Why can't the English figure out that queuing at an ATM on the street works better if you DON'T do it across the footpath??? Queue along the walls you muppets!

I have another one - you drive on the left hand side of the road, why don't you try walking on the left hand side of the footpath??? Walking down Oxford street is a nightmare because everyone walks anywhere!

And another - umbrellas - they make you wider and some smart cookie put pointy things on the outside of them - why can't pedestrians keep it in mind when walking down the road - the number of times I have almost lost an eye...

Cyclists - riding on the footpath is illegal*! Oh and running a red light is too - red is not that ambiguous a colour. *prohibited by Section 72 of the Highway Act 1835

Amber lights at traffic lights - Why is it that drivers think that it's their god given right to go at the mearest hint of an amber light - the road rules state that if there is no-one crossing you can go - it doesn't mean stamp on the gas as hard as possible regardless of who happens to be crossing.

OK I'm done for now :D
 
Things that get on my wick:

Threads about things that get on other people's wicks.

Will think of more later.
 
People waiting until I'm about 10 metres away before turning their full beam off and then turning it back on before I have fully passed them, what's the point in even turning it off? Also do you think it doesn't dazzle me from 15 metres away? Ugh.
 
ah but you didnt state that you just said cyclist riding on paths is illegal.

i do ride through reds though but only if i'm following the curb turning left
 
Yeah that's a definite agree ^^^ Meaning the high beam stuff.

Running a red on a bike can still get you a ticket regardless of the direction of the corner.

We drive on the left but you're taught to walk along the road facing oncoming traffic. Therefore, people should keep right when walking ;)
