[Tonight's bad driver: I was walking home, side street through an industrial estate, dead end, used a lot for parking for the cinema. I'm about to cross a side road and hear somebody pulling out of a parking space and deliberately chirping the tyres. I deduce that somebody in a sh*t hatchback is about to speed past me and use the side road to turn without slowing down, indicating or giving way to me. I stop. He does exactly that. Wonder what he'd have done if I'd stepped out. Best case scenario, probably an emergency stop and the horn and pretending I was in the wrong.]

I know its been said a number of times but people who pick up their dogs shit in a bag then just leave it sitting at the edge of the path. I passed 2 baggies on a short section of path (one pretty close to the bin) on last nights run.

The idiots in the multi storey car park near work who rev their engines continuously. Why does it make you superior.

Really bad last night

Idiots who just walk out of shops straight into your path or who pull away on their bicycle without looking behind. In an overcrowded world, how could you not check for someone behind you? Gah!

Off-shore call centres with badly trained staff who can't help with simple queries.

Getting sweaty and short of breath while doing seemingly next to nothing in a Pilates class.

'Seemingly' is misleading when it comes to Yoga and Pilates! Especially if you're not used to it...

Quite so. But I have been doing it for nearly a year, and this was an over-60s class.

Reporters shouting questions at MPs when they go into or out of Downing St (and elsewhere). I've never seen one reply to the questions. If I was an MP, I'd probably tell the reporters to do something rude, but then again with that sort of behavior I'd probably never have been elected in the first place!
