the Frenchgate in town being a perfect example, only for people to not say thanks or anything and they just walk through, the ignoramouses :crying: I don't know why I bother sometimes.

I was hit by a woman overtaking me while on her mobile. Sent me into a ditch, but I got her number plate.
Went to the Police, who went to see her and she denied even being out in ehr car, and the Police woudn't take it further as they were happy with her explanation.
Result - wrote off car and insurance claim against my own policy.
So if you're ever in an accident, drive off and deny it.

I share your pain. The only reason I keep doing it is for the frottage opportunity.

Frosty. It's about this time of year that I make my regular request for your holiday details. I want to make sure that my family don't end up in the same plane as you and perish in the inevitable fireball apocalypse.

That's the reason why I do it sometimes, apart from when a munter is behind me, I look away and let go of the door

This was a few year ago :)

There's only 1 for me. Searching a busy car park for a space and some Kitsons parked over 2 spaces. Sometimes this is obviously done on purpose because they have a nice car. Sometimes it's done by accident because they're a shit driver.
Either way there should be a law where you can slash any tyre not in the lines, so annoying!!

OAPs who have all week to do their shopping but insist on doing it on Saturday morning- when those of us who are working all week actually have time to shop!

Yes that one REALLY riles me and the perps do it even when a Car Park is almost empty !
Also the inconsiderate b******* who go into the spaces reserved for those less able to walk and then spring out and run into the shop.

People who answer a question with the opening line, "Yeah, no..."
The two answers are mutually incompatible you half educated f**kwits. Make up your mind.

People who, upon you answering the phone to them, say "it's me", as if anyone else would normally be ringing under their name and number, or as if that actually identified them any further...

yeah that

when people refer to sheffield wednesday as wednesdays. one is more than enough ta very much

also people saying "can i get?" when asking for something.

...and Im good when you ask how they are

Phoning the bank and what not and being told "Hi Mr XXXX, how are you today sir" when you've been on phone with them for about 10 minutes giving details...
Booking Fees online.
When people only ask the weight of a newborn as if it gives some kind of accurate description of the health of the baby.

People who say "Good good"...yes, I heard you the first time.
Drivers who can't stick to lanes on a roundabout...it's called a round about for a reason, if you were meant to drive straight across, they'd have called it a straightacross

People who ring you and have got the wrong number. Then they act as if its your fault by saying what number have I rung, and all the time adamant they have rung the right number. Dicks.......

Another shop-related one: sales assistants who ask "are you alright?" To which the answer is "I'm perfectly fine, thank you." What they should be asking is "can I help you?" Might actually get them a sale...

Found another one last night;
Public toilets where the tap only stays on while you press it. Impossible to wash your hands!

When I see this, if there is an opportunity to, i'll park along side the car, so close they can't get in the drivers side.
Did it to a Zonda a year or so back, as he clearly wanted no one to park next to him. The driver wasn't happy at all.
-
I do that too, Frosty. I reverse in so their driver's side door is next to my passenger side. I've been known to find myself a place to perch with a cup of coffee and a bun so I can watch the driver's reaction and enjoy seeing them climb across from the passenger side. I wait until they start the engine before casually stroll over, jump in and drive off. What larks!
Another thing that really gets my goat is the way that "panini" is commonly used to refer to a single panino. It really irks me to then see "paninis" for the plural. And my head just about explodes when I see "panini's"
-
OAPs who have all week to do their shopping but insist on doing it on Saturday morning- when those of us who are working all week actually have time to shop!
YES. This. And then they moan about not being able to get parked, tills being busy etc.

Queue jumpers, pusherer-inners!
f**kers!

Things on the road that drive me mad:
Drivers on Motorway who change lanes without the use of indicators. I understand they don't have to leave plenty of room but it would be nice if I know that your gonna pull out in front of me.
Cyclists who stay in the middle of the road so you have to slow down to like 5 MPH before a clearing to over take.
People who drive at 40 on a 60 road, when its bendy I don't mind but when its a straight road and not raining it winds me up, and then when you come to a 30 zone they carry on doing 40.
Temporary traffic lights.
McDonalds Drive Thru: They always get my order wrong and I have to park up and wait half an hour to finally get what I asked for.
As previously mentioned the guy who parks on two spaces in a car park.
Tractors on the road wind me up, Tractors have huge wheels and made to drive on fields yet you typically get stuck behind them on a 60 road right next to a field.
When your stuck behind a tractor/Lorry on a 60 road and its quite bendy so you can't judge whether it is safe to overtake and there is a queue building behind you and they start beeping at you even though there is traffic coming the other way so you can't overtake.
When you can finally overtake some kn*bhead comes from nowhere and overtakes everyone in the queue (and which point everyone in the queue looks at the guy overtaking and thinks in unison CRASH!)
Lorries overtaking lorries on a 2 lane motorway.
The crossings at Stainforth/Thorne, so glad they aren't running at minute.
When a car is parked on the opposite side of the road and the car coming in the opposite direction has to give way to you but clearly ignores this.
Drivers with incredibly bright lights behind you getting as close as possible to your bumper.
Not as common but those drivers, typically in a white van who overtake you when you indicate to turn right, you don't expect it and if you turn a second earlier they are going to smash into side of your car. I understand if your turning left but right, seriously?
Drivers who insist on sticking in the middle lane on a three lane motorway and going at about 64/65 MPH.
I think that just about covers it...

That's just bad driving. Leave a big enough gap between you and lorry to gauge an overtake. And if it is a bendy road, you shouldn't really be thinking about overtaking.

I love playing that game

So do I Daggers. Had some great sport doing that kind of thing.
Tell you something else I hate. We have a plague of 'em round here. Effing bloody horses mincing down every sodding road you want to drive on. Really. There's hundreds of the buggers. And they all expect you to slow down to about 3 mph, pull out to about 50 yards away from them and be happy at the prospect. why? Horses are for fields. And burgers. Not sodding roads. Get the sods off 'em and keep 'em off. I'd mow the lot down if I thought I could get away with it.

I know I should get really upset about imbalances in global income, or the Papal policy on condoms that has let AIDS go rampant through Africa.
But the one that REALLY gets me foaming at the mouth is TV presenters who say "Sicth" when they mean "Sixth".
f**king well practice at it. It is your job to say things correctly. Your inability to speak proper is the equivalent of Matty Caudwell's inability to ever be within 60 f**king yards of where the ball was going. But he was only watched by 2000 people. You are seen by several million you feckless, civilisation-destroying Kitsons.

That's how DPA works unfortunately. If any company you are with has a genuine reason to contact you, this will always be the security proceducre.

Doesn't drive me mad but I will never understand why people use the fuel pumps that are on the opposite side to their fuel caps when there are plenty available on the right side.

Maybe there weren't any available when they drove in?
Or they forgot which side the filler cap is on their car?

I pulled in behind someone last night, empty forecourt, used the wrong side. Baffling. Unless they want to show how manly they are.... Grrrr look at me I can pull a fuel hose around my car....

I dont see what the problem is. I often do that if there are no pumps free on the "right" side.

I do, but I find it funny when people are queuing for a pump on the "right side" when theres empty pumps on the "wrong side"
-
I dont see what the problem is. I often do that if there are no pumps free on the "right" side.
Which is fair enough, but what's the point if the forecourt is practically empty and there are plenty on the 'right' side? It's just bizarre!
