No headlights on when its raining esp on motoways. My rule wipers on lights on. Hard enough to see some cara in heavy rain but at least give us a chance put ur lights on. Not DRLs but actual light front and rear. Rant Over |

"People in shops either standing side by side blocking the aisle talking shite or running the thing up your ankles."
This for me as well, families that walk 4 abreast down the aisle and men walking slowly beside their wife's with there arms crossed behind their back  |

Drivers on the motorway in dark conditions with torrential rain who refuse to slow down accordingly, then cause you to have zero vision when their passing car throws a massive spray of water on to the windscreen. Disconcerting and downright dangerous. |

In my line of work definitely hate this, spend half the time looking down on the pavement |

Groups of friends filling up the whole pavement and not looking out for oncoming pedestrians. One of them is going to get a shock, because I'm certainly not slowing down or stepping on to the road to accommodate their selfish carelessness |

People who have no patience with old folk in shops or who just barge past them. I want to go out to the car park and key your motor.
People who park 2.5cm away from the school gate rather than use the car park.

People that walk dead slow in front of you, then just suddenly stop like a Sim with a cancelled action. Makes me want to push them over.
People that can clearly see you coming when theyre waiting to pull out of a junction, but then only half pull out, decide you're too close but just stop dead in the middle of the road then stare at you like you dont know how to drive. Just keep going you daft cunt |

"People who chat on their phone with the other party on speaker when on the bus/train"
Or just walk about with it like that as if it's a walkie talkie. Does no one know how to use a phone properly anymore? I don't care about your Auntie Janice's piles, I don't need to know. |

That one has a bit of leeway, it depends on the situation. If someone has been an utter prick to my mate, I don't much care for them. |

I must admit I sometimes go along with them, they get their manager to speak to you and I then start to annoy them. |

I love calls like that, if I'm not busy I'll indulge. Couple years ago I was bimbling round The Range and got one looking to help me settle my debts (weird they knew I had debt but not how much) so when he asked if it was in excess of 15k I said it was probably about 750k by now if not more. Asked me how I got that much debt. "Fleet car finance I never paid, unpaid commercial rentals, unpaid commercial mortgages, bank loan for a yacht" then the guy got pissy "seriously man, why you waste my time?" HAHAHAHA you phoned me pillock |

Nice one they don’t like the tables getting turned on them. I’m sure they will call you back again they don’t give up. |

"The God Squad has been at my door a few times lately. I don't go round their house banging on about the Prime Directive, so get off my doorstep."
My proudest moment was when my Maw's wee dug went for a Jehova's Witness. He's the most placid, loving, patient wee dog you could ever meet. But this prick just would not take the hint when he was asked to bugger off.

I used to stick them on speaker and ask them to hold on a minute. Longest they held on was 20 mins with the hello hello are you still there.

He might have been driving an older car that don’t bring the lights on automatically. It’s those new headlights that are a pain I think they are to bright it’s dangerous. |

"When you hold a door open for someone and they don’t acknowledge you or say thank you
Oh no, if this happens, I make them acknowledge me for sure "
This reminds me of a time I was jogging along the canal and there was 3 people walking a breast of each other so one had to give way but when I passed, I heard the sarcastic 'thank you'. Why should I have to thank someone for allowing passage on a shared path while I'm puffing and panting? |

My local Lidl has them in rotation... There must be about a dozen different beggers on the rota. There used to be the one wee local guy but not seen him in months |

I generally tell them I was fatally injured on two occasions.
Usually they transfer me to a manager who quite often only twigs when I say my heart stopped beating. Another favourite is to tell them I was expecting their call. God told me they were going to call and I have a message for them. |
