mystery machine Posted November 1, 2009 Author Posted November 1, 2009 drivers who slow down when you come up behind them How close 'up behind them' are we talking here?
4Hero Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 I'll put in: Chavs and their text speak People who do not indicate, is it really that difficult? People who use their phones while driving The British Government (all of them) Chavs and their text speak.
scoob fae ork Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 How close 'up behind them' are we talking here? Not that close
lewisscoob Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 (edited) My 2p worth... Car parking charges. People who do not know how to use a passing place effectively (if at all!). The vast majority of caravanners/campervans and their "driving style". That gimp with the bushy hair off fifth gear. Incourteous drivers. "Temporary" roadworks. Traffic wardens/nazi's. The imminent threat of pay as you drive. The cost of a mortgage. Council tax. One way systems. Poorly maintained drainage systems on our roads. Being miles away from my scoob for 7 weeks. The government. People who use baby buggies like snow ploughs. People who sit on their a*** complaining about immigrants (legal or otherwise) coming in and "stealing" their jobs. To have something stolen involves having something in the first place. Professional beggars. Spam email. Being paid less and doing a bucket load more than the person in the job directly above you. Liars, cheaters, fraudsters (that may have been covered by the government). Working weekends and on birthdays. Drunk drivers. Edited November 1, 2009 by LewisScoob
mystery machine Posted November 1, 2009 Author Posted November 1, 2009 Great list, LewisScoob Being paid less and doing a bucket load more than the person in the job directly above you.Oh yes, oh yes
soundie Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 (edited) you won't be complaining when you've worked hard and got that job (happy birthday lewisscoob - hope you won't be putting 'birthdays' into room 101 later on ) Edited November 1, 2009 by soundie
lewisscoob Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 you won't be complaining when you've worked hard and got that job (happy birthday lewisscoob - hope you won't be putting 'birthdays' into room 101 later on ) Thanks for the birthday wish! I wont be working hard for his job, I'll be jumping above him and telling him what to do afore too long!
StewartyBoy Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 (edited) "People who sit at 50mph in the MIDDLE lane of the motorway when the inside lane is clear" What is that all about, really. Im not a tailgater by any means, that's also a pet hate but the centre lane is a "Comfort Zone" for a lot of drivers. Not too fast to be tagged as a speeder, not too slow to be tagged as a Sunday driver. Its should be named the Mediocre lane for boring, annoying, people carrying, school running, flat capping, bus driving, woman chatting, ****heading prats! Traffic lights are also tad annoying, just try living at the far end of Braheead behind Xscape. It takes me half a bloody hour to get to Glasgow Audi... Edited November 1, 2009 by StewartyBoy
weedman Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 FFS cant believe i missed out on these ones, they are probably my biggest gripes ever, If theres one thing that makes my blood boil is sitting five cars back doing 40 in a 60 with a clear road and none of the other cars making an attempt to pass the moron in front (usually some old granny in a nissan micra) these type of people are as dangerous as the morons who drive like idiots and when you do overtake its all flashing lights and bloody horns even if the opposite side of the road is clear for miles Yeh and its not just that they won't overtake - they won't drop back from the vehicle in front and leave a gap for overtakers to use. You end up having to pass 2/3/4 vehicles at a time. And as you say when you do go for the overtake, you are treated like a loony.
Wee Jock Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 I would put this in, cos its not much use for nowt else!
mystery machine Posted November 1, 2009 Author Posted November 1, 2009 Its should be named the Mediocre lane for boring, annoying, people carrying, school running, flat capping, bus driving, woman chatting, ****heading prats! I'd like to add those Halfords adverts that bookend the commercial breaks on Dave - honestly, could they be any more inert and unfunny!?
Wee Jock Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 that looks like my old sport, Nope! JDM WRX 1995!

RA Dunk Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 A$$ holes with big long shoes Folk that where very long shoes Winkle Pickers I'm sure I'll be back ROFL Jon whats your obsession with shoes/big feet
mystery machine Posted November 2, 2009 Author Posted November 2, 2009 ROFL Jon whats your obsession with shoes/big feet Quite, that was hilarious Bad experience with a clown?
jcscoob Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 Na lads i quite like clowns, i just think its a waist of leather, no one needs shoesthat long that they overhang yer feet by a good 1/3'd and come to long point, unless there waiting in anticipation for the ice coming so they can do the longest "wee mannys" in the playground.
weedman Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 The M8. Had to go through to Edinburgh today for the first time in ages, and forgotten quite how much I loathe this road. Lane discipline - nil. Constantly tempted to use that empty piece of tarmac known as lane 1. Following distances - microscopic. How difficult is it to leave a decent gap to the vehicle in front? A horrible road - can you think of two major English cities 50 miles apart that don't have a three lane motorway link?
stum450n Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 I would like to add public toilets to the list - disgusting doesn't even cut it!
RA Dunk Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 I would like to add public toilets to the list - disgusting doesn't even cut it! George Michael dosent seem to think so
stum450n Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 George Michael dosent seem to think so Very true, best add him to the list too!

A horrible road - can you think of two major English cities 50 miles apart that don't have a three lane motorway link? The problem with leaving a gap is some t**t will just pop into that gap! Gets on my nerves too, the driving ability in the UK is generally shocking. Every day I come along the Edinburgh Airport road heading to Newbridge roundabout, the amount of people that stay in the "fast lane" then sneak in at the last minute (without indicating) gets on my tits. I remember once, I was in the scooby, this big 4x4 trying to do exactly that, which would have forced me into the slip for the m8. There was no was I was moving, he was not happy at all. Luckily he was going the same road as me heading to Broxburn, which gave me even more time to wind him up
