When you're in the passenger seat and the driver's parking, you take your seat belt off and they feel the need to say 'just hang on a minute', oh ok I was going to get out whilst the car is moving like I always do, but on this occasion I'll wait.

Maybe they just know that they're so shit at parking that there's still a good chance of a crash.

Ha ha, its mainly Mrs kurtz or little kids but they are still annoying. 

Does change things a bit to be fair. I don’t think I’d be that annoyed at my wife or my lad knocking to get in. Still fuming at those non-existent, selfish cunts that you house share with though if I’m honest. Can’t let it go.

To caveat that, my wife does this, and I’m not telling her to wait as she’s about to leap out, it’s more that she decides that this is the perfect time to get her shit together and manoeuvre herself in front of every mirror I am using to park, creating blind spots and even throwing in obstacles as she leans over, across and behind me to get to something

Ha-ha, well, I can't say much about that.

To be fair my wife picked a few of us up after a boozy leaving do and for no apparent reason one of my workmates decided to open the back passenger door and try to get out as she was going around the roundabout at Broadway. I was in the passenger seat and ended up grabbing him by the back of his collar to stop him skidding up Scarisbrick Road at speed. She ripped him to fucking pieces with a rant for the ages.

Got a £30 fine through the post for allegedly entering a bus lane in Cambridge a week or two ago. They’ve changed the road layout for dropping off/picking up at the train station. I missed the turn and did a u-turn about 3 seconds later but they’re sneakily claiming I was in a bus lane. 
 

Knobheads have even mocked up pictures of me driving my car on a road that has ‘BUS LANE’ painted on it in bright yellow. It’s fucking outrageous.

Old fella in Norris Green use to regularly turn his Reliant Rover upside down turning from Broadway/Broad Lane by St Christopher’s Church onto the roundabout.

People who park their car half on the kerb then leave their bin out beside it leaving no room to use the foot path at all.  Never used to mind it until o was pushing a pram about, now…well good luck picking up your bin.

Not naming any names but there’s people in this thread that are blinded by envy because I drive a Peugeot and they don’t. 
 

It’s just sad.

2011. Bluetooth stereo. Panoramic sunroof. Alloy wheels. Leather interior. 
 

 

 

Bought it two and a half years ago and it’s now worth a quarter of what I paid for it.

Seeing all the pictures of medal winners at the Olympics (or elsewhere, at whatever competition) biting their medals. FUCK OFF! This is more a sports photographers' request, for the 'money shot' pic. However, as a former pro photographer, myself, (general, not sports) I used to abhor such cliches. The athletes themselves, usually don't have a clue what it's all about, except for the fact that it's seemingly just what you do when you win a medal.

 

This is as much about annoying, tiresome stereotypes of poses for photos as it is the biting of medals which is just one example. Another is, when taking a photograph of a boxer, in any context or situation, it is seemingly obligatory for them to have their hands raised in front of them, in a defensive position.

This annoyed me.

 

An odd story broke yesterday morning about Google co-founder Larry Page having been in New Zealand so his son could have medical treatment. Stuff's George Block chased down how that was possible with the closed border, and after initial official denials, it later emerged that the 6th richest person on the planet holds New Zealand permanent residency. Many other details of the story remain a mystery, including whether Page spent two weeks in MIQ. On the subject, I thought this was an interesting column from the NZ Herald's (paywalled) Chris Keall, who noted the multi-billionaire's family probably benefited from our free healthcare system. 

It does slightly stick in my craw that Page has benefited from our infrastructure at a time when his company has moved quite assertively to minimise its tax exposure in New Zealand (Page stepped down as chief executive of Google's corporate parent Alphabet in 2019, but is still a director and a major shareholder with around US$120 billion worth of stock).

I won't believe it until I see a picture of your key fob.
