Re: Things that drive you mad about the human race
Plenty of things but whilst we're on driving, it has to be middle lane drivers on the motorway, and what gets me about a lot of them is they are youngish - middle aged men , the sort that you will meet down the pub slagging off women drivers.

How many times have i pull out from the inside lane to pass one one of these inconsiderate idiots in the middle onto the outside lane & then head back to the inside lane on a empty road looking back in my mirror to see this kind of motorist still piddling down the middle lane totally oblivious to what is going on around them
The M1 is a classic around Nottingham, a four lane carriageway was constructed only for the majority of drivers not to use the first two lanes hence traffic jams build up.....crazy

Re: Things that drive you mad about the human race
Dropping litter in the street, but worse than that I go into the dales and Lake District quite often and I'm starting to find it being dropped in our beautiful countryside.
Even worse thrown from vehicles, next time you come off the motorway look at all the rubbish and bottles at the end of the slip road in the long grass and bushes.
I've seen this happen several times and it's usually the Audi/ BMW type who are dashing to a meeting and don't want any rubbish in their car just in case anyone has to get in or see it.... Makes my blood boil.

If we're talking big things - bigotry, selfishness and greed.
If we're talking little things....
People who leave their rubbish on the train
People who leave their shopping trolleys in parking spots
People who stare fixedly/type on their smart phones/tablets while walking rather than looking where they are going.

Re: Things that drive you mad about the human race
The list is endless, here's two for starters
People who are so impatient at shop tills who can't wait for you to be finished being served & almost jump in your trolley.
One of these days i am going to say "would they jump in my grave as quick" !!!
When we're out for a meal, people who use their utensils incorrectly shovelling their food down with their mouths wide open looking more like a cement mixer, what they need is a shovel
Next......

Re: Things that drive you mad about the human race
Coming back from Somerset on Sunday evening, inside lane doing 70, quickly catching up a small white van doing about 50 in the middle lane, with nothing ahead of him in either lane, so I indicate to the third lane to overtake, when I'm along side him I look over and the pr!ck is actually texting, sometimes I wish I was a copper.1964white wrote:

Re: Things that drive you mad about the human race
The temerity of die-hard creationists who deride Darwinian evolution as lacking in evidence in the same breath as expressing as fact the miracles of Jesus Christ.
I'm not saying one belief is better than the other per se, just that the criteria of validity for one theory should equally be applied to the other. I despise hypocrisy.

I really don't get the problem anyone has with middle lane drivers. I've never had a problem with them down here. If there's a car on the inside lane I will overtake in the next minute or two then I stay in the middle lane, and as a clear inside lane is as common as a three headed pig then I tend to stay mostly in the middle lane, with the odd move to the outside
