View Full Version : Check you blind spot
Am I the only one who gets peeved when you walk faster than other people cos you're in a hurry for something, and people don't look over their shoulder when they decide to change their line of walking?
I wonder wether I have London rush hour hurry frustration issues, but when I'm walking at a chilled/slower pace and I decide to deviate, I try and make sure I'm not cutting someone up, especially during rush hour if I'm around a lot of people.
For all they know I could be running.

This is where being six foot two tall has it's advantages.
People may turn and start giving grief, but being tall and of a "large" build with a devil may care attitude towards dumbasses tends to have advantages!

People can't turn into Boots the Chemist without warning others and get away with it!!

With . . .
ricin, which was used to murder Bulgarian dissident Georgi Markov
I get most annoyed with those laking forward observation encouraging frontal collisions.

remind anyone of the ear mounted indicators they showed on topgear/gadget show?
but yeah it does wind me up, not as much as when there are 3 or 4 people walking side by side along the footpath when there are railings stopping you popping past, or even more annoying when its in the shopping centre and they suddenly just stop while one tries to relocate thier purse.

Happens to me all the time, more annoying because like yourself I try and be as considerate of others as I can be.
I have a solution, a toddler in a pram, if they get in the way i just run them over.
what really annoys me is those who cut accorss 35 lanes of traffic from hmv to boots without looking and causing all number of accidents along the way.
but how about those who walk into a shop and then stop suddenly in the doorway to gawk at the displays before proceeding to enter the rest of the shop and mke any selections?
people who walk out of shops and stop dead a foot out the door really annoy me.
people are so rude.

All of the above.
And people who walk in a wavy line and manage to block you when you're trying to go around them, even thought they're behind you and no matter which overtaking tactic you try!.
GAAAAAAAAAAH!

Aren't they allowed only one zig or zag - not both - else it's a drive-through ?
What about those who stand either side of a footpath ( not along it ) while prattling ? Used to be a female trait, but blokes are doing it now - so much for equality. . .
. . . and those who wait until the last item is rung through the till before looking for their purse - wonder what else takes them by surprise.
All of the above.

these ones are really bad and deserve a slap.
