Irrational things that annoy you (and non irrational things too come to think of it)

Winter driving fun is here - people with badly adjusted headlights! This morning I had to drive with my hand on the side window blocking the blinding light in my wing mirror from the car behind, joy.

While we're talking about people dazzling you, can we make a special mention of those bikers who think it's necessary to drive everywhere with their lights on main beam, even in the middle of the day?

"It's so that you can see me!" they say. Well yes, but now I can no longer see anything in front of me, you cretin!

Or people who ponce about with their fog lights on when there's no fog.

Yes that is a little excessive - I always made sure I was on dipped beam when riding, but main beam is just not necessary.

Oh and Fog lights do irk me too - but more so the rear fog light.

Those floppy self adjusting headlights which make it look like someone's flashing you from behind (ooer)

Was worse when I had the MR2 as it was lower. I'm liking my chav tints in Cliffy.

Yeah, don't get me wrong, dipped headlights is fine and, considering the amount of muppets who drive around in their own little world, eminently sensible. I just wish they wouldn't use main beam. It doesn't make them any more visable than dip, and makes driving harder for me. Grrr...

Maybe they forget... however it doesn't stop it being irritating!

Waiting on hold on the phone then the stupid music stops just so it can tell you to carry on holding.

Between writing & posting this I got answered & sorted.

When you park miles away from all other cars, only to find a car parked up RIGHT NEXT TO YOU so that you physically cannot get into your car. The car park was roughly 25% full (about 30 cars and capacity for over 100 cars) - so there was a LOT of space free. I had to go in through the passenger door :/ It was a lovel Jag XK brand new... he must have dinged his door to get out - I have no idea how he got out of his car :/

I left a note on his door (I should have taken a picture):

"Dear Sir/Madam,

I am intruiged as to why you decided to park so close to my car, and cannot fathom how you were able to get out of your car at all.

In future, might I respectfully suggest that if there are hundreds of spare spaces, please choose one of those. At the very least give the person whose car you decided to park next to, some space to actually enter his/her vehicle.

I had to get into my car from the passenger door to save denting your lovely Jaguar as I am not a contortionist.

Kind regards,

The person that was parked here before you."
