Well when I passed my driving test the first thing I wanted to learn was handbrake turns. Just like in Starsky and Hutch It was quite thrilling pulling off a perfect 180 for the first time… Quite easy too iirc…
Back on point- fuckers buying lottery tickets or lucky dips when I’m in a queue behind them. Do the maths, you’ll win feck all…
And handing over about 30 tickets to be checked, congratulations you’ve won a tenner. Then they spend 10 minutes choosing a scratchcard.
Websites which omit the most basic essential information such as where your fucking shop/venue is located. And on a similar but related note, businesses which don’t have a phone number and so they force you to interact by email, or, even worse, you need to fill in a contact form or go via a chatbot. Those are dealbreakers for me
And search engines which when asked by someone who lives in Aberdeen where they can buy a new mop bucket "near me" post results from vendors in Dover on the basis that those companies are prepared to put the thing in the post.
Chippys that charge £3.50 for a “medium” portion of chips you could sink a submarine with and u end up binning half of them.
Hot honey. Who decides that simultaneously and from this day forward all foodstuffs will be tainted with some hitherto unheard of flavour? Salted caramel was another one and over the last few years protein increasingly seems to fortify even the most unlikely fare, making it taste vaguely like cheesecake. Unless you’re a bodybuilder or you’re recovering from being on hunger strike (in which case you deserve to no longer enjoy your food), you don’t need additional protein in your diet and it’s not worth the trade off. I bet those Lizard People are meeting right now in some smoke-filled room in Davos in order to reach a consensus about what will be inflicted on us next.
Lorry drivers that insist on a 5 mile overtaking maneuver. I know your bored and thinks its a laugh but FFS. And the lorry being overtaken could knock it off a bit to allow the other one past. These drivers are supposed to be professionals
Restrict all vehicles over 7.5T to the inside lane by law. And restore the rail network and move as much freight as possible road to rail.
That's exactly where I was. The alternative is a dual carriageway A road where the drivers drive nose to tail and crash nearly every day.
Peoole saying 100% instead of "yes" or "I agree" People saying 1,000,000% to emphasise the fact that they really mean "yes" or "strongly agree" I feel that this affliction was started by football pundits...
I have to drive to Morpeth every day. I avoid the A1 Newcastle ring road like the plague. Everyone pushing and shoving and tailgating. They don't get there any quicker, they just crash more. Van drivers are the worst. I drive across country and rejoin the A1 out in the sticks where it thins out. The traffic is probably even worse further south.
People say that a lot up here in the north east. I'm unsure whether it's a Geordie thing or the aforesaid kickball affliction.
