Subject: RE: BS: The daily gripe
Driving gripes - drivers who can SEE from a good distance that the traffic is funnelling from two to one lane and who get as close as they can to the meeting of the ways before trying to force their way in. (Some idiot always lets them in - I don't 'see' them, ever).

Rubberneckers who HAVE to slow right down to see the result of a crash on the other side of the carriageway. I ended up in a half hour queue of traffic purely as a result of this on the A1. Absolutely no problem on my side of the road, apart from the ghouls who had to see what was happening in the far lane on the other side of the divide.

Shopping gripe - all of the above (I just push my way through if the chatterers don't move after being asked three times) plus the ones who wait until all their purchases have been rung up to find their purse and ferret around for cash or card. Also the ones (UK) who insist on finishing packing all their shopping before paying - I've actually snarled at one to pay up and then finish packing (she did!).
