I hate inconsiderate drivers on the motorway,who roar up to a turn-off at full speed in the 3rd lane, then decide to cross over without any road sense or consideration across all the lanes to turn off at the very last moment, causing havoc by this example of crass stupidity. I am sure that this has happened to many forum members in the past, causing them to take sudden measures to avoid a crash.

I remember getting "pinned" in the fast lane on a couple of occasions, usually by queues of traffic in the middle lane. This can go on for miles, especially if there are a few lorries in the way. Leaves you with four choices, all equally bad.
  1. Try to barge your way through the traffic
  2. Slow down and drop behind, forcing loads of people to undertake
  3. Race to the front of the queue and do a desperate dive
  4. Miss the junction and have to go on for miles looking for somewhere to turn round

Now to another thing I hate, shopping! <( You can never find what you are looking for, there are thousands of people getting in the way and it takes ages. All-in-all, very stressful.
--- old post above --- --- new post below ---
People who try and condone cheating on the boyfriend/girlfriend/partner/wife/husband etc

How can anyone?

5. Indicate left and wait for someone to let you move across.

Or in other words, option 4, miss the junction and carry on for miles looking for somewhere to turn round. It's happened, sat in the fast lane for two miles with the indicator on. I've never actually tried this myself, but option 3 is terrifying from the passenger seat.

I'd forgotten how curmudgeonly and unfriendly drivers in England can be :lol:

I dont know your age so sorry if these seems strange response.

But it is truly scary how many people my age ((18-25) is the bracket i will use) seem to think it is okay and it disgraces me that it is considered okay. And i drank too much also doesnt stand up much to me either....

It is not by any means a majority but i have come across it several times this year. Especially in first year at uni when people have other halfs at other universities. They basically think well university is a new chapter i need a new girl but i wont get rid of the old one till ive had sex with new ones.

As you can tell this is something i feel very strongly about....

Just to reiterate it does not happen a lot but a lot more than i thought it did and a lot more than it should...... I dont wanna insult an entire age group here :)

Driving on the north circular in rush hour, or on event days when idiots still think the best way to get to the stadium is to drive!

Oh so hate that soooooo much, I dont know if your a football fan but Sheffield wednesday ground is a nightmare, matches been played there for like 80 years but people still drive near ground on match day and try running people over....... And park so far away it seems pointless thats what i dont get, im almost half way home on a 40 minute bus ride before they reach car... just get the bus.

In my opinion people should have the chance to experiment. In my parent's era people would get married at 18 and would have to stick with it, which (although it seems to have suited my parents - who are amazing) I can't imagine it working for me, or any of my friends.

On a more practical note, what's to say the girl isn't experimenting.

Sorry shouldnt of made it gender specific i had an example in my head who was male :/

You can experiment all you want thats not what i have a problem with, its when you do it while you have a girlfriend/boyfriend and therefore abusing a trust that that person has. If you want to experiment dont enter a serious realtionship, does that make more sense?

apologies to anyone if i seem old fanshioned its just what i believe....
