Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...

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.

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.

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.

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.


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.

All of this, plus the absolute fucking arseholes who sit at 50mph on the single, then speed up to 75mph on the dual meaning you have to speed to overtake them to avoid sitting behind them at 50mph again on the single. I encountered a number of these spunkbuckets driving to and from Glasgow last week.

Arseholes.

Maybe because it's quite distracting posting on P&B using my tablet on my knee. On a single carriageway it's remarkably easy to swerve into the opposing lane or to hit the kerb. On dual carriageways it's ok though because the rumble strip warns me to look up so I can put the foot down.

Two different females this week have told me about Edinburgh taxi drivers stopping to roll down their window and scream at them over some minor driving thing (eg they were too hesitant turning right - really petty stuff). Both had a kid in the car too. Firstly, you really need to be calm when you're driving. Secondly, how creepy do you have to be to want to scream and swear and some girl and her kid over nothing? Banned B word behaviour.

Covered road rage before on here but I just dont get it. Of course shite drivers rile me up but to actually get to the point of shouting and bawling at folk or even further than that....

Utter fannies.

As I have explained to her many times, these days you just dont know who you might be crossing paths with so you better have a fucking good reason if you want to get into it with them.

 

Someone who drives for a living and is entrusted to get folk home safe shouldn't really be terrifying women in their cars. if either girl had a dashcam the guys could have got into trouble with employers or an angry husband who doesn't take kindly to someone scaring his missus and kid, for example.

Taxi drivers are one notch down from lorry drivers on the yewtree scale.

Last road rage screaming at me was a taxi driver, driving on King St in Aberdeen, out of town.

Inside lane is a bus lane WHEN THE TIME PLATES SHOW, and free to use at other times.

Middle of the afternoon and in inside lane passing queue in outside lane at St Machar roundabout, indicator on as I am turning left at roundabout.

Taxi swerves into lane, window down and screaming at me for using bus lane, and how I nearly put him off road and out of work for driving in wrong lane.

Taxi Drivers in Aberdeen are Bellends.

I realise you are just winding up your fellow east coaster but the stats don't back up your assertions

Yes they are. Even more so than in most other places in my experience. Bunch of moaning faced b*****ds.

 

Every time I'm in Aberdeen I'll generally come across a taxi making some ridiculous manouevre, or simply blocking someone else, as it will save them up to 30 seconds instead of turning/stopping legally. The same people that will rage and beep their horns at you if you delay them by 0.00001 of a second. 

 

I actually once had one behind me beep as he obviously felt I should have pulled out in front of someone into a main road. Fair to say he wasn't impressed when I subsequently waited for a massive gap in traffic.

I'm not sure if these people are deliberately being arseholes or that they just don't realise what they're doing is bad driving.

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.

 

Longforgan seems to be the point where these dicks get in lane for the swallow roundabout.

One of my (many) pet peeves is experienced regularly on the Dundee/Perth road usually heading towards Perth for some bizarre reason.  I will be driving at a uniform speed behind someone and getting closer, which means they are driving slower than I am, yet when I get close to them I suddenly find they are driving the same speed I am or are pulling away.

I know someone referred to this earlier but, seriously, what the fuck?  What goes through someone's head to want to drive like that?

The number of folk who don't understand that the outside lane is solely for overtaking is fucking worrying. Day dreaming lassies and old men being the worst offenders for sitting in the outside lane, oblivious to the queue of cars sitting behind them waiting for them to move the fuck out the way. Immediate ban for these cunts.

^^^this 100%  

also, those middle lane drivers who, in effect, turn a motorway into a dual carriageway.  MOVE TO THE LEFT YOU IDIOT!

Aye, I had to drive down to Dewsbury and back yesterday, even with fairly quiet motorways there were still streams of cunts sitting in the middle lane. I had heard police were going to be clamping down on this stuff but who knows if they actually are.

Not sure if it's changed now but when I done my test there was pretty much no education on motorway driving, I think that must have a lot to answer for with so many seemingly clueless b*****ds using them these days.
