Stupid little things that bug you

[East Level 2]

Traffic lights

You are the only car on the road yet they change to red as you approach. In this day and age we must have the technology to keep them on green if the roads are empty.

Technology exists but no always implemented.

Almost as nauseating as "in these unprecedented times".

Thank you, was going to post the same.
"I'm no royalist...."
Almost as anoying as
"You are so and so, and I claim my £5"

Or taxi drivers who think flashing their lights at a red light make them turn green quicker because they once happened to change by chance when they did it 15 years ago.

I think that you are correct, albeit as a synonym not a verb but in the lexicon. There must be others too but I can't think of any.

These fucking 50mph zones on motorways that go on for miles and last months due to “work” but there is literally never any **** there doing any work.

Correct, also you can only officially go for a crap if your convience was made by Thomas Crapper

The flushing toilet was actually invented by an Irishman, however it was Mr Crapper who first put a hole in the seat.

Straight line wankers, as in drivers who obviously think their vehicle will barrel roll in a ball of fire if they take a corner at more than 15 miles an hour but put their foot down as soon as there is a tiny bit of straight road ahead, clearly not noticing or giving a flying fuck if they do notice, the massive queue of traffic who can actually drive forming behind them.

Not every one of these (insert expletive here) are ferrying their crippled granny to the osteo ward whilst delivering eggs.

I like to ask them if they are taking their goldfish out for a drive.
