What gets your knickers in a bunch?

[Chas]

In the UK we these little warning signs that people hang in their car rear windows -

So I am supposed to drive better because they have a passenger? Shouldn't they have it stuck to their front windscreen to remind them that other road users do not have to compensate for their bad driving?

Or do they do it, to remove any doubt that they can actually function and procreate.

Regards

Most things that annoy me are driving related.

I hate these with a passion:

Somehow the drivers of the vehicles displaying these think they are allowed to drive inconsiderately and, often, dangerously. To me, it simply marks them out as sub-standard drivers and I try to get past them as quickly as I am able.

Drivers who think that indicating gives them automatic right of way to barge in to my lane, often making a risky maneuver in the process. And then they actually progress to reduce speed, impeeding me further!

Slow-arsed drivers! The posted speed is 80kph. Damn well go 80kph!! If they can't or don't feel safe travelling at that speed then move over to the slow lane!

AND, those that decide that the correct place to start the school zone in an area that is 40MPH is 2 BLOCKS before said school zone so they slow down to 20MPH and hold up traffic during rush hour. Of course they make up for it by speeding up a good 5 or 6 car lengths before they are out of the school zone.

AND drivers who think that having their front foglights on 24/7 somehow makes them cool.

Vehicles with defective lights. I do wish the police would pull these people over and ticket them. How can they not realise one of their headlights is not working?

Rudeness and plain stupidity get my goat. Just last night I saw two teenage girls swimming in a heavy surf with sneaker waves. It was 10 p.m., and pitch-black. Before long, the sherrif's department and local police were using their patrol car search lights to find them. Luckily, they came out safe and sound, but where what were those two girls thinking (or not)! I hope they are charged for the time and expense of such foolishness.

I have little tolerance for those who don't say "excuse me" or sorry when they bump into another person. Sadly, these sort of people are everywhere where I live.

People wearing troosers trying to give you kilt advice.

Actually I wouldn't have thought of that word as being particularly "Southern". Maybe it is and I'm just oblivious.

I am with you J_Mimbs. Doesn't ring out as distinctly Southern...certainly not like a y'all does

Gotta agree. The term is used periodically where I work by some of our, um, clients, almost exclusively as a reference to their offspring's offspring, especially if said person is of insufficient age to have started school.
