Stupid little things that bug you

Motorway signs which advise of a lane closure but never say which lane.

Directional signs which are either smashed up or obscured by foliage so badly that you can't read them.

Speed restrictions which the car detects (although you haven't seen any signs!) initiating an unexpected brake application.

Roadworks signs on motorways instructing you to do 50mph even though the x miles of coned off road has no sign of anyone doing any work within it.

Tailgaters.

People driving at the wrong speed on roads, ie too fast or too slow.

Road intersections or junctions which are so close together that, even though you are listening to the instructions, you still take the wrong turning.

Overhead illuminated road signs displaying a speed restriction, in the wrong place, or the operator has been too slow in taking it off (the hazard having long since been removed).

Drivers who think that because they have bought an expensive car, that they own the road, or at least be in front of you.
 
Can I have another - local councils (Stockport in this case) who remove tarmac you can drive on and then complain about traffic jams which are caused as a direct result!

I've realised I have stacks like this related to Stockport MBC's mealy-mouthed councillors & traffic management people!
 
Royal Mail are increasing the cost of a first class stamp for the fifth time in 18 months on 7th October, this time by a whopping 30p making the cost of sending a first class letter £1.65. On top of that the bloke in my local post office told me that it's set to go up again March next year making it six price increases in just under two years. They're currently pushing for Saturday deliveries to be canned too. Time for Royal Mail to be re-nationalised.

Trouble is it's going to cost £1.65 a letter whether the private sector run as their pension or the unions let you know when you can have your post
