oooh - i just remembered another one. Getting to the end of the journey and the train/bus is now largely empty but the person sat next to you just won't go and occupy and empty seat - it's just you and a stranger sat close together
On the subject of buses, the tosspot bus drivers that just pull out from bus stops at the same time that they start indicating, just as you are driving past and then give you a mouthful of abuse for not letting them out. They do not have right of way.

I thought the highway code said they do have right of way?


"Section number 198 Buses, coaches and trams. Give priority to these vehicles when you can do so safely, especially when they signal to pull away from stops. Look out for people getting off a bus or tram and crossing the road."

I don't see what is wrong with this one and if it bothers you so much then you should go and occupy the empty seat.


What annoys me is when you are on a busy one way road sitting waiting patiently at the traffic lights to head straight on and multiple drivers try to jump the queue of traffic by driving up the lane which is meant for drivers turning right and then indicating for you to let them in! I have sat here for several minutes why should you be able to just cut in!!! Unless you know the rd you probably won't get this but it happens everytime and makes me feel a bit better to rant about it on here. Last time I confroted another driver about this after cutting ahead of me through the lights he wound down the window swearing at me and threatened to shoot me!

Marie - this IS the irrational rage thread


I don't mind sitting next to people generally but when it's just the 2 of us on the upper deck of a bus and it's a stranger, it's just a bit creepy. Even if it is the-e-dealer


I'm sat by the window - if I ask the person to move just so I can sit somewhere else that seems rude. Whereas if they just voluntarily sit somewhere eelse that seems normal

Ooh just thought of another one, people who insist on letting their dogs charge over off lead to me and mine (who is being trained and on a short lead) and the owners are nowhere to be seen or busy chatting on their mobile. Then when you ask them to call their dog back they just look at you as if you're crazy. Oh and the man today in the park who was walking his dog whilst in season!
StraferJack: I didn't read the thread title properly sorry, deleriously tired just read the rage bit!! I once knew of someone who got a shoulder massage off a complete stranger sitting behind her on the nightbus once, when I asked her why she didn't ask him to stop she said she was quite enjoying it...nutcase!

I was waiting for that one! I was going to say it in my last post but thought I'd let someone else get in there instead, I find your posts quite predictable. Don't mean to cause offense by saying that.

Funnily enought I have sealed envelope here hang on Im opening it... I predict that Marie81 will type

Really? VHS could fill its own thread. Remember 'tracking'?

    • This week's edition of The Briefing Room I found really useful and impressively informative on the training aspect.  David Aaronovitch has come a long way since his University Challenge day. 😉  It's available to hear online or download as mp3. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002n7wv In a few days time resident doctors -who used to be known as junior doctors - were meant to be going on strike. This would be the 14th strike by the doctors’ union since March 2023. The ostensible reason was pay but now the dispute may be over without more increases to salary levels. The Government has instead made an offer to do something about the other big issue for early career doctors - working conditions and specialist training places. David Aaronovitch and guests discuss what's going on and ask what the problem is with the way we in Britain train our doctors? Guests: Hugh Pym, BBC Health Editor Sir Andrew Goddard, Consultant Gastroenterologist Professor Martin McKee, Professor of European Public Health, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Mark Dayan, Policy Analyst, Nuffield Trust. Presenter: David Aaronovitch Producers: Caroline Bayley, Kirsteen Knight, Cordelia Hemming Production Co-ordinator: Maria Ogundele Sound Engineers: Michael Regaard, Gareth Jones Editor: Richard Vadon
