Amen brother. Specially on the phone when they aren't even there when you pick up the phone, like.

Those stupid "Go Compare" and "Compare the Meerkats" adverts.

They annoy me so much that I refuse point blank to visit the sites :!:

SAW THIS AT B&Q yesterday.

If you are disabled i feel for you , big time , If you are just fat and lazy then park your car a lttle further away from the disabled spot right by the from doors of the shop. This extra exercise may help you shift a bit of that weight , the thing the doctor tells you about every time you go and get more tablets .PLUS it may well free up that parking space for somone who really needs it (Now the few disabled spaces have been taken by more able bodied people )I see this elderly couple who now have to park further away and struggle to get out of thier car as the spaces are tighter , now clamber round the car to get her trolly trike out the boot , struggle across the carpark and go about their shopping .
On my way out i see mr and mrs fat ( in mid 30's ) drop a packet of crisps on the floor and hear them moaning about child benifit ,

Now i may have got it wrong , but where i was watching from it looked wrong...

:agree:
Also people who park in the "pick up" spot in front of the supermarket door, people who park in the "air & water" spot at a filling station just to go in and buy cancer sticks and people who think that having your hazard lights on gives you permission to park on a double yellow line.

When I was a kid one of the advantages of living in Belfast was that cheeky parking behaviour was very rare... any vehicle parked where it shouldn't be was at significant risk of being considered a suspicious object and blown up by the army.

Annoying...no. Disgusting...well, yeah but there's not much you can do about it.

Roz (who is disabled) makes no bones about it and says to them: "Stupidity is not a disability."
Half the time you have to watch the cogs turn before they get it.

My pet hate is people with large vehicles who think that because they haven't a clue where their nearside is think it entitles them to part of my lane.

or drivers that can't drive and talk at the same time without looking at their passenger. causing them to drive at erratic speeds and as mentioned above swerve all over the place.
