minor things that make you fume

[Methuselah]

This old chestnut.
Driving earlier with a clear road in front of me. 200 yards further on a parked car on the other side of the road to me. Approaching the parked car a car coming the opposite way to me decides not to pass it as it would have put him on a collision course with me so waits for me to drive by. As I did he sounds his car horn and gives me the middle finger, presumably because I didn't acknowledge his gesture of not driving into me.
At this point I've got to say I honestly usually acknowledge such actions, but I was engrossed by some politician spouting cack on the radio and didn't.
So the thing is, why do drivers want praising for doing what is the correct action in the first place?

The reverse of this is the driver who forces his way through (when you have right of way) then waves a 'thank you' as though you have let him through.

Me too as my original post mentioned.
But should it be expected when we are only doing what should be done in the circumstances?

Yes

My bus pass has a scratch on the front so it won't work on the entry machine. I've applied for and am awaiting a replacement, something I explain every time I board the buses.

Drivers have been quite surly to me as if I'm somehow trying it on.

I fought in two world wars for these people. Actually I didn't.

In the manner of the Churchill bulldog, "Oh Yes!"
In keeping with the OP you've never seen so many mobility scooters ridden by morbidly obese people who don't give a flying one whether they run you over or not. A seaside destination that panders to waves of Wessies aiming for the caravan parks.

It does get extremely boring. I think someone, like 10 years ago, said he was funny. He aint.

No chance of a forum mercy ban for a few days ?

Sports commentators who apologise for any bad language their microphones might have picked up. Usually I'd rather listen to bad language from the fans than the utter garbage most commentators spout.
