A few things annoy me, being on the train when there are track works and it slows the train down and you get to your destination late.

People on the platform that bitch about the trains.

Idiot car drivers.

Bus drivers that don't know where they are going. Especially on rail replacements.

And people who cannot pronounce the names of the stations right.

Cars overtaking me at twice the speed I'm going at even when I'm going at the road limit.

Cars that think they can move off at roundabouts without looking out for people on bikes/peds

Why only my right hand gets cold when riding :|

They can do it as you're on a Ped and they are rancid, Save up for a proper bike, I recommend Gixxer K8 Thou.

Get better gloves...;)

In Short, Peds are rancid... Don't use them:lol:

I'm doing the legal road limit with cars overtaking just cos I'm on a ped. They are hardly slow either...

Next I will get a RS125 or a TZR

My gloves are fine just my right hand gets cold.

Too true, I'm fed up of slowing down at roundabouts thinking they will carry on round, but they turn off :|

Tailgaters on the road

I hate it when you're sitting on a hill, at traffic lights or something and someone comes and sits right on your bumper.
A couple of months bac some tw*t in a porsche came and sat a few inches from my bumper, even though the L plates were on the car (taking my test next month :D). I was so tempted to let the car roll back onto his front bumper for doing that.

on my way back to the station on the way home from work, I have to cross a busy road at a junction. The tailgaters there really annoy. Coming from the right, before the foot/bike crossing there are filters to the right and left. If all drivers were observing the 2 second rule, then someone indicating in either direction would be a good cue to cross to the island. Sadly, the tailgaters make this a dangerous assumption. And when there isn';t anyone turning off, well, all I can say is that if ever there was a speed camera that SHOUDLN'T be bagged up (as it has been for well over a year), it's the one on the hill down to this junction. Bloody nightmare.

That's before I get on to the "fellow" cyclists around Cambridge that seem to not understand:
A: Not to cycle on pavements
B: No Entry signs
C: The need for decent lights
D: Red lights at junctions
E: How to signal at junctions

Also:
Drivers that don't understand:
A: "No Motor Vehicle" signs
B: Double Yellow lines
C: that cyclists should be left more room when you overtake
D: where to stop when there's an advanced stop-line for bikes.


The (county, mainly*) councillors whose indiferrence to cyclists helps keep a city with an extremetly high cycling population very dangerous to cyle around.

Idiots 1 & 2 at work. Though #2 is on holiday for a month, which helps.

*especially the country village Tory councillors who have control, and can thus prioritise the wishes of their 4x4 driving voters when it comes to city traffic measures over the desires of the Liberal, Green and Labour-voting city voters as they know that we won't vote for their fellow candidates anyway.

The boy racer who thought it was a good idea to sit a couple of inches from my back wheel, then overtake on a corner where the road is narrower.
Then he almost took out my friend by forcing him over so he almost went into some parked cars.
People who insist on overtaking cyclists then cuttting them up by turning right across in front. This has happened to me a number of times recently.

Oh and people who hang out of train windows, usually after too many pints of ale, waving their arms

Cold Weather like this
Expensive chippies (**** you Downham Chippy, not paying £1.40 for a small portion :roll:)
Patronizing teachers
Engineering works all over London making it impossible just to get anywhere!
Not getting any EMA so far because the agency involved lost the application form :roll:
Being Ill
People who just start arguing for the hell of it!
iBus (I bet it was created by someone who never travels by bus, always the case!)
The DfT
The Ghost Bus service!
Liars
Attention Seekers
People on MSN who log on, then go to the trouble of talking to you, only to intentionally leave 2 minutes later.
People who are downright rude
Annoying photters who think it's alright to shout and swear at everyone and everything in the way, when a simple "Would you please stand to one side for a moment?" would suffice.
People who THINK they know everything about trains, but really DON'T know ANYTHING about them.
People who blame every rail or station closure regardless of the date on Beeching "So? Even if it was closed in the 1970s, he still influenced it, so it was his fault!" :roll:
People who sponge off other people's efforts :x
Being surrounded by tourists who think they own the place!
When I'm trying to catch a train, but can't because i'm stuck behind those f**king tourists who are in the way, and cannot understand "GET OUT THE WAY PLEASE" or "Stand to the right please!" or simply "**** off!"
Staff who try to make up their own rules on the spot.

etc
