minor things that make you fume

Y'know how cyclists regularly feature in the fume thread?

Yeah, well...pedestrians. Especially those who blithely walk across busy London roads, who then freeze like a rabbit in the headlights when you come hurtling at them and slam into them at not inconsiderable speed. I went right over the handlebars of a boris bike, which is quite a feat, believe me.

So yeah, spare me the cyclist rants.

Pedestrians who blithely walk into the road, perhaps in the twilight hours, wearing a hi-vis vest or jacket, believing it is really a suit of armour or at least a force deflector so that cars automatically swerve around them.

Pisses me off. I always shift to neutral and rev my engine so it sounds like I am accelerating at them. In DC they get the message and cross faster. Sometimes you get those asshats that stare you down and walk slower, or the idiots that are crossing slowly because they are texting.

I hate pedestrians.

Those ones who come out of nowhere and just run across a zebra crossing without prior warning, then flail their arms everywhere in rage because you didn't do an emergency stop for them.

Pedestrians who do that little jog across the empty part of the road, and then walk across the bit that you're actually driving on, causing you to slow down.

When I'm at the lights and a pedestrians walks in front of my car when the lights are turning green.

Some of the features on my car are ace, but the anti collision thing and the parking sensors go a bit mental sometimes when a pedestrian gets too close. Koff.

Nothing like a good rant to start the weekend.

Gangs of Ket Wigs doing wheelies on their mountain bikes down the middle of main roads - it's only a matter of time !

 

[silent bob]

The Hairy Bikers. Utter, utter beauts.

I think that I've got conjunctivitis for the second time since March, despite never having it in my 24 years on this planet.

Carvery telling us it was an hour and a half waiting time and then going the beefeater and getting a sh!t scran that was cold.

That covers most of it for me. I'll add the pedestrians with the audacity to throw their hand up as a gesture to thank you for stopping as they boldly enter the street, anticipating that you were letting them cross. I wasn't, you entitled douchecannon.

I love a good carvery. The Old Quay in Parkgate is something daft like £4 with all you can eat veg!
