Tiny Little Things That Cause You Irrational Rage

[El Pibe]

I don't mind the former, i hate it when (inevitably) people leave earlier than most and leave money 'to cover it' and chuck something entirely innappropriately small in a pot whilst attention is not on them.

In fact I ended up spending ?200+ for lunch on my own stag do to cover people like that!! grrrrrr

[Help-Ma-Boab]

Hand dryer hoggers. The ones that stand there until hands completelty 100% dry and then some. Surely the last drops can absorbed on the trouser.

I was still passed out in bed during that lunch, so not guilty.

I think if I went along knowing I was chipping in, I'd be cool. If I went along and it was then announced, I'd be a bit miffed, because I wouldn't feel that I could say no, but I am on a tight budget. In days gone by when my money was all my own, I probably wouln't have cared.

People that lean against the door on the tube.

Surely we've all felt the train grind to a halt, and heard *that* announcement enough times, to know that you shouldn't do it!

And then not moving after the announcement because they're listening to sodding ibiza "headkandi" shite at full volume and are oblivious to other people.

[Otta]

On a similar not, people that stand by the door and refuse to step off the train at a startion where the vast majority of passengers want to get off. Just step off, wait, then step back on you moron!

[Jah Lush]

On a similar note - people who just barge right past you instead saying "excuse me" so you can get out of their way. Cunts!

[Jeremy]

People who don't hold the door open, or don't say thanks when you've held it open for them. Happens all the time at work. Mainly continental European types...

No kitty? poor stag do admin, claim it back off the Best Man

[Zebedee Tring]

No, not just "Continental European types". People born and bred in the UK are just as bad, if not worse.

[El Pibe]

On a similarish note, people who don't raise the index finger in acknowledgement when I've pulled in to let them past, probably because of the colour of my plates. Grrrrr.

[the-e-dealer]

What Colour are your plates?

[El Pibe]

yellow, for about another week at any rate.

[Zebedee Tring]

Are you talking about your "plates" in the rhyming slang sense?

[El Pibe]

i am half hobbit to be fair, but no the ones a the front and back of your car.

Was referring to my personal experience (particularly in my present office), so yes. And I did say "mainly", not "just".

Well in south London plenty of drivers seem to think that when there's only enough room for one car, the best solution is to drive straight at you and honk (or open the window and shout) if you don't get the fuck out of their way. I'll take your lack of acknowledgement any day.

(btw... do you get much anti-English hassle in Ireland? Maybe speaking in a comedy Spanish accent might help?)

Whilst we're on a driving theme - people driving whilst holding a mobile phone and talking into it.

[Zebedee Tring]

People driving whilst holding a mobile phone and talking into it, coupled with a failure to signal whether they are turning left or right. It would be interesting to know how many people are convicted each year for this supposedly beefed up offence.

[Otta]

Drivers that see you're waiting for them to come to a stop before crossing at a zebra, so chose not to bother stopping at all.

[Zebedee Tring]

Especially if they're driving along East Dulwich Grove near the junction with Melbourne Grove.

That was a culture shock to me when I first came to London. Also when traffic lights change from green to amber and drivers accelerate rather than slowing down, and after they go to red the next four cars go anyway. It seemed shockingly aggressive at the time.

[the-e-dealer]

But that's illegal

[Salsaboy]

Cyclists using mobile phones at the same time as jumping red lights.
