Irrational things that annoy you (and non irrational things too come to think of it) - Page 355

My favourite is when I have to yell "AH YES IM PSYCHIC! I KNEW YOU WERE TURNING!" Because they haven't frigging indicated!

My personal indicator gripe is when people are turning right at a roundabout. Fair enough, they indicate that they are turning right, but then can't be bothered to change their indication to say when they are actually leaving the roundabout.

it sounds rare, but I see it all the time. You arrive at a roundabout junction and check the oncoming traffic. Someone is coming towards you indicating right, so you naturally presume they are heading off to a junction further around, so you have to stop and give way. Then they f**k off left down the road you have just come up. Yeah, thanks for making me stop unnecessarily.

When you give them an indication of your frustration they look at you gone out. "Hey, I was indicating, what's your problem?", my problem is that you were indicating right when turning left, you utter idiot!

For some reason I find this particular scenario even more annoying than the lazy f***tards who can't even summon up the energy to flick the indicator stalk at all.

That's one of mine too. I have corrected people when I've been a passenger in their cars before - taxi drivers aren't usually too impressed by my advice

Haha! Vol that confused me then... I was like "but... they are indicating the right way"

Me too. HATE THIS.

Seems to be a lot of people round here that either indicate right on a roundabout and go straight on, or go first exit from the right lane. WTF?!

Can't argue with that. There's also a company in Kent that has multiple accounts and insists on putting "genuine" in all their listings. Not because it's a genuine Saab spark plug, but because its a genuine spark plug (are there fake ones?). Ebay don't seem to understand that this is serious keyword spamming. When I block their seller names from a search, the number of hits drops by thousands. Just a shame ebay won't let you permanently block a seller...

volospian · 30-08-2013, 10:23

lol, yeah I saw something like that the other day like "genuine rubber hose" or "genuine nut and bolt set" or something that made me think "how is there anything in that item that requires justifying with the word 'genuine'?"

Oh, and I think I've said this before, but "L@@K"... makes my blood boil!

/EDIT Haha, just got this in my email. For some reason I have a supplier as a favorite and they are now selling....

"100% BOSCH 044 FUEL PUMP"

Nah, I only need an 80% BOSCH 044 FUEL PUMP!!
