Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
My gripe of the day.
I have yet to win the Lottery. I think I would make a fine Lottery Winner, if they'd only me the chance to prove it.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Having to apply for a CIMA Practicing Certificate to become a self employed contractor. ICEAW members don't have to unless they are signing off accounts which is SO unfair. Mutter grumble.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Idiots who try to jump the queue by deliberately using the wrong lane at a junction who then get annoyed when your car is in their way when they try to barge in after the lights change. I was the only car in the queue when you arrived mate and there is still plenty of room behind me - you were not paying attention when the lights changed and I hardly gunned it off the line to spite you now did I? By the way, only one of the high beam lights you keep flashing at me is working...

People who drive with both mirrors turned in, especially when they have a blacked out/no rear windscreen.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Folks that drive to close behind me on motorways in poor conditions, sh1ts me up big time. Either speed up or move out of the way immediately, hate when they do that.
