Random Irritations

People who still turn up to the airport security with bottles of water, thermos flasks of tea, and full sized toiletries. They get xrayed, pulled to one side, and the whole security area gets clogged so no one can get through.
 
People who don't fully listen to a request before agreeing.

We have builders ATM and with the skip so parking is almost impossible. We can just get a car on just. However the neighbour commented how their corner of drive on the shared bit is cracking can we avoid driving on it (impossible but I always try and help as their good guys)

So I knock 2 doors down , old couple lovely people and I said can I ask a really cheeky favour. She was like oooo what's that so I showed her the building work and she goes oh you would like to stick a car on our drive? No problem my husband won't mind either feel free.

They have one car which they park in their garage aswell.

So anyways I saw him today and I was like oh thank you guys again really appreciate it

He goes my wife thought u meant when the builders aren't there, not at weekends. So I apologized and moved it

Now it's just awkward , when can I park there? 9-5 Monday to Fridays? No overnight? Who noes

Very grateful ofc of the offer and stuff but now I'm back to square one and feel bit awkward asking so when can I park

People on flights who take stupidly massive cases as hand luggage, then generally it's the same people who stand up the second the wheels touch the ground blocking all the aisles.

Oh yes, the prat next to me had the regulation cabin sized wheelie case. Actually, he had two. He also had a back pack bigger than either of the others. Hand luggage? I have seen people move house with less stuff.
 
Not as bad as a fellow passenger asking you if you could move seat so he can spread himself out. Or when some guy in front without asking reclines his seat so his head is almost on your lap.
2 reasons I gave up the long haul.

This is a 2 hour flight to Vienna. Long haul is pants.
 
People moaning films are too violent or too scary

The joker movie is out and people are saying they had to leave , I'm sorry he is a murdering psychopath what did you expect?

Then in 2008 in the dark Knight heath ledger's joker murdered random people and he won an Oscar ..

It's a film ffs

Get over it
 
Just driving down M1 and M40 from Sheffield yesterday - rather irritates me when I do the 'right thing' and drop to inside lane then catch up with one or more cars sitting in middle lane and going slower then me when I'm doing 70 or less - as they are sitting one-after-the-other in that lane with inside line empty As a rule I just don't 'under-take' - and so even although the inside lane ahead of me might me completely clear I have to hang back and change lane to second - to the pass. And then I come back in again...
 
Come to think of it, I'd rather be on a plane than stuck behind a long line of those things on the M5.
All going south to trash the once beautiful West Country.

Really good driving practice in New Zealand - especially for motorhomes and caravans - but for all drivers - if there are vehicles behind you and they could go faster but for you - then pull in to the side as soon as possible to let them pass. And they do.
