Left turn green arrows at lights when there isn't a dedicated left turning lane and you get some twat at the front who is going straight ahead, even though there's another lane for that and his one will run out 10 m after the intersection. Mean while there's a line of traffic that now can't turn left on the green arrow!

Thieves!

Someone has taken my coffee money out of my drawer at work. It's only a few £ but that's not the point.

Thievery from workmates is the lowest I the low. Biggest crime you can commit offshore

One of the cleaners got the sack last night, so it may have been her parting gesture.

That's brilliant!! Well...not really, but for me it is. Used to get twats complaining because when it's loaded down with carpet it'll take up the space of two pumps.

"Can you move up".
"Nope".
"But I have to get to work!!"
"And you'll think I'm hauling 3000lbs of carpet at 6.00am because I'm out for a joyride??
"How much gas are you buying??"
"$100....feck off!"
"But I'm late!!"
"You're going to be more late".

If I sound like a dick, I'm not....but the excuses/complaints I'd get were laughable...I know that at that time of the day people's spirits are at a low ebb, and they're not in the best of moods, etc. But I honestly could care less, I have to get to work, and I was there first...end of.
People in their frickin' 50's and still act like a bunch of kids buying sweeties.

Welcome to L.A.!!

Better than them taking a dump in your drawer I suppose.

Fooktwards with Satnavs stuck in the middle of the windscreen. What the chuff do you think you're doing? You can't see the road ahead, can you?

Oh, and twats who are in so much of a rush they cut across you as they turn right, forcing you to slam the brakes on so the ABS kicks on, missing the twot by inches. But as you've sounded your horn he needs to stop and stare at you as you go skidding by.

That was yesterday in the car when I was picking my daughter up. There was nothing behind me and the muppet clearly saw me, but decided to chance it. Good job the ABS was there otherwise I would have ploughed into the tosser.

Don't use the horn.

Seriously....if memory serves, which it does only occasionally, the horn is one of the things they teach you NOT to use on the Advanced Motoring Course.

I'm glad I have a chauffeur. (emo)

People who don't look far enough ahead at roundabouts then emergency break at the lasting minute, then don't indicate after the roundabout

That stinks and is NOT on Perks.

Make a formal complaint. I often ring ahead when I'm arriving late and they speak to you like your an idiot saying why are you even ringing its confirmed in your name. Dammed if you do dammed if you don't.

I hope you got sorted without to much hassle buddy and tbh 830 is not even late.

Manchester airport security.

Fast track has 3 scanner in operation. Regular economy with 95% of the traffic has 1 scanner operating.

Not good planning or operation imo.
