The City is full of people like that and those who cut across the front of you without looking.
More often than not I’ll walk into them. At 6ft 1 and 17 stone it’ll hurt them more than it does me

It is the ones that walk and then stop dead still in front of you for no reason and without warning that annoy me (usually to look at their phone). I tend to ensure I make contact and give their achilles a good whack for good measure

I'm not a small bloke, or shy; I am going to start holding my line a bit more and see what happens.
Watch this space.
Actually it's my space - don't invade it 😈
sounds like a perfect description of French and Spanish Tourists visiting Inversneck

I had some a-hole coming towards me on the underground once pushing people out of the way in one of the tunnels leading to a platform. So I just left my Samsonite a little further away from my body on the outside and heard a lovely crack as his knee ran into it. He went down like a Spanish defender and last I saw was him on the floor and two of the people he'd pushed out of the way laughing at him. Karma eh?

White van man this morning stopping on an s-bend making me slam my brakes on. What did he stop for? There was nothing there? As he set off again, after about a minute, there it was by the kerb.....a mouse. My nose on the windscreen, for a mouse. White van man with a heart...who knew?

Shops that put expensive jumpers on coat hangers. Take the hanger out, put the jumper on, and it still looks like it has a coat hanger in it. Will it wear back to shape? No idea, as I will not be buying it.
Jumpers need to be folded.

Feller in front of me on the golf course on Monday, who asked me what my handicap was before waving me through. Why ask that?? All that matters is that I've caught them up surely? And having asked, I'm surprised that my answer of "21" met with his satisfaction. 
maybe after seeing some of your game he might be safer behind you rather than in frontFeller in front of me on the golf course on Monday, who asked me what my handicap was before waving me through.

The idiot who ran our society event today who had 15 players to organise and decided to put three fourballs out (with all the high handicaps included) and leave a threeball at the end including myself and another guy who are single figures. 4 hours and 50 minutes later ….. We both got the third guy to take our cards in and left before dinner or we could have both ended up doing time. Is 5 x 3 = 15 that difficult?
How many tee slots did he book? Maybe he expected 16 and had only booked 4 slots?
Society golf is meant to be social. Not just put the best players out first all the time so they can rush round and retell everyone else of a lower standard how wonderful their 3 hour round was......

Nope there were loads of spare spots. And as for the poor buggers behind us in 2 and 3-balls, they were walking off all over the place. It was absolutely embarrassing.
Tbf, the society I’m in. 4 hours is a good round. Poor golfers, as well as quite a few of the older gents with various ailments all adds up. I’ve always thought clubs should leave a few tee times spare after society’s as generally they’re a little slower as well as paying a premium so shouldn’t be made to rush.
Re your op, if there was space then it does seem that he made a balls up in organising it. Could someone not have pointed out the simple mathematics prior to teeing off?

From what I've just heard, it's all kicked off over dinner. Glad I didn't stay and went for fish and chips on the way home. There were actually four other 3-ball groups ahead of this bunch of 4-balls and they all finished hours ahead and couldn't see what the problem was. To be continued tomorrow morning when the organiser, his mates and the guy in our group who stayed for dinner have been bailed.
idiotic why not put the 3 first? Thats what we do 4 balls always last
Kicked off how. Were there tables turned over, food thrown. Sounds like a fun society to play in. Gloriously organised. Why don't you step up to the plate for the next one

On the odd occasion we have put a 3 ball out last, because someone let us know he was running a bit late ,but still hoped to make it in time for the last tee time time.
Normally 2 balls and 3 balls should always go out in front of 4 balls.

Heh heh heh - just a bit of poetic licence. Someone didn't get a second serving of pudding in return for organising the groups that way. It was just stupid not to have 5 x 3 balls instead of what he did. I had no problem with being in the last group as I knew I was coming straight from work. I just didn't expect to be falling asleep in the middle of each fairway waiting for the group in front to think about finishing.

Why doesn't the same rules of faster groups playing through apply to societies?
Always amazes me that society groups insist on playing the course the way they started out.
