    I will start this off with pet hate of mine.

    Why is it that when you get handed change they always put the notes in your hand first and then the change. The change always fall off the slippery note. It really ticks me off.

    Well if we are going onto motoring.

    What about those drivers who indicate right at a roundabout, then go straight ahead.

    What gets on my goat...

    (Big breath)
    Florecent lycra clad - tree hugging - yoga prancing - mirrored glasses - yogurt drinking - vegie chomping cyclists who ride with a pretend shield of righteous and complain when it doesn't protect them from their own stupidity.
    I am tired of waiting at the lights at the front of a queue with my tyre on the white line, then a cyclist pulls up in front of me and adjusts their back end so it is directly in line with me so I can't pull away when the light changes.
    Not so bad with the younger female models, but when its a late 50s/60s fart whose idea of being in shape is 'round'...it ain't so plesent.

    That and diesel on the road in the rain!!!

    All of the above - I mean from the start of the thread!
    I will add - people who wear hats in cars. (think about it - never going to be a good driver if it's a baseball cap or a Panama!)

    Vipers! Either smoke a fag or don't smoke.

    Let's face it you have absolutely no idea what chemicals are in the viping liquide - except of course nicotine, one of the most addictive substances known to man.

    Steve Wright on radio 2 when he states going to the gym "when you've had a hard day in the office" as if the whole world works in a foooking office!

    Do good'ers stopping the traffic with me directly behind letting traffic out in front when the foooking traffic being let out are totally oblivious!
