People who don't say hello to every other runner they meet. 
More importantly, the cockwombling, on the take, property developer supported, wankers on our local Council planning committee, who seem not to be satisfied until they have built shitty little boxes on every single square foot of green space in the borough. Another 116 houses just granted for what is straightforward woodland, WTF happened to Green Belt protection?
Why are people so stupid that they let these utter fuckwits completely trash what 30 years ago was a nice market town. Have they learnt nothing from the abominations of Basingstoke, Slough etc? Clearly the back-handers from the developers are paying for their nice second homes well away from here. Welcome to the SouthEast district of Reading known as Brackingham.

Still, at least they've made sure to incorporate lots of cycle paths, upgrade public transport and pop some decent footpaths in whilst building the shitty shoeboxes eh, CStar?

I believe they also incorporate more than adequate parking. A garage that is too narrow to allow you to open the car door would be silly. One parking space reflects the needs of most modern families.

Fleecy/XB TBH It is now gridlock here, so no one can actually travel by car in the rush hour anyway! Anything up to 35 minutes to travel the 4 miles to my office by car - 17 mins on the bike.
When they add the next 2000 houses between here and the centre of East Brackingham (currently known as Bracknell) which are all planned for the next couple of years, it will actually grind to a complete halt and the lardies in their cars will be forced to cycle to get anywhere. At which point XB a garage that is only large enough for a bike is fine!
East Brackingham actually has a very good cycle network that is hardly used

That's true, but it doesn't join up with anywhere else...

Same thing is going to happen in the next ten years on Green Belt just over a mile from me. This will squash a small National Trust parkland and farm between our town/village and the new builds - crazy!

A driver yesterday who rushed to overtake me on my bicycle down a side street as I'm pulling in to let a car coming the other way get through. They then find themselves face-to-face with another driver and have to reverse up as me and the driver coming through make "What an arsehole" faces at each other.
I was then of course inconvenienced by the driver as he still rushed ahead of me and had to slow for other cars where I would have had space to get through. I made sure he was aware of this and that his ridiculous, rude and dangerous overtaking got him nowhere and made my journey home slower.
