Happened to me on a dual carriage way once and at rush hour close to a juction. I think the drivers though I was trying to push into the cue and I had to keep gesturing to them to look behind to see the blue flashing lights!!!

In this particular case the ambulance had gone past and we were all moving back right when someone pops out from behind and overtakes us all.

No one seems to use the latter term any more, so perhaps it can be regarded as obsolete.

It shouldn't as there's a significant difference between those terms. :/

People who moan about being caught by speed cameras.
If you don't break any laws/regulations, the speed camera will be irrelevant to you, no matter how visible it is. |

- gerontophile (a person who's sexually attracted to elderly people) - necrophile (a person who's sexually attracted to corpses) - coprophile (a person who enjoys sexual games involving faeces) I actually learnt all that from playing Scrabble. |

Family weddings. Urgh, really don't want to go.
If I do go they (the couple and their family) won't bother to speak to me, my cousins never make the effort to even say'hi' at these occasions. BUT if I don't attend I'm 100% sure that the family will bitch about me (to extended family - my grandad etc) and say I've ruined things for not being there on the day. Also I had two really fun things planned this weekend and now I can't do either cus of this wedding. Plus I can't stand weddings. *insert incredibly grumpy face here |

Slow walkers in town, I'm not on about people who cant do anything about it like elderly people or people on crutches etc but normal people, often schoolchildren who walk at an incredibly slow pace and normally in a line so its hard to walk past them. See also people who suddenly stop in the middle of the street.

16-year-old. What else is new? He's stressed enough to wind his sister up whenever possible.
So they did nothing but fight all week. This morning? Five fights before 8AM. When it calms down, something else will set them off a few minutes later. All that left me frazzled enough to think in a tiny voice: "I should have been sterilised. I should have been sterilised. I should have been sterilised. I should have been sterilised. I should have been sterilised. I should have been sterilised. I should have been sterilised. I should have been sterilised. I should have been sterilised. I should have been sterilised." Yeah, I should have been sterilised. Easier than saying I loathe teenagers at the moment. |

I feel bad saying this as I'm a cyclist myself....but....
Being stuck behind the Lyrca'd arse of a bloke as he makes sure I drive at 19 mph on a winding B-road for about 22 miles. I object to the a) unadvertised rolling traffic obstruction (i.e the road race. Go mountain biking instead, you don't breath in fumes and case a feckin drama on the roads I pay for). b)The purple Lycra arse. Arrrghhh! It's like every weekend at the moment. I go out looking for countryside...I get miles and mile of frustration and Lycra arse. Thanks for listening.

'Loosing' still p***ing me off.
There should be a tax for everyone that spells losing with two 'o's - 50p every time. |

Traffic lights that pedestrians can't see. It's not as simple as just waiting for a lack of traffic, as you could be on only your 2nd step into the road before a queue of cars zip around the corner towards you.
More bridges, that's what we need!

When you're being served in BK/ McDonalds/ KFC, and they take your order put drinks on your tray, then say 'will just be one minute for the rest of your order' then the next customer puts their handbag/ money/ wallet/ sweat hands on your tray, before the server then put your food directly where the other customer's sweaty/ dirty had just been. So annoying! GGrrrr

Also don't understand people who walk at a 'strolling pace' when they are obviously not a tourist and is actually going somewhere for their effort. |

The button on the shirt I was wearing at work that didn't want to stay done up. (Fortunately, it was over my midriff rather than over my breasts.) Quote:

Flies.
There's one in my house and it's driving me loopy. I'm going to go all Walter white on it soon. |
