As a referee, I once postponed a Sunday League game due to fog. The players didn't like it but with constant end-to-end hoofing and a bit of 'afters,' I wasn't prepared to take criticism for everything I would have missed.

The attitude of some car drivers who think that everybody else should get out of their way instantly.
I was running home from the gym, could see there was a car signalling to turn into the petrol station but decided (since it was a pavement, I was running in heavy snow, and he was nice and snug in his car) that he could wait a few seconds longer. Got the finger and a long horn beep.

I sympathise Carp - yesterday, crossing the road whilst walking, myself and another chap nearly got mown down by a guy driving way to fast who suddenly decided to turn into the side road - without indication, without slowing down, and massively cutting the corner so he was actually on the wrong side of the road (i.e. almost on top of us - fortunately we both reacted quickly enough to jump backwards). When I threw my hands up in the air, he stopped, glared at me, and asked what my problem was...

Car drivers who "cut the corner" at road junctions and side roads is a particular peeve of mine.

Agree about the car thing. The other day I was heading from home to work, walking up the road where I live because cars park half-on the pavement both sides; it's a dead end so not much traffic to force me to walk sideways along the pavement. Guy jumps into his car, starts the engine, then shakes his head at me for not INSTANTLY leaping into the foot of pavement so he can drive off. Don't park on the ****ing pavement then. Simple.

Ingredients from a "free from" mayonnaise -> Sunflower Seed Oil, Water, Wine Vinegar, Glucose Syrup, Maize Starch, Salt, Sugar, Modified Maize Starch, Natural Flavourings, Potato Protein, Concentrate (Carrot, Apple), Lemon Juice Concentrate, Antioxidants: Asorbic Acid, Rosemary Extract; Thickener: Xanthan Gum
What the heck is all that shit? Who puts sugar in mayonnaise? Why do you need sugar and glucose syrup? Where do you get potato protein? Is it with the modified maize starch?
Delia's recipe is a lot simpler.

[perhaps "free from" indicates free from anything that resembles actual food?]
