Quote from: darrsi on 16 November 2016, 11:49:43 pmI was trying to explain to a car driver yesterday that said to me he swerves out the way of bikes to let them pass.I said there was simply no need, just stay straight and the bike will pass whenever they feel it's okay to do so, then they're gone!Yeah I hate that. I know they are trying to be courteous but sometimes your not looking to overtake but you feel the need to just because they've moved over. If not you just get that awkward few hundred metres until they give up and then act like your the knob

Yep I'm a white van man as well. No rear side windows and no rear view either cos of solid back doors. Bikiers for foc sake think about that when you are up the arse of a van. I mainly see it from morons with all the tell tale signs, darkened windows, bucket seats, black chequer cloth on bonnet, blue side lights, wonky after-market led daylights (with at least 2 leds already blown), bean can exhaust, lowered suspension.And the reason for the swing out is to go around the corner faster

Not sure if this has been posted before but this REALLY gets my goatINCORRECTLY ADJUSTED HEADLIGHTS both for oncoming traffic and the wanker behind whos right on my tail with no chance of overtaking.......arggggggggggghh
People who take things from somewhere and then don't put them back, eg scissors, selotape, tweezers, etc.
What gets my goat? People who take things from somewhere and then don't put them back, eg scissors, selotape, tweezers, etc.. People who borrow tools and equipment from you and don't bring them back without you asking for them, but to do that you have to remember who you lent them to months ago. People who cant use roundabouts. People who don't fold over the end of the selotape so you can find the end. People who think is ok to park up at the side of the road, then fling the drivers door open as wide as possible to get out, oh for a landrover with Armco all around it! People who leave the top off the toothpaste. People who put butter in the fridge so its impossible to spread onto bread. Almost all women drivers, absolutely no idea about what is going on around them (sorry, but there you go) . Motorway roadworks with 50mph camera enforced limits with no one working on them. I've got to stop, I can feel my blood pressure going up.

I hope I don't get reincarnated as you Billy, because I would come back as nearly the same person as I already am.My kids and wife drive me mad, I purchase all the useful stuff that you mention and keep it in the cupboard in my home office, so I know where it is when I want it and knowing that I have it, no panic.BUT Who the f--k has taken my sellotape, glue stick, postage stamps, ruler, tape measure, stapler, hole punch, pencil rubber, you can replace any of the former with almost anything else you might happen upon in a home office cupboard. Why Oh Why? can't people put things back after they borrow them.

Why Oh Why? can't people put things back after they borrow them. 😂😂This really tickles me because I'm the exact same. But I have hidden all my useful things in my tool box. I have a tray that's got my scissors, sellotape, super glue, batteries etc etc and the family don't have a clue it about it 😈 Strange how you change with age. Not too many years ago I would have been hiding porn in places like that. Now I just have a secret craft tray 😂👴🙈
OOOOH Billy Boy and I thought I had a problem BUT this bit QuotePeople who take things from somewhere and then don't put them back, eg scissors, selotape, tweezers, etc.First off what the FOC are you doing with tweezers and secondly the only joy I get in life (apart from riding my Fazer) is NOT putting things back -just so to piss off Mrs Sharp
