Stupid little things that bug you

[Tuearts right boot]

Ah
You have no doubt seen the old Cowboy films where the trains have cow pushers on the front. I think all hgv drivers should havev them on the front.

Or RPGs

Always get charged. If I buy a pint at the pub I get charged about 11c

In Australia that is.
You can use an ATM from your bank and not get charged, but there getting crafty and removing all the bank owned ATMs and using independent ones.

Most places in Oz don't charge a fee.
Coffee club charge 3 cents.

Ah right, it’s not allowed in the UK. The ATMs here allow users from any bank to withdraw (mainly) although some do charge.

People double parking, and putting on their hazard lights to cover themselves. It's rife in rural Ireland, when someone nips into the shop. "Sure, I'll only be a minute". And plenty of parking spaces 50 yards up the road..

People who reserve sun beds by the pool with towels are nonces

As a lorry driver, one of the most frustrating things on the motorway is approaching a car doing less than 56mph (my max limit), committing to overtake them, only to watch them accelerate, leaving me hanging in the middle lane.
Also, drivers who are approaching a slip road at a million miles an hour and squeeze into the gap in front of you, slamming their brakes on. All the while there's a huge space behind you they could have eased into and all it would have cost them in their day was an extra 0.25 seconds.

I have seen this in live action. Some stupid **** slipped straight in front of a HGV, causing it to brake so fiercely that the cab shook on its springs. The stupid **** then had the nerve to give the HGV driver the finger when he (understandably) remonstrated.

I was in the inside lane at the time, as we were about to turn off, and but for the grace of God we should all of us have been spread across the M-way like jam.

Sellers on eBay with a reserve price but start the bidding at 99p, just start the bidding at the minimum price you’d accept

Security guards in Zara and H&M at the Trafford Centre refused me entry as i was carrying a Boost drink. What’s wrong with these places, are they not worried about deterring people from spending money ?

It’s not all bad news though ….. staff at Selfridges, John Lewis and Breitling didn’t bat an eyelid as I swaggered in brazenly swigging from my cup

My next door neighbour again lol

After covering our cars in shit splashed up from having her driveway yet washed a few months ago, so now does this !

At about 8pm last night our quiet cull de sac two fire engines came flying down on blues n tunes.
I take a look out the window it turns out our next door neighbour called them out because she thought her car was on fire. Fair enough.
It wasn't.
But as our cars are close together why didn't she let me know so I could remove our cars ?

Little things like that annoy me, she has our phone number and we get along fine with each other.

How exactly do you think your car is on fire ?
Other than steam coming out of the radiator, (does that even happen nowadays ?) What could possibly make her think the fire brigade needed to come out.?
