People who sit right on or just below the speed limit and hog the outside lane on a dual carriageway when the inside lane is empty. Presumably acting as the speed limit police as I can’t think of any other reason you’d do it. Unless of course they are turning right at the next roundabout 2 miles down the road :rolleyes:

I followed someone up the hill towards Lewes from the Beddingham roundabout recently. They joined from the A26 (Newhaven road), indicated and moved into the right hand lane straight away (which was odd as the left lane was clear). They sat in the right hand lane doing exactly 60, all the while having a clear left hand lane, before indicating left about 50 yards before the Southerham roundabout to move from the right hand lane, across the left hand lane and take the slip road round the roundabout to head west towards Brighton.
Nothing dangerous about what they were doing, not particularly annoying (would have been if they'd be going 45mph), but just WEIRD. I just thought they'd made a very early manoeuvre to turn right towards Lewes at Southerham. 🤷🏻‍♂️

The ‘look at me’ brigade. The people that sit on someone’s shoulders at gigs/festivals because they think they are so attractive that everyone will want to look at them. No thoughts for the poor sods behind. Still, at least they are good targets for the bottles of urine flying about.

Can't say I find anything wrong with asking a bus driver where they go.
Looking up bus maps / timetables can be a real pain in the arse if you're not familiar with the area. And in any case actual human interaction is something we can all do with in life.

What does annoy me is getting on a bus and asking the driver for a single to Brighton, on a bus that goes to Brighton, and INVARIABLY they say "pardon?" as though they've never heard of the place.

This may or may not have been fixed by letting people just scan on now, it's been a while since I got the bus down there. Oh wait, there's another actual human interaction removed. Joy.

Buses. It turns out buses annoy me.

Buns or cakes with icing wrapped tightly with clear cellophane thingy. Then all the icing sticks to the wrapping and your cake looks quite bare!!

People who derail threads by turning them into a fish / cheese pun-fest.

I camembert them, anyone who does that is a Comte.
It wasn't a cheese pun, it was a genuine whinge.
