In the mood for ranting today, so here's my starter for ten:

  • Drivers who park closer up the side of your car than necessary.
  • The evil cousin of the above, the careless munter who opens his/her car door onto yours.
  • Cyclists who appear out of the blue in queuing traffic and pass within millimeters of your bodywork.
  • Comments from passers-by when you're washing your car to the effect of "you can do mine when you're finished!". Hardy. Hardy. Har.
  • Digital roadside signs that display useless information that does nothing more than distract drivers - they could at least flash jokes up there, or a weather forecast, or fitbaw scores (or even nikked wummins, if the technology's up to it?).
  • Gritters spraying the highways on dry evenings when it would be warm enough to take the bins oot in yer kekks.

Anything to add? The less obvious, the better :P

P.S. Let's no' get too heavy - wouldn't want it to turn into a 'haters' thread (I hate those) :)

Folk who never indicate the direction they are going :P

.......probably just people who constantly moan about anything! :)

Ranting is a proven (and often entertaining) method of stress relief and as a Scotsman it is my duty to ensure that at least 50% of my verbal communications include a moan or gripe of some sort (75% for folks from Dundee). We're not Englanders - "mustn't grumble" is not part of our vocabulary*.

Complain away folks...

* let it be known that I have no general gripe about English peoples - canny bunch of lads, most of them :P

That's the spirit :P

And what about those chumps who fail to cancel their indicators even after a mile of motorway traffic has passed them, lights a-flashing, horns a-tooting?

Now we're rolling, have to add phoney 'green' road tax to that too...

While we are on the "green" thing: protesters who protest at anything simply becasue they are associated with Greenpeace or an equally harmful/useless eco-warrior type body of nutters.

Almost as bad as that curious breed of low-brow vigilante that have emerged in the last decade or so, a bunch of whom got into trouble a while back for vandalising the home of some poor woman after discovering that she was an acting PEDIATRICIAN :P

On the Scooby theme:

  • Hawkeye tail lamps (much prefer the Bug/Blob items)

I'll add:

Almost any new legislation that is introduced to supposedly 'save lives'. Yes, that's a little emotional trick the government like to play on an unwary public when they're planning to:

- Raise taxes (road tax - environmentally friendly, green, saves lives).

- Add a new stealth tax (more speed cameras, saves lives).

- Strip you of your civil liberties or other consumer freedoms (smoking ban, minimum pricing for alcohol - saves lives).

- Invade your privacy (more CCTV, snooping on emails to identify 'terrorist networks', saves lives).

How about locking us in our houses and feeding us through our letterboxes? That could save thousands of lives!

I didn't think you could get within 50 yards of a smoker these days even if you wanted to...

I gave up years ago... seldom bothered me since then, before the public smoking ban or after. If smoke ever came my way and I didn't like it, I'd usually exercise my own free will, discretion and self-preservation by erm... moving away from it :)

It's a radical idea, but evidently not for everyone :P

its hard to dodge smokers now that they're forced to smoke on the street

my list includes

- stupid commuters that get in my way when I get on/off the bus

- stupid commuters that talk so loudly on their mobile that its hard NOT to listen in to their conversation

- people that dont know how to use an umbrella and hold it at such an angle you just know you're going to walk into it

- the sudden increase of girls with fake blond hair, fake tan + heavy makeup

- the smell of cigarette ends burning each other in the ashtray-bit of bins

motoring ones include

- folk that don't queue at individual pumps in the petrol station but wait at the entrance, blocking me from getting into the station

- folk that sit at traffic lights with their foot on the brake. use the handbrake and stop blinding me with your rear brake lights
