Really minor annoyances

I was thinking the same this morning.

Near me there is an awkward corner that you can not see round until you are right on top of it. The road narrows because of an old building sticking into the road, it drops to one lane with the oncoming traffic having priority.

This morning there was a queue of 4 cars in front and I saw them stopped and all starting to edge themselves right into the kerb to give space to something coming around the corner. I did the same, expecting a big builders lorry from the Jewson's down the road.

After waiting wondering what was struggling with the junction, a Micra eventually came around, partly on the wrong side of the road.

People who press the button to use the crossing, but walk across anyway when there is an opening before the green man has even come on.

I do this all the time....which leads me to a minor annoyance. Press the button to cross the road and you are still, there for what feels like 5 minutes.

Sorry, I run across when there's a gap if it's taking too long to change.

Makes up for the amount of times I wait for some clueless driver to let me cross the road. See a light controlled crossing, press the button, walk on!!! Have it, you selfish bar stewards...
 
People that announce they're about to do something then waste another 10 / 20 / 30m mins faffing about NOT doing what they said they were about to do.

Used to work with a guy at United Airlines as part of a two man team. Come midday he'd say "right I'm off for lunch" so I'd carry on working on me tod, but give it 10 mins or so he'd wander back in saying "right, quick fag before lunch" and he'd sod off out the front for at least one cigarette and a chat with anyone he knew. Then he'd come back in, say "right, lunch..." and wander off, get his sarnie out the fridge, stop for a chat with Caroline the fit fine breasted Irish girl on the adjoining team and only THEN would he sod off for lunch, sometimes a good 20 mins after he'd said so.

The missus is the same. "I'm so tired, off to bed now..." she'll say. 45 mins later still slumped on the sofa staring at f***ing TikTok.
 
Dimwits who have to roll half a car length over the line at traffic lights.
And then keep rolling forward an infitesimal amount until they go green.

It's not Le Mans you fuckwit

the a1231 roundabout going south onto the a19 is terrible for it. if i can keep 60 foot of artic between the lines surely cars can do the same. it's always quite amusing breezing past the bellends who get stuck because they're scared of using the middle lane on the roundabout to go south as well. it's painted on the road in git big letters and numbers what lane you can be in.

I sprained my ankle a few weeks ago

Driving was agony so I mainly hobbled (in pain) for a bit

Basically inviting people to mow me down

And it nearly happened more than once

I now better understand the tribulations of pedestrians. As Jesus pointed out, pain and suffering make us better people

I'll be stepping onto zebra crossings then changing my mind more often now

I bought a pack of these little tablets that you dissolve in water to make 5 litres. They’re that cheap I make double strength!
 
People who use the word 'haul' to describe a package of horrific cheap shit clothes totalling about 50 grams in weight from Shein.
