    Asian drivers.

    Asian pedestrians who have no spacial awareness

    Anyone who says they’re an amazing driver. None of them are.

    @nostrildamus usually tailgating you the whole time they are behind too..

    worst is the fluffybunny that does that, then turns off 10 sec after he gets past you.

    NZ drivers are largely aggressive, impatient and drive too fast, and pretty much shit too

    That's some quality racial stereotyping there

    I was told by an aviation med that lack of peripheral vision made it harder to get a decent landing for some ethnic groups. Which may, or may not, be relevant. You decide.

    None of the above, none of it !!!!!! , annoys me more that bad boring bland anonymous rugby jerseys.

    Can you name a team created post 1990 which still has the same kit they started with?

    (I was actually thinking this while watching Heartland Rugby and noticing that Horowhenua and Mid-Canterbury both have kits they changed in the 1990s, but both were 1980s era designs, unique(ish) and they actually stuck with them, and they look good).

    Whereas ... try to pick an Ospreys, Force, Newcastle Falcons, Exeter, Sale, Kings, Blues kit out of a criminal lineup.

    Meetings to redefine the company's purpose......

    Actually - meetings full stop.

    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....

    Just that would have done.

    Even in pubs they are annoying (as you well know).

    Walking past people queuing with chairs outside a shop for a new phone. I just want to individually kick each one.

    Edit. For being sheep. Not for being in the way.

    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.
