The small things in life that annoy you

People who refuse to share any space.

I agree with you on that one.

Maybe we need another Supreme Court ruling.

Boomers. 

Massively entitled and think the world evolves around them.

Hell hath no fury like a cyclist criticised

Here’s a ‘showing my age’ one and related to the overtaking posts, except this was horses rather than cars (and it was not the horses that were the issue whatsoever).

Just slowly overtook in the car two horses out riding to go to one of the local pubs my wife likes, no issues there at all.

We are passing and one of the young female riders late teens/early 20s is vaping whilst riding the horse!

Poor horse having to breathe in candy floss flavour vape or whatever it was!

I once had a cyclist cycle into me (from behind) on the path, and then blamed me for not hearing him approach.

I needed to "sort my fucking hearing out"...whilst walking.....on the path....with a road right next to me...that had a fucking cycle lane on it.

He was one of the all the gear, no idea cyclist...so fat and grim in his lycra, I was amazed he could breath given how much of him to stuffed in his leotard.

I had a cyclist shoot in front of our bonnet at the crossroads in St Denys opposite the car dealership, when the lights had turned green our side and had long since turned red the cyclist’s side coming down the hill towards Riverside. 

She had to have blatantly shot through a red light.🚦 

As cyclists can’t have points applied as a car driver would, they should receive a higher fine to balance it if caught on camera or by traffic cops.

Just to be clear, some cyclists are fucking twats and if they have an accident probably deserve it. Their stupidity, arrogance, or tendency towards the suicidal have an adverse influence on the attitudes of drivers that impacts on sensible, safe, cyclists trying to get around safely and co-operatively amongst fast movinge blocks of steel.

Such people won’t last long.

I've seen fucking idiots walking their dogs up cycle lanes, I've seen suicidal cyclists jumping lights, and I've seen motorists nearly hitting cyclists because they can't drive properly - the world is full of fuckwits of all flavours.

Everyone needs to share space sensibly and stop thinking they personally own all of it.
