Also the one that REALLY p*sses me off is drivers that don't say thanks or even acknowledge when you have gone out of your way to let them in/out. This happens every day on the motorway and one day i counted how many people actually said thanks on a journey to my mums and i got 1 out of 13.
it happened today. i was 'kin fumin'.
there i was, driving along at a lovely pace through one of our idylic devon, scenic, country back roads.
i approached a narrow section and was half way along and paused as a car came hurtling towards me from the opposite direction.
i decided i would do the decent thing so i reversed, pulled in and waited. the approaching MERCEDES carrying some posh tart and her 2 dear little offspring shot past and madam driving decides i am beneath giving any acknowledgement to.
no, not a thumb, finger, hand or eyebrow was raised. i know there is no law you have to say thanks, but it is like an unwritten motorists code to just give a little wave to someone who has let you in/out or through.
obviously madam driving her mercedes had more important things on her mind like going for a manicure or planning a dinner party for lord and lady poncenby smythe. maybe she was having a delightful conversation with little tarquin and camilla about ponies or organic yoghurt.
either way, mercedes, money, rich, posh, organic food only, stuck up, well to do, better than me - rudeness is still rudeness and not saying thankyou is f***in ignorance . you say thank you, no matter what.
i was sooooooo p!ssed off, mrs mercedes was lucky i was late for a job or i might have given chase and turned the little episode into a scene from steven spielbergs film duel.
:na:
Hero!
