Very true Linda, I do agree that there are many bad drivers out there too. My husband rides a motorbike and I will say it has made me far more aware of what's going on around me and checking my blind spot etc when manouvering. He was knocked off his bike last September by a mad driver on the A3 which has 3 lanes of fast traffic. He was lucky not to be majorly hurt but the worst thing was I was stuck in the traffic his accident has caused and upon reaching the scene I looked (as we ALL do) and saw my husband's bike a crumpled mess on the side of the road, police and ambulance. Was the worst feeling I have ever had. The nutty driver is being prosecuted and is in court at the end of May so fingers crossed he will be found guilty. Naomi

1 Dog poo where my kids are walking/playing makes smoke come out of my ears - if I caught the dog owners I would put their faces in it ... 2 People who do not strap children in when driving - what planet are they on ... 3 Bad or no manners - please/thanks don't cost anything and will get you what you want much more quickly ... and STOP PUSHING!!!! 4 Drivers who think I have a crystal ball in my car and know when they are going to pull out/change lanes/turn even though they seem to have lost their indicator ... Well, now you all think I'm Mrs Angry but I feel a lot better for getting that off my chest!! Maz. XX

Hi Naomi. my pet hate is grown men (not players) wearing football shirts! I can understand them wearing them to go to a match to support their teams, but for casual wear Nooooo! My point is, that football shirts are the work clothes of football players. I could never imagine football players wanting to wear my husband's work overalls as their casual clothes I'm sure the guys will disagree with me on this one! bye Christine

I wonder what things annoy us. My major one is cyclists. On my route to work they've put a cycle lane in the road so made it narrower, never seen one cyclist in the bloody thing anyway. They don't stop at traffic lights even though many councils have put little cycle bits at the front. They slow down traffic when you're stuck behind one and traffic is building up behind you and they complain when you're too close to the curb and they can't get past. I'd rather be closer to the curb to let a motorbike go past me as at least the motorbike can zoom off and be out of the way. I wouldn't mind them being on the road and having special cycle lanes so much if they actually paid anything towards them. Naomi
