Stupid little things that bug you

[idahoblues]

Probably been mentioned but anyone who doesn’t reverse in to a parking space without genuine good reason should be executed.

There’s a town down the road where reverse parking is mandatory, sometimes good, sometimes bad

I always drive in and reverse out.

It's quicker to point the car and park to keep the rest of the road clear for others to flow, easily to load and when reversing out gives a larger area to reverse into....some people really a big area to reverse into and should consider the above as it takes them forever to get into a space.

If they're the same quality of driver as here.........I think I'd consider setting up my chair and watching that, just for sheer amusement. :)

This.

And I know it’s a cliche but it’s usually women

You are wrong.

Why is that?

Just see so many cars having to reverse out of spaces in car parks causing murders, disrupting the flow of traffic, they don’t have a clear line of sight so pull out in people, etc. etc. execution probably harsh for a first offender so maybe 3 strikes and your out

You get a better view when emerging. However reversing in can lead to a ball ache if you're trying to put shopping in the boot.
Note: Yanks always used to drive in and reverse out due to the sheer length of their cars leading to lots of damage to car park walls if they reversed in. Reversing sensors should reduce that these days.

Yes when loading something in particular I’d say it passes as good reason so I wouldn’t execute in that instance.

I like that degree of compassion!! Would you also consider executing those who park in disabled bays and mum and brat bays without due cause?

Absolutely mate, especially disabled bays!!

330 ml beer bottles, what's that about ?

Great invention. Saves offering guests anything bigger.

I encounter the same issues. I'm too fast for the slow lane and too slow for the fast lane so always head for "medium".
I'm always faced with people with no spatial awareness, in that they are slow, but don't give way at the end of lengths for faster swimmers, or too fast for the lane and they go all "passive aggressive".
And I've had some interesting scenarios at the Aquatics Centre in Manchester where some of the Chinese students don't seem to understand the concept of clockwise and anti-clockwise.
My pet hate though is people using the pool to chat, whether it be those hogging the end of the lane to have inane conversations, or middle aged women swimming in parallel really slowly gibbering away and hogging the whole lane. Just go to a café or a pub if you want to chat about the price of fish!

Oh god, there’s alway that pair that swim side by side chatting swimming slow that your stuck behind

Sensors are useful when you have Bert and Ada, oblivious to all things around them, walk behind the back of your car when you are in the middle of carrying out a reversing manoeuvre. They can see what you're bloody doing!
Grinds my gears that.

Actually, I do tend to reverse in as I find it more difficult to drive into a parking space unless there’s a wide turning circle. I find it a pain in the neck though when the car in the space behind has parked within inches of my boot and I have to put my shopping on the back seat or move my car forward. I usually find that it’s a man who’s driven that car;)

Cant you swim under them and show your arse.

Over two weeks ago me and another bloke pulled two people out of the harbour. The woman was easy to pull out but the bloke was hard, we couldn't lift him. Luckily another bloke came along and the 3 of us pulled him out.
At this time of year that's two life's saved. We organised the ambulance etc. Got blankets and carried out first aid

The thing that bugs me is that not one of them have said thanks. It might sound bad but if it was my life saved I would go out of my way to thank them.

Still I guess it takes all sorts, wouldn't stop me from doing it again, it was just luck that I heard a faint shout of help. I didn't save them to get a pat on the back but a thank you would have been nice

When people don't agree with you and think it's "Exhausting" , it's so passive aggressive it's painful :)
