Cyclist leaves the cycle lane, swerves out in front of my car, my passenger warns me, I brake sharply. He notices my sharp breaking and the following conversation happens. (I'm certainly not proud of my part.)

Suicidal cyclist: ya ****in idiot

Awesome car driver: You nearly hit me!

SC: it's ****in obvious I'm turning right, why else would I be slowing down?

ACD: slowing down isn't the signal that you're planning to turn right ya stupid prick.

SC: pull over and I'll smack ya head in

ACD: i then point to next turning and shout "over there"

I pull over at agreed point, he carries on cycling and shouts

"Grow up... you stupid chav"

I hate cyclists, pretentious wankers who think they rule the roads, pavements and anything else they want to.
Anyone over 16 who wants to ride a bike should be treated the same as motorcycle riders. Wear protective clothing, tax and insure their vehicle and have identification plates fitted. They can have all the cycle lanes in the world then, as long as they, and not the motorist pays!

Or you could argue there are nobs on bikes and nobs in cars and we could all do with being a little more considerate to one another. As someone who makes half my journey by car and half by bike I find that as a cyclist you feel in an incredibly defensive mindset - when car after car buzz past an inch away from your right elbow your mood is pretty grumpy especially given a bike will lose to a car in a collision. Likewise in a car there is nothing worse than self absorbed cyclists cycling in pairs or aggressive lycra louts. We should all just try and remember we are all trying to get home as quick as we can and safely.

GET YOUR ******* NME OUT OF MY FACE

and it might help if you didn't stand 2 feet from the entrance to the station right in the middle.

People who don't offer a tea or coffee to professional trade who work in their house.

Even more annoying is when they make themselves one and don't bother asking.

This really annoys me too. I considered putting a silent fiver on a job when this happened, but felt it was a bit naughty although justified imo.

Those who work in an office and at lunchtime go and get a McDonalds, BK or KFC and then bring it back to their desk to eat it.

I hate that too. Once saw a programme with Richard Hammond in and some bio scientist. RH said that he always ate his lunch at his desk. Scientist sampled said desk for bacteria. Result was that Hammond s desk was more dangerous to eat off than a toilet seat after Glastonbury. Lovely.

That's not the little bird outside Liverpool Street is it? By the Ronnies. I've had to hold myself back from snatching the NME and ripping it up into tiny pieces and ranting like a crazed loon whilst dribbling from my foaming mouth. It's been a close call.

Time for some light-hearted, passive/aggressive comments from the rest of the office?

We had a colleague who drank herbal teas and the blackcurrant one smelt like tom cat wee!

Funny thing, if you tried it yourself, it smelled OK. But across the room it smelled awful. In the end she stopped that particular variety, as we said it was embarrassing if someone came to our office for a meeting.

I was on a job in South Kensington and they did just that. I said we'll be back in an hour we're off down the caff. Two hours later the same. They finally twigged and started offering tea. :)

Just ask them if the kettle is broken. Works every time.

What do you feel about people who provide builders with their own kettle etc and say make one when you wish?

We did that when we had a long job and, to be honest, it's hard to know when to offer day after day.

We provided kettle, mugs, milk, coffee, tea, sugar and refreshed the biscuit supply. They seemed happy with this and it meant they could stop when it was convenient for them, rather than waiting for us to be free.

no one offers me a drink or biscuit at work!

can't they/you take your flask with you and stop freeloading?

How do I feel about it ? I would give you a slight discount and a lovely hug at the end of my job:)

Maybe they just don't like you:).

If you invite somebody into your house, is it not simply common courtesy to offer them a drink?

Freeloading :D

I always offer a tea or coffee if someone comes to my house that's probably going to be staying for an hour or so. Basic manners !

That's just ignorant. I even let the gas meter reader get a hand job off my missus because I was in the middle of throwing a lump up her when he rang the doorbell.
