Random Irritations

Go to see your doctor and get some professional counselling ............................... NOW!
Depression can often be worse than it first appears and can be frighteningly dangerous, please trust me on this.

Can only reiterate this in the strongest terms. Seen it first hand with HID. Fortunately she's worked brilliantly and turned it around but it's always there lurking in the background

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.

I have to be honest the standard of driving now is really poor.
 
Regional Managers full of their own importance and expecting me to let my kids down 6hrs before we have plans together to go to a meeting instead of him as he is to important to attend!

Sorry mate not letting my kids down and I'll take the disciplinary you threatened gladly...

1 million times this....I'd love for drivers to see their actions on film to see if they know they're in the wrong. I'm beginning to think that regular driving reviews could be something for the future.....having your whole lifes driving based on half an hour you did as a (potential) 17 year old is crazy.

Simple answer would be fund traffic patrols again. Can you actually remember seeing a traffic car cruising on patrol? And if you can remeber that far back, I bet the driving around them all became so much better.

back in the day when suddenly all cars within a 100 metre radius suddenly all drove at 70mph and all drove in the left lane....... now replaced by those traffic wombles that just want to close all the lanes at the drop of a hat!
 
Well, the ungrateful berk who stands to gain 180k from my fathers passing continues to be graceless, greedy, and downright flipping annoying. Wow, a bit of money quickly shows up how lacking in character some people are. Threatening legal action because probate is not happening as fast as he would like. Phoning the solicitors, despite them telling him they can tell him nothing, and the call is chargeable. My cat is better equipped in the brain department. He just is.
