The replies said it is a cyclist blind spot refuge or a waiting spot to reverse direction.

All this stuff they've put in around Coventry recently is commonplace in London and actually used! I can't see it catching on here tho sadly.

White Eggs, when you boil them how the fuck can see you little bits of shell still on them ?

Yep… it wasn’t even for me my niece wanted a McFlurry and a coke .. only one other person in the queue , it’s not even like they had to cook it

Flat out refuse to buy white eggs. Completely irrational.

Not sure this is a genuine annoyance or not but here goes, having to acknowledge a driver for stopping for you when you use a zebra crossing. It is now the done thing to thank the driver for not mowing you down. On the flipside, when I'm driving and pedestrians thank me, I acknowledge them as it's polite.

There's a notorious zebra crossing in Leamington by the Adelaide Road Bridge/bowling green. I wait to cross there and the amount of drivers who don't stop is breath-taking. I always V them or put my thumb up.

Places like gallagher retail park - they don't stop! People generally think that the rules of the road do out of the window once you enter

Half the cunts round there probably have no brake pads so they can't stop.

Yes! I first noticed this practice 30 years agoish (fuck has it been that long?!) when I lived in London. I laughed with my mates at the time saying, “it’s worth acknowledging them just because people will just mow you down at zebra crossings here”.*

*some years later I did go over the bonnet of a car in Tower Hamlets over halfway across a zebra crossing.
** I gave chase to a cyclist who nearly knocked my then pregnant partner over on the same crossing.

This afternoon at the bottom of Earlsdon high street near the library , I was almost hit on the zebra crossing by a bell end speeding through in his Range Rover.

In a 20 zone too

It's become the norm for me, unfortunately. You just have to be assertive about it and walk out into the road. I've had a couple of near misses though, one of which resulted in me booting someone's car.

Range Rovers are often driven by heavy footed cunts.

‘I must exhaust all of my 450bhp 3L engine.’ Small dicks.

This sounds like a challenge. I accept.

 

[LastGarrison]

Let me know your findings.

Those bloody sticky tape closures on bread bags. Can never get the ends separated.

Make sure they are staggered when you stick them back together

 

[Nick]

The push together type freezer bags are worse. Why not just make them all zip?

 

[Nick]

The whole was / were use.

Can't face wading through 486 pages so apologies in advance for what surely must be in there somewhere - cafes and restaurants that give you butter straight out of the fridge. Cuntish drivers who don't use their indicators. Cats killing birds. Climate change being blamed for everything. Current affairs programmes that invite people on to give their views and then don't give them time to express them. Steve Jones. Cheap sellotape where you can't find the end.

Had the closest call yet yesterday when out running with a car not bothering to stop, was literally a couple of inches away from being hit.

Drivers that won't overtake bicycles when there is plenty of room to pass. Likewise cyclists that ride 2 abreast preventing cars from safely overtaking. Both behaviours result in unecessary traffic queues.

Before anyone jumps in and says “but cyclists are allowed to ride 2 abreast” it’s (at least in my view) a common courtesy thing. If there’s a car waiting behind and it’s safe for them to pass, fall back to single file and allow them to pass.

Have you been saving all those up?

 

[ovduk78]

Cyclists who wear dark clothing, I'm sure they lycra manufacturers produce plenty of brightly coloured or hi-viz clothing so they can be seen.

The butter one, yes. The rest just popped in to my head as I was furiously jabbing at the keyboard. Plenty more to come.

And they're the fuckers who tend to go the fastest! Lot of single-track roads round us and there are some cyclists who are obviously doing timed runs, clad head to toe in black lycra. Anyone else sharing the road is just a nuisance. If and when they do eventually pull in to a passing place, they don't stop but just slow down, and frantically wave you past. Sore tempting to slow right down as you're passing to force them to stop or fall off. Tiny minority of cyclists have mirrors - it should be compulsory, because they rarely look back to check the growing snake of traffic behind them. However, I do give them as much room as I can when passing, but I've seen some very hairy overtakes, often borne out of frustration.

Particularly in the winter - the Feckers are out here in the middle of nowhere no street lights

Mmm bacon, sausage egg with a side of vinegar.

I wear an orange hi vis jacket when cycling.
