i'm now old enough to cruise in the inside lane these days and watch the outsider lsners wearing their brake pads out, breaking every so often when forced to slow down by slightly slower drivers than themselves.

Think that's post revolution Jim!

Any person who wears a vest whilst:
In the city centre, walking a pitbull or similar, drinking cheap larger.

Shiny trainers with a suit
Shoes with a track suit
Full track suit when you're not training
Those who smoke weed whilst wondering round the city centre
People who don't know what a yellow box is for

All these issues could be dealt with by sniper fire.

1. Drivers that don't indicate when they should.

2. People that park over your driveway.

3. People that park over the whole pavement forcing you to walk on the road.

4. Refuse collectors who throw your recycling box and/or wheelie bin somewhere near your house (if you're lucky), after you placing it neatly outside your property for them.

5. People (mostly women) that wear pyjamas in public places, such as supermarkets.

6. Dog walkers who don't put their dog on a lead when they see you approaching with your dog that's on a lead, saying how friendly and wonderful their dog is while it's aggressively or annoyingly circling you and your dog.

7. People that stand and chat and get in the way when shopping in supermarkets. Same applies at checkouts - till operators chatting to colleagues/customers for ages, while your food is sat on the conveyor, defrosting.

8. Constant junk phone calls regarding PPI, etc.

9. People on here that think nothing below a 20VT is good enough.

10. Companies that make all E Cig vapers stand outside with the smokers (we've given up smoking ffs).

That's my top ten, although I'm sure there's many, many more I could think of if I set my mind to it laugh

Teresa, you were doing ok up until No 10!
I am amazed at the various shapes, sizes and colours of these new stop smoking aids which are now available. My pet hate is passing one of the various stalls selling them and being asked if I smoke?

no7 should have made my list ! People chatting in the supermarket aisles or deliberating over their products is annoying, but that's what supermarket trollies are there for.."oops sorry" as you bruise them for life. laugh

Hey don't get me started on Theresa's no4 above, I'll show you some irrational hate and extraneous brackets. laugh

The reason that I put my bin out to the left with space around it is because that drive shaped thingy next to it is just that, IT'S A DRIVE which strangely (I don't think this strange but I suspect it is an alien concept to Mr Binman) enough I either have a car on or it is a space that I would like to drive a car onto. Given that it's fairly obviously a drive to put a car onto as it either has a car on it at the time or it looks like an empty space with tyre tracks (presumably belonging to.... lets think about this, a car?) so why the furious furious furious would I want my bin either slung behind the car (so I have to move it or run it over before going anywhere) or directly in the middle of the tyre tracks on the empty space (so I have to leave my car half in the middle of the road, get out, move the bin somewhere sensible [daft suggestion but how about where I left the bloody thing in the first place Mr Binman?] then get back in the car and drive onto what is blatantly a DRIVEWAY FOR A CAR)?

And breathe out and go to the happy place.

^ That's my Monday first thing in the morning.

Be woken up at 7 AM by the bin men.
Then around 9 AM move bins so I can get the car off the drive.

But surely you have to put the bin back to where it sits all week anyway? So wheres the problem,as it has to be moved anyway. No?

Just drove from meriden [ centre of England apparently] to Nuneaton. Firstly was stuck behind a learner driver doing 25mph on an open country road, but twisty, then an old biddy doing 35-40 for the rest of the way home....jesus !

I'm fine bringing it out for them, it lives behind the side gate for the rest of the week. I move it from there *around the car* to a spot where both Mr Binman can easily get at it and I can get my car out of and onto the drive. All he/she/it needs to do is put it back there instead of ..... etc (see rant above).

It doesn't seem that long ago that the bin men used to both collect the bin and then put it back afterwards. Certainly during our time at this address.

Do you still have to take your rubbish to the village tip yourself like we had to back in the 70s in the Dordogne Joe?

Hmmm

My latest addition to the list would be those who commute to work at 6:15 in the morning in agricultural vehicles, road maintenance vehicles with shovels on front or back, quarry trucks, or 40 ton articulated when on country lanes.

It is a minor aggravation, as there is no major hurry to get to work, but when there are perfectly serviceable multi-lane A roads very close by, why does a 20 minute journey have to extend to 40 minutes because 2 quarry trucks have decided to take a short cut that saves them 5 minutes. I can quite happily potter along at 40 behind them, but every turning and round about, they brake 2 miles before, and then take 2 miles to accelerate back up to 40.

They don't actually go through the village I live in, but if I lived in any of the others, I would be either raising with the local authority, or mail ordering the aforementioned rifle!!

Better music on the car radio is, of course, the answer.
