Shandon Par Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I've twice nearly run over mature ladies recently. Both times they were sensibly waiting at the side of the road (sounds like a kerb crawling story so far) waiting for me to pass. Then, just as I was approaching they shuffled right out in front of me, causing me to slam on the brakes and swerve around them onto the other side of the road. The one yesterday was in the middle of nowhere (looked like she was photographing sheep) and I was in my wife's car which has an eye-burning amount of illumination on the front. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerberus Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I forget how horrible driving in the UK was. I once saw a driver completely lose his shit at someone for taking 2 tries to reverse park into a small space. He was held up for maybe 20 seconds at most. When you pass your test in the UK you should be given a prescription of Valium. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fae_the_'briggs Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 In films, etc, when someone is being chased and they hide round a corner as the person chasing them runs past. Usually they are not hidden at all and the person chasing them always looks round about in every direction except in the direction where the person is hiding. Petty but annoying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The road was 3 lane at this point so two lanes for traffic coming from my right. So I pulled out, there was a car coming from my right but it was miles away, then another car appears from its outside, absolutely flying well over the speed limit but still I had loads of time to pull out. He didnt even have to slow down yet flew past me with his middle finger outstretched and actually shaking. What a seething mess he was. What is it about driving that turns ordinary people into raging lunatics? It would've been Gunther. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blootoon87 Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 People who drink bottles of beer in pubs on nights out. Just buy pints instead, you get much more units/pound. Bottles only last about five minutes as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insane, it can be double the price for the same pish, unless you're in a shithole that doesn't clean the pipes. Strangely bottles and cans are usually cheaper than draught abroad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drinking Budweiser as if they are some kind of connoisseur. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberus Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 I drink bottles but it's more to do with taste. I'd get a hoppy pint of PA ahead of any bottle but I'd choose a bottle of Corona over a pint of Tennants or Fosters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There seems to be a growing number of drivers on the road who are simply unaware of how shit their driving is. One example being the ones that sit in the outside lane of a dual carriageway because they're turning right at a roundabout three miles up the road. Just ban anyone in their 60's or 70's from driving.* Problem solved. also women in SUV's.

If you think that bad drivers are exclusively in the 60+ age group then I can only assume you are never out of your house. Sadly the sexism doesn't surprise me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a while ago but the draught lager in Canada was revolting, it was supposedly made in a day by mixing flavoured water with pure alcohol. You'd get a hangover without getting drunk. The bottled stuff was drinkable. Think I drank Pabst in America which is your version of Tennants I believe, preferred it to the more expensive stuff. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz FFC Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Was on the lovely 40MPH road that passes the Kelpies in Falkirk today and the car 2 infront of me was doing 30 on the nose. I made a bet with myself it's either an auld dick or a woman. Auld dick it was. All those years of driving experience and doesn't know what the many 40 signs mean. I was livid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bottles only last about five minutes as well. Depends what it is. If you're in a pub drinking a bottle of Budweiser then aye, you're a cock. I've had more than enough dodgy pints to favour a bottle of decent beer over a russian-roulette style pint. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
