Especially ones that start at 11:30 p.m. and go for 2 hours.
but those usually involve alcohol and more often run overtime...
Not in my case. Global videoconferences. Generally an excuse for people who aren't really that busy to demonstrate how vitally important they are to the success of the organisation i.e. not at all....

Looks like plenty of driving ones, those fuckers that ignore the queue of traffic and drive up the safety shoulder and merge.
Road rage is a funny beast, we all think we are amazing drivers and everyone else is shit. The drivers driving slowly are cursing the cars going fast and the cars going fast are cursing the slow drivers and both think they are driving at the appropriate speed.

Or the ones who drive up the right/left turn only lane then try to merge into the straight through lane, fluffybunnies, I never let them in.

I don’t think so. I drive over 1000km every single week and I freely admit I’m occasionally careless, rude or clumsy behind the wheel. So much of it depends on my mood at the time.
Some years back I was reversing whilst simultaneously telling my boys to shut up in the back seat. SMASH. 100% my fault and I got out and admitted it to the joker in the other car who was sweet. Exchanged details, his car was way worse off than mine and I never heard from him.
As I alluded to before it’s fluffybunnies who can’t admit that they made an error who piss me off.

People who drive slowly in the outside lane of a dual carriageway because they are turning right five miles later.

So many.
To add to the dawdlers one, something I notice so much more over here than anywhere else is the need for fluffybunnies to stop at the entrance/exit to have a chin wag, have a think about something, search in their bag. Same people that walk up to the end of a supermarket aisle with them and their trolley blocking the whole thing and look around I'm confusion wondering how they got there. Then they go outside walk a bit along the footpath and see some friends they must talk to 3-4 wide while everyone has to go into the road to get around them.
Those fluffybunnies at roundabouts stopping eh, made a million times worse when it's a roundabout with a clear view over ten seconds out of all entries.
And fuck, I mean how fucken hard is it to indicate? I never let anyone in if they're not indicating.
People who won't fucken sit down at the rugby or a concert.
fluffybunnies who forget half the stuff they were going to post cos it takes so long.

Nah, two is fine "There must never be more than two cyclists cycling next to one another. " Unless you change the road rules
-
@Machpants well more the fact they do it with no awareness of vehicles coming from both directions, and then there are the groups of half a dozen or so who ride 2 abreast in pairs...
we get big groups out where we are and alot of logging trucks and milk tankers, yet they are oblivious
I realise all arent like that, but a decent amount are

@taniwharugby Yeha I'm stringing you on, even as a cyclist move over FFS

Check this guy out! "No, standing around at the top of the escalator is fine, unless you change the law".
