What Grinds Your Gears?

If I list all the shit that grinds my gears... it’ll be a long read, but I agree with the idea dingwads should be monkey fisted!!!

Here’s one... queue jumpers... rude and selfish... no, you go ahead, I’ve been polite whilst standing in line for 1/2hr, you go ahead and jump straight in, I’ll only have to wait a few more minutes! Whilst you’re at it, why don’t you just fuck off and die you fucking maggot!!!

 

Im at an age when I'm permanently irritated by those around me certain things are guaranteed to set me off

NOT INDICATING ON ROUNDABOUTS - you sit there like a knob because they arent indicating then they pull off and another car comes. Since when did indicators become pretty much optional extras?

CYCLISTS IN GENERAL but in particular RIDING ON FOOTPATHS, JUMPING RED LIGHTS, RIDING IN BIG CLUMPS ON NARROW ROADS, USING PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS. I particularly detest the lycra lowlifes who ride down the road, then jump on the pavement to bypass red lights the back onto the road again, i see this a couple of times a week.

 

I just carry on day to day. Nothing fazes me. I am so laid back I sometimes fear I will fall over.

This weekend the roads were busy and the arrogant Lycra clad twats on their £2000 carbon fibre bikes were riding two abreast, chatting away without a care in the world.

 

Oi, don’t be using my name in vain!

 

Not indicating as they approach you, as mentioned really gets my goat , but those that slow down, brake, and stop, and then indicate (we all feckon know once they stop). Usually to turn into a driveway they use daily.

 

People who stop on the main road to let a vehicle out of a junction when there is a feckin mile wide gap behind me. Aaaaaaarrrrgghhhhh that feckin grinds my gears big time.
* I’m all for courtesy and sharing the road BTW*

 

Yeh Sandy, we have some 2door hatches that must have been articulated truck drivers worst thing they never look

 

The day I had 30 Harley riders in a group stop in front of me in the middle of the interstate so the dipstick in the lead could decide if they should take the left two lanes going east or the right two lanes going west. Godsake ! At least put the smartest dipstick on the lead bike. ...J.D.

 

Point well taken... but almost mowed down 60 fat people on 30 bikes on that one ! Thank god for good brakes. Geez I hate to be out on holiday weekends. ...J.D.

 

I ride all sorts of bikes besides the one with the motor. Mountain bike as well as road. I don’t tend to wear all the flashy clown suits, and I get steamed when I see other cyclists acting like a bunch of tw@ts on the road. I observe all the same traffic rules as if I were driving, and these idjits are what everyone sees. Then I have to contend with this image when I’m out on the road. I’ve been on group rides and completely blasted the whole group for being a bunch of selfish bastards.
