Today's "What Gets My Goat" - NO POLITICS!

[fazersharp]

Cars with those stupid HID bulbs so bright white light its like daylight.
The other night I was traveling in my car down a country lane I did not know with lots of humps and hollows and bends- I get this git in a merc behind me right up my arse with lights so bight they were casting a black shadow of my car in front of me and everything else each side of this shadow was bright white it was like driving into a hole, I had to slow right down to 20 mph which made him get even closer which made it get even worse which ment I had to go even slower, there wasnt even a good spot for me to let him pass.

[Freck]

Bloody car drivers who drive down country lanes with their main beam on (even when it's still light enough to see) and then seem to forget where the switch is to dip them, as they've just blinded you!
The buggers then pop the main beam back on just as they're passing you, just to give you one last blinding  :'(
EAT MORE CARROTS YER FOCCERS, then you won't be blinding everyone  >:

........and relax

Had that tonight, bastard white van man creeping forward so half his van was sticking out so I shook my head at him as approached him and went past so he didn't pull out.


He then flew past me and further down the road he indicated left whilst in the right lane then cut right across me and both lanes and turned left into the next road. :eek


After a good blast of the air horn he shot off again and at the end of the road he put his right indicator on.......and turned left.  :rolleyes


Prick!

Spiders! The bloody things are working overtime spinning webs at our house at the moment.

I think they're waiting until I've gone in the house and then they're spinning another bloody web across the back door....... at head height too! Little [email]B@stards[/email]!!  >:

I much prefer having spiders around than the stupid insects that they thankfully eat... the webs can get a little annoying when put in stupid places but I'm generally pro-spider these days - I've gotten over any major fear of them

:agree here. 1+ for spiders. And they bring luck too you know. Never kill a spider if you do not want bad karma. I have one living in my car front mirror for years. Even we have been on a France holiday together  :lol eat your heart DEFRA I have not paid Eurofunnel dudes for his travel either  :rollin :rollin :rollin

Guaranteed someone dumped it in there from their basket when they saw a cheaper one in that bin :rollin

People who use the hazard lights while parked in front of other vehicles, WTF?
It looks like your indicating to come out and some good guy (me) slows down to let you out but alas you don't come out as your not in the vehicle and no one can see your nearside indicator on.
Not only is it annoying it's illegal according to the highway code. Go and read rules 239 for parking and 274 for use of hazard lights :groan

[BBROWN1664]

maybe the car behind wasn't there when the hazard flasher abandoned their car?

[sinto607276]

Nah, I don't think that's the case, well maybe that happens about 5% of the time, I see guys just pulling in, reversing up a wee bit and putting their hazards on, think it's in the couriers handbook of rules as it's generally them and post office workers that do it,  plonkers!

[Stewie]

What gets my goat is on motorways and A roads when people see a lorry in the far far far distance and pull out to overtake and then every one else moves out in sympathy so you can be stuck in  useless queue of trafic for 5 minutes as everyone trundles past.
Whats worse is that the lorry has moved back in but everyone has moved now and they are damn well staying there.
I did over half a mile in the inside lane at nearly legal speeds with the outside lane doing 50-55 and no one in the middle lane.

[limax2]

Here here Stewie. I don't normally go in for an undertake but like you if there is an empty lane between us I will sometimes do it. Many is the time I have gone from inside lane to third lane and back to inside lane to pass a middle lane hog who still doesn't get the message. I've always been impressed on French motorways how quickly they get back to the inside lane, don't know if it's a law that gets enforced over there.

There's a nursery school on my way to work and the parents must've all been told to leave their hazards on whilst parked up.
It is annoying,  especially if one of them does actually pull out on you when there's about 6 cars all flashing away.
