Why ?

Why when I have followed someone doing that exact speed limit for miles and miles and I then overtake them do they get the ass and speed right up? What is that about? Do they feel that they should control you and as soon as they cant they get upset?
 
The comments on kids in pubs etc reminds me of a comment I saw on Twitter the other week. Someone asked for recommendations of Michelin star restaurants where she could take her young children. I can just imagine how hacked off I would be if I was paying £100 plus a head for a special meal to find I had kids brawling and chucking crayons at the table next to me.

What I have to ask is Why lorry drivers feel unable to occasionally pull over and let queues of traffic past. I drive on the A52 to work and there are very few safe overtaking spots but plenty of long parking areas where a lorry could pull in, hardly slow down and let a few cars past or a couple of roundabouts where they could do a lap and let the cars through. I am not joking when I say that I counted the queue ahead and behind me last Friday and there were 28 cars stuck doing 30 behind 2 lorries.

Random, I have often taken my child to Michelin star restaurants... she knows how to behave...

Imagine paying £100+ per head to sit next to people who dont know how to bring up there children....
 
I'd just love one of you guys to comment when i was taking my kids out for dinner!

if you want privacy, quite and a grown up atmosphere, stay at home.

I was talking about pubs, not restaurants, or even pub restaurants.......I just avoid those for obvious reasons.:lol: Seriously, if they are well behaved, don't have a problem but it's when I can't get to the bar without treading on one it becomes an issue!

Why do people do what they do , I don`t really know , here are some i hate

1. Long tail back in traffic when 2 lanes come in one and you get those that see this and race ahead then try to cut in

2. drivers that don`t signal and think you are a mind reader

3. people that drive poorly and cut you up then show you the 2 finger signs or worse and they are female

4 people on bicycles that don`t think a red traffic light don`t apply to them

5 drivers that drive fast for 200 yards after turning the corner then brake hard , they drive on the same route everyday

6 driver`s that don`t give way , they can see you are turning and traffic is building up behind you and they can`t go anywhere but still refuse to give way

7. female driver`s with big cars but have no idea how to park them

8 , people who park cars using 2 spaces , i am alright jack not interested in anyone else

9 golfers that try to cut in then hold you up with slow play

10. golfers that play a team comp , say 2 scores to count but keep a card and putt out for a 9

11 . golfers that post they played matchplay and won 4 & 3 then said they shot a gross 75 or 39 points ?????? rubbish , do they really think we believe them

12. golfers then say they hit it 300 yards with a 3 wood

13. people who plumb bob and have not a clue what they are doing , females are worse , every single one i have seen doing it when ask gives me the wrong answer

14 slow play and people who are never ready to play and only check the yardage etc when its them to play

15 . writing the score down while on the green when the group behind are waiting

16 . looking for a lost ball , its 5 mins not 5 hours

17 . group dinners and those that have the very best food and wine knowing they pay the same as you

18 . Lawyers and estate agents and how they charge for what they don`t do

19 . women and how what you promise them is expected no matter what and what they promise you is , I never said that ?

20 . The English weather , been good this year , I am sure it make us pay in the winter


Well that s it as i could go on .........

So you don't believe people when they say they win 4&3 or have a 75 or 39 points ?! That's very strange
