People who a) take the stall next to you to take a dump (when other non-adjacent stall are available) and/or b) grunt and groan loudly so you are well aware of each passing movement (and their need for an increase in fibre/fluid in their diet)

Healthy, young men walking at the same pace my grandma (with OPD) used to.

Documentaries where a television presenter is filmed sat next to someone speaking Pashto, Russian, Arabic or the Brazilian dialect of Portuguese. And the television presenter is looking at them and nodding their head and smiling, like they can understand what the subject said.
Doesnt show the interpreter in the background, doing all the translating and writing the subtitles.

Saw someone annoyed by something seemingly trivial today. Behind a man and his daughter who were riding home from the Bristol Sky ride when they made the mistake of trying to get through a narrow gap to cross a bridge when someone on foot was trying to get through the same gap to leave the bridge. Normally when I make a mistake like that I say sorry and the problem is sorted. The pedestrian in the case was having none of it. He starts making sinister threats regarding the guys young daughter.

Fair point. My bad.

Back to something closer to our hearts, and stomachs...posh crisps.
WTF? Just a rip off. When you are having a pint and want some nibbles, you ask for said comestibles.
Why are the crisps hand-cut, artisan-made and "drizzled" in flavour? What the heck is wrong with good old-fashioned Cheese 'n' Onion? And why no Mini-Cheddars, the most awesome cycling food ever.
Grrr...buggers.

Something I have noticed alot on the football is the amount of pundits who start their answer to a question with "listen"

Thierry Henry & Rio Ferdinand biggest culprits. Who the F*ck are you talking to? I would probably listen more if you had anything sensible to say.

Just wandered down to Greggs for a nutritious lunch (a sausage roll still counts as one of your 5 a day doesn't it?? ;-)) and within the space of about 200 yards saw three people wearing wellies as they headed out for a coffee/sandwich. Bear in mind, this is on Eastcheap in the City.

It's just a bit of rain FFS!

If you want to jump in muddy puddles, you must wear your boots.

I'm sorry if it's been done before... Trucks overtaking on the A1.
I wouldn't mind if it was just one or two. But when every truck is trying to get past each other, it causes the A1 to grind to a 56mph crawl.
All that disruption for what benefit? So the HGV can do an extra 2mph before he has to pull in for a compulsory rest.
Are HGVs are banned from overtaking in other countries?

No. However, they do have to pull over to the right and let traffic past in Germany.

Consider this: Ever been on a motorway in Europe where trucks are not restricted to 80kph? It's not funny being passed by an artic or a whole line of them when you are already doing 65/70mph.

ben@31

The problem is they can't pull in to maintain the flow of traffic, as it takes a few miles for one doing 60mph to overtake the other doing 59mph

In the same vein. The post match interviews "As I said." Replacing "Obviously" as the footballers favourite.

Sturridge/Bale after England - Wales.
"Thanks to God, incoherent drivel, Gaffa, incoherent drivel, as I said, incoherent drivel, the lads, incoherent drivel,as I said incoherent drivel.

Cringeworthy.

The rules for trucks in Germany are pretty similar to the UK. They cannot go in the outside lane but I have been stuck behind trucks in the centre lane if the autobahn more times than I care to remember. The good rule for Germany is no LKW (HGV) on the roads between the hours of midnight Friday into Saturday until midnight Sunday into Monday. Makes weekend travel so much easier. Although hit the routes as they are all heading back out its bedlam.

Worst things on a Friday I always hated was having an inside lane nose to tail trucks and the outside lane full of 150mph maniacs in Audi estates and you sat in the middle!
