    Default Irritations - dump here thread

    * At the crowded supermarket checkout, the dumb sod who stands there dreaming til s/he hears the total, and only then goes digging in the bag to find the money.

    * At the station, the sod who feeds the week's small change into the ticket machine while the train is coming up.

    * At the ATM, the sod who goes through a string of cards before finding one with enough money for the withdrawal, AND THEN studies the receipt carefully before slowing filing it in the purse/wallet.

    * At the local cafe, the woman representing a table of six who goes to the counter to place the order while talking over everyone back to the table to clarify who wants what, and there's a queue waiting to get a quick take-away coffee.

    Your turn
    Cheers, Ern

    I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.

    people that drive 10km/h under the speed limit when you can't overtake safely then accelerate to 20km/h over for an overtaking lane then slowing down again at the end

    people that do something illegal/dangerous on the road then abuse you for giving a "what the hell are you doing?"
    It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

    There's the caravan/camper trailer effect. When I'm towing one usually at 95 kph (actual) frequently a car will overtake on the assumption that at the next hill I'll be going too slow for them to sit behind, and then they drop below that when the hill appears and I've changed gears and haven't. So I end up breathing their exhaust.
