Or how about those SHITPUFFINS who, just after having all their stuff beeped through at the checkout, suddenly remember that they'd forgotten to get their bag of organic CRESS. So everything is put on hold while a pre-pubescent, disinterested, clueless spotty oik is summonsed to the till and dispatched all the way back to aisle 29 to pick up said bag of cress. And you stand their with a neutral expression, whilst inside your piss is BOILING as you see half your afternoon drip-dripping away into the abyss, trapped behind the idiotic simpering HAG who's stood there smiling and rolling her eyes at herself in a "oh that's just typical ME!" kind of way, and all the time you just want to grab the bacofoil from her trolley and ram it down her flaccid turkey-neck throat until she chokes to death on her own VOMIT.

You have been shopping at waitrose again haven't you!

Pedestrians who don't acknowledge vehicles that stop to let them cross at a zebra crossing.

Bit patronising to acknowledge drivers following the highway code? Do you acknowledge vehicles that stop for red lights at pedestrian crossings?

Not really. Loads of drivers just plough on through, while pretending not to notice you.

DJ's TALKING over the end-of-song Guitar Solos

I'm looking at YOU CHRIS EVANS, specifically on HOTEL CALIFORNIA.

I almost flipped my car off the road.

A hanging offence in my book...

Using a mobile phone while driving

There must be a way of putting cameras on motorways to catch the people who do this, its not the talking on the phone that winds me up massively its those idiots who can clearly be seen looking down at their mobile at texts/twitter/facebook while travelling at 60mph in the middle lane of a motorway. some are even typing on the phone. 9 times out of 10 in an accident I bet they survive when the other person doesn't.

Oh and people who park on zebra crossing markings to go to the bank or on Bexhill seafront to go to the chip shop, lazy *****

Totally agree. There's no excuse for playing Hotel California in this day and age.

Or as the great John Dowie once put it...

'The Dutch, the Dutch
I hate them worse than dogs.
They live in fookin windmills
And they mince around in clogs.'

That's beautiful.

Pedestrians who don't acknowledge vehicles that stop to let them cross at a zebra crossing. :

Interesting, it annoys me when they do, I want to yell "get on with it and just cross the road"

I always acknowledge the driver if they stop - it's just polite.

It takes me no more time to cross whether I wave/thumbsup a thank you at the driver or not

Well it does break up the monotony of the same 10 'pop' songs on repeat that pretty much all stations seem to play these days. ..............day in....................day out.................

I don't think they usually stop and wave at you. Do they?

There was a debate about this recently where the consensus was that there's no point in increasing the penalty for the offence as the majority of people who do it know that they're never going to be caught.

The only way more will be caught is by having more police on the motorways/roads. The government are cutting funding to the police because they can "streamline" their operations using fewer officers to "work smarter".

I wonder why I see more and more idiots doing this. Oh, no I don't.

So do you acknowledge the driver if they stop at a red light?

Fixed your post for you.

Sent from my iPhone via tapatalk whilst sitting at my desk at work trying to decide if I should take a dump now or leave it a bit longer so my colleagues can enjoy a few more of my pre poo farts.

Last few posts confirm again that I'm glad I'm not on Facebook. Every time I consider the benefits of joining I think of threads like this and remember they are massively outweighed.

Two years clean now and so liberating it is. Those who use it aren't exactly in a position to gripe about the amount of shit on there really.

Seriously?

 

[pasty]

So do you acknowledge the driver if they stop at a red light?

No. Stopping at a red light is not optional.

I sort of understand what you are saying in that the highway code says you have to stop at a zebra crossing as well, but lots of drivers don't, so I just think it polite to acknowledge one when they do.

 

[pb21]

Seriously?

Well maybe patronising was the wrong way to put it but they're obliged to stop, you are basically acknowledging them following the rules of the road and not running you over. I bet people who acknowledge those who stop at a zebra crossing don't those who stop at a red light, I don't get the logic!

I'm all for being polite, just think a more logical way to be polite on a zebra crossing is to move on as quickly and safely as possible and not hold anyone up, letting everyone get on with their business!

You'd hate me then.
I start crossing, then wander over to the car that's stopped for me, gesture for them to wind their window down and give them a cheery "cheers mate" with a thumbs up, before continuing on my way.
