where's your manners?

I remember being on a train listening to my headphones and getting some dirty looks and eventually realising that the headphone jack was only half in and was playing through both the headphones and external speakers (shitty old mp3 phone) was fairly embarrasing.
 
Holding open doors for peopl who walk straight through as if ur a frigging doorman or summat. And when u give way 2 folks when u got right of way on the road and they don't say thanks. Gets me well peeved that.

One of mine would be lazy self centred self important bastards who park in the disabled and parent child bays. The parent child one irritates me but taking a disabled space? That really fucks me off.

I've had two rows regarding this. I helped my disabled grandmother limp all the way across a car park cos all the bays were taken when this stupid bitch came skipping out the shop. I saw red & confronted her (after checking there was no badge in the car) and she muttered something about having a bad back. I saw even redder and the profanities flew. I like to think she'll think twice before doing it again but I doubt it.

The second time was in a motorway services, 4 big fat fuckers came strolling out clutching their KFCs and got in the car next to us (disabled bay again). I couldn't resist asking 'where's your disabled badge mate?' to which the driver replied 'fuck off'. Before I could stop myself I said 'oh no, I see your disability now, you're stupid fat & ugly, fair play I'll let you off'. My bro (who was driving) was muttering at me to shut the fuck up and how they probably had baseball bats, he was even less pleased when we hit slow moving traffic on the motorway and had to drive alongside them for about 2 miles =D

Shops should monitor & clamp for abuse of these spaces IMO.

But mainly when they have those shite trolly on wheels and I go out my way to hold/open the door open for them, and they think they have the right to shoot me a luck of disgust?

AAAARRGGHHH IT MAKES ME WANNA SCREAM!!

The first thing I thought of when I opened this thread. Door manners are APPALLING, I always hold doors open for people / go out my way to open doors for people if I'm closer, and I'm totally fed up with the ignorant fucks that walk past me without even looking at me. Its always the people that you would think would know better as well. The bag head lookin chavvy people always seem to thank me, the middle age Margo-alikes never do!




EDIT: Another one that is not so much manners as just safety is people who feel there is no need to indicate for pedestrians. >.<

Oh, and people who pull you up for spelling mistakes, wrongly, then bitch about how others have pulled them up for their own spelling mistakes.

That one really winds me up eh BlindMonkey?
Click to expand...

it was a grammatical mistake, not spelling. unless you mean the bastardisation that you enjoy using. dont remember bitching about you either, i think someone else said you were going over the top.. but i enjoy your obsessive rants, fascinating to see someone who's so easy to wind up. i know you hang on my every word, so heres some advice... just give it a rest, youre making yourself look a bit silly now. like i said, i enjoy seeing what youre angry about each day, but other people may not appreciate your constant verbal diarrhoea. just a suggestion tho, dont take it the wrong way mr angry!
 
Peeling shit of the road!

If just one of you gets that then it'll make my day.
 
As a cyclist, inconsiderate cyclists infuriate me. It really grinds my gears when I see a cyclist cut up a car or ride in the blind spot continuously.
However, I also have no time for inconsiderate car, and to a lesser extent, van drivers. If you are not indicating left, do not expect me not to overtake.
If you are opening your car door, PLEASE look behind you first. Too many times I have nearly cycled into car doors or had to swerve and cut up other drivers because someone has opened their door in my face. Also, please don't be mad if in a fairly slow high-street I ride in the middle of the road to avoid this. I know there is a 90% chance that if you overtake me I'll catch you up at one of the next 3 traffic lights, so chill out.

I find this really strange, how is it a cyclist's responsibility to be aware of another vehicle's blind spots and avoid them?

not indicating left ... ok ... do not expect ... mmhmm ... not to overtake ... nah you lost me!

Actually I'll try again. If you are not indicating left I might overtake you. OK, I don't recognise or see the danger in this scenario.

Ah I see! You mean overtaking on the left! That's dangerous! Don't do it!

With you on this though!
 
People who are either so far up there own arse they either "refuse" to acknowledge you, or they are just plain stupid. I work in a retail shop, so I could probably write a whole page about who and what annoys me, they assume as I work there i am automatically there personal slave and I must do what they say.

People with no manners at my till feel the full brunt, "hello", no response... alright this might take a while, do it as slowly as possible just to enrage them further. "how much is this", the price is underneath the item, "ok but how much is it", "erm why dont you look and see", "ok i dont want this, you put it back". They say it to me like im actually bothered that they are not buying an item, at the end of the day I still get paid the same amount lol

"where are the baskets", right over there about 10 meters away, a short pause........"can you bring me one", goes and collects and comes back, no thank you or anything, then they proceed to head in the direction where the baskets are based.

People who are extremely polite and understand the situation often get a little something free in there bag for when they get home, so manners do pay, if you come to my till :)
 
People not having consideration for old people

Taxi drivers who think the rules of the road don't apply to then

Mini drivers
 
  • Shop assistants slamming your change on the counter when your hand is already extended.
  • People doing their whole month's banking at the ATM when all you want is a tenner.
  • Nose whistling.
  • Morbidly obese fuckers who go on the disabled wagon's in the supermarket & bark at others to move for them.
  • People who whistle all the time.

Rudeness in people does my head in. I was in the supermarket the other day looking at the front pages of the Sunday rags when a woman appeared at my shoulder.
"Do ye mind?", she demands in a right nasty kind of way.
"Excuse me?" I enquire genuinely puzzled.
"Get out of my way", she orders.
"Who the FUCK do you think you're speaking to?" I blurt out.
She then does this really odd turn on her heel & looking over her shoulder & clears off out the shop. I'm thinking she's away to get her husband or even worse, her 2 feral 20 year old sons to set about me. Thankfully it never came to that, but it amazes me how some folk think they can talk to you like you're a piece of shit. Horrible little cunts.

On a similar vein to holding doors open is when you are in the car & you obviously have right of way, but you wait & let the oncoming car pass. Nothing, no nod, no slight wave, or even the tiniest bit of acknowledgement that you stopped to let them through. Dicks :X

It isn't but it's just courteous, and certainly in the case of large vehicles, very sensible. I often find that drivers do not know/respect my right of way, and even though it's their fault, I would come off a LOT worse in a collision.

I'm aware that was a bit confusing.

I'm a cyclist, I have to overtake on the left!

If I think you want to turn left, I won't do it, but I can't tell if you don't indicate!

I've been cycling on the road for about 30 years, in the country and in cities and on all manner of roads. I never thought about a car's blind spot and I never seemed to have a problem.

I've been driving for about 20 years, I have never felt that a cyclist was hiding in my blind spot and I don't remember running one down. I'm very aware of my surroundings in the car.

I find it strange that people can report quite different experiences on the roads when we're all on the same roads! Why is this an issue for you but it simply doesn't exist for me?

I'm a cyclist, I have to overtake on the left!
Click to expand...

No you don't! If you're going faster than the vehicle in front you can overtake on either side! But on the right is usually safer.

Or do you stick religiously to cycle lanes? They're not fit for purpose in this country and I'm sure you know that.
 
A motorway walks into a pub. He goes up to the bar and orders himself a drink. He has just sat down when in walks a strip of red tarmac. The motorway sees the tarmac, starts to panic and jumps behind the bar. "What are you afraid of?" says the barman, "You're a six lane motorway and he's just a piece of tarmac." The motorway replies, "You don't know him like I do. He's a cyclepath."

Ah the old ones are the best.
 
People throwing litter really bugs the shit out of me!

Now I dont know if this counts as manners but..People eating/drinking stuff before they have paid for it in the supermarket-bastards!

Smokers who form gangs outside shops making it impossible to enter/leave a shop without having at least one lung full of smoke.
