Random Irritations

[Beezerk]

Lorry drivers driving on motorways. Dangerous is not the word. Just what do they think they are doing by slip steaming!!!!? One touch of the brakes from the lorry in front and there would have been a disaster.

Lorry drivers who zip down the inside lane then indicate right and force their way back into the overtaking lanes.
I do roughly 60k miles a year and I can honestly say lorry drivers are the worst drivers on the road, they think they’re driving go karts at times.

Dog walkers. Just took my dog to the park and 2 dog walkers had 10 or 12 dogs between them all off the lead.

I was stuck in slow moving traffic today and noticed a muppet, five cars ahead of me, that was crawling along with the rest of us, but he'd scooched right over towards the pavement just to prevent cyclists from going past him .................................. in the cycle lane!!

Is it because people hog the middle lane ? And lorries are not allowed in the outside lane?
Most lorry drivers are good but you do get some really poor ones.

Depression can often be worse than it first appears and can be frighteningly dangerous, please trust me on this.

Bake them a cake with a load of laxative in it!
I heard that Michael Winner used to do this.

The biggest problem with going to the doctors about that is the time it then takes to get counselling, not that I'm suggesting not going to the doctors I may add.

Actually a fair point can take some time for a referral to CBT..

The NHS have just launched IESO it's an online counselling service with direct live chat to CBT counsellors whilst it may or May not be as effective as face to face it can give a level of anonymity as you are just a name, but it is someone to talk to and can help get the next steps sorted for further help.

I'm glad Dando has been able to put it in here and people are will to offer help and advice. It a huge issue in men that is only just starting to lose it's stigma and something we should all be more open about to get help

Driving mrs mogs antique into north London today, only to find that the garage I was taking it to to get the aircon fixed has been flooded out, and is not open until Thursday. Couple that with a particularly bad traffic day, and I feel like I have pedalled it there. Back to my auto tomorrow. Yipee.

Back to hers again on Thursday though. Meh.

Most lorry drivers are good but you do get some really poor ones.

It mainly happens on the A1 where it is only two lanes.
In a perfect world you'd pull into the left hand lane if not overtaking however, one or both of these generally happen if you do.

1) The gimp behind you closes the gap you were in so you're constantly getting swallowed up by traffic, not a massive problem but then...
2) The lorries who are serial undertakers decide to tail gate you 3 inches from your bumper, often flashing their lights in an attempt to intimidate you.

It gets worse the nearer to rush hour you get, it seems people have lost all patience these days and need to get where they are going as quickly as possible, even if it means driving like a total nob wad.
