All the 'paid research opportunity' threads that keep popping up like weeds in the Lounge. They're even more annoying than the kitchen spam ones.

Why can't people be @rsed to put their thread in the right section? Drives me nuts.

[Loz]

Especially people who put stuff they want to sell in the "About the Forum" section.

Buses that pull out but don't indicate.

Buses that indicate and pull out as soon as they indicate. It's not as if they have right of way.

Surely anything of several ton has right of way ;-)

Busses in general, but I reserve a special ire for COACHES

Yes you, in your stupid blue/green shiny wheeled CLARKES jobby, driving like a cnut

Yeah, even bus driver hate you

[SPCM]

When I go to buy my train tickets, the machine is full of receipts that people haven't been bothered to pick up. This just seems to be an East Dulwich thing, I've not seen it happen anywhere else. How much effort it is to pick up your own rather than leave me to pick up 20+ or so of yours?

[StraferJack]

tickets left in machine - definitely not a Dulwich thing - I've come across it at any London station I've bought tickets from

Buses - the highway code advises you let buses out even if they don't have right of way. So why would you be a dick and not let them out?

This is the irrational things thread....we can't all be a virtuous a driver as you. ;-)

Read your highway code they do have right of way.

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.

Who, the Situationists?

[Salsaboy]

Where does it say that? Which section?

3 posts above !

Ah yes, rule 223. After having a quick chat with a traffic cop friend of mine, this is not mandatory, purely advice.

My gripe is when you are alongside the bus and they then signal and pull out at the same time causing you to take avoiding action such as pulling out into oncoming traffic or braking.

I pull over to widen the gap for the truck coming the other way

The car behind pulls around me, to try and go through "the gap"

The car stops the truck getting through and causes a jam, then other cars pile in behind the lead car

All hell breaks loose and nobody's going nowhere

People in trains who, instead of sitting next to their friends, sit opposite them and then shout to each other across the carriage.

People in trains who put their feet up on the seat opposite. How would they like it they sat down on a seat and found a great dollop of crap on it from someone else's shoe?

No problem letting them out, and I do hundreds of times a week commuting for maybe 8-10 hours; just indicate and use your mirrors if you're pulling out into moving traffic like everyone else using the road.

There's no such thing ;-)

It never fails to amaze me how little motorists cooperate with each other in the area . This results in so many mexican standoffs when

A few seconds of waiting would have ensured a good traffic flow.
