You know what really grinds my gears?

Whilst we’re talking cunts. People who slow down to a stop on any road that’s 40+ mph to let people out, off you can fuck aswell.

Retired looking fucks driving slowly with all the time in the world and blocking your way when you’re in a rush to reach work on time :joy:

Ah, the crowded roads of the sceptered isle. How do I miss thee. Not fucking likely. Give me the wide open prairie and cruise for hours and maybe see another car once in twenty minutes, or so.

I reckon about 5m hours of the nation’s time is wasted each week because people can’t indicate when they’re turning off of a roundabout. “Great, so I’ll sit here until it’s clear that you’re turning off shall I?” Absolute sodding cunts.

Oi Keir, instead of taking money away from the disabled, why not address the cost to the economy of unnecessary tailbacks at roundabouts because some selfish cock-wombles can’t be bothered to indicate?

It’s almost like people think it’s beneath them.

I do between 25-30k miles year, mostly motorway, the amount of bloody bastards that will just switch line to cut in front of you without indicating fucks me off. It fucks me off even more when the conditions are shite, which during winter is most of the time and the said tosser, will just jump in front of you, no warning, therefore also cutting down my braking distance.

Twats.

I should point out that my nearest roundabout is one of those hellish 5 roundabouts around a roundabout things.

They’re called “Magic Roundabouts” but not because they’re great or special but because, like the kids TV programme “Magic Roundabout”, the idea came about while someone was taking acid.

Hangovers. Been feeling so rough all day, why did I do this to myself? This is why I so rarely get drunk these days.

I hope I’ve not jinxed it but the amount of times I’ve got totally legless on holiday or at music festivals and I’ve never had a hangover there.

I have had a pint of lager at home and woken-up with a banging headache. A few times.

I thought this was a very Indian problem cause our roads are so busy, people hardly ever have to drive faster than 50 kmph (yes, kmph). So even when the road is free, people tend to go slow and if you honk at them politely, they just ignore you, and if you persist with honking, they give you a dirty look as if to say “what’s your hurry, why can’t you drive like a fucking bozo like the rest of us?”

What’s more frustrating is these people occupy all lanes, driving side by side, at more or less the same speed. Sometimes you really want to ram into them :enraged_face:

So true. And it’s not just old people, it’s most people, too afraid to drive fast, too afraid to overtake. Another problem I see with most people is the inability to do a U-turn. They need 4 fucking lanes to do a U-turn.

People also can’t pick the lane they need to be in before hand. They like to drive right up to the point where they need to take an exit or turn, and then switch multiple lanes, blocking others in the process.

Then there are those fucking idiots who don’t know whether they need to take the upcoming flyover or not, and so will drive right up to it and then slow down to make a decision. And this happens every fucking day. It’s almost as if the flyover takes them by surprise each day, like “what’s the flyover doing here”. And almost everyone is using Google Maps. There is no cure for stupidity I swear. No amount of technology can help idiots.

And it’s not just motorists, it’s pedestrians as well, at least in India. People just willy-nilly cross the road anywhere they want, by just raising their arm and indicating the traffic to stop. It’s especially frustrating when there are pedestrian bridges available.

How rigorous is the learning and driving testing process in India?

Not rigorous at all. You just need to do a couple of simple tests on a track, where you drive forward in a figure of 8, and you reverse in an H. There is a computer based test to take before the actual driving test, which is also a breeze. The sheer number of applicants makes it impossible to assess each one rigorously. And this is in the big cities. In the smaller towns/villages, you might be able to get a license without even giving a test. I remember getting my first license without any tests :smiley:

You know what really grinds my gears?

My wife not giving my debit card back after going shopping with it and taking it to work her leaving me trapped at home without supplies until 7pm tonight.

I love her to bits but she has these fuckwit moments far too regularly.

She’s currently taking me through the add card to Google Wallet thing. I’ve never used it before apart from for event tickets.

I’m 52 (but as befuddled as someone twice my age) I’ve just stopped using cheques. So this is all new to me.
