When other drivers tailgate you, make rude gestures and flash their lights at you when you make a safe overtake staying well within the posted speed limit.
Almost as bad as drivers who close the gap that you are moving into/move right out to the white line during an overtake. Extremely dangerous.
When you ask them to pull over for a chat about why they did what they did, do they? Do they heck! I even followed a guy who blocked me from overtaking home once. His response when I asked him why he did what he did? 'You were speeding mate!'
1. I was well within the posted speed limit.
2. Even if I was speeding, who is he to police my driving by breaking the law himself? As the old saying goes, two wrongs do not make a right.
Most British drivers that i've had the 'pleasure' of sharing the road with don't have a clue. Old and oblivious, female and stubborn, male and aggressive, young and reckless - you name it, we have it! Maybe I should get another Landrover, never had many problems when driving that battered old heap!

With respect, there are a very high number of Land Rover drivers (and I'm not saying you are, I've never seen your driving) who have no idea how to drive either. They seem to think that because they have a big, heavy vehicle, that somehow they are immune from sensible, considerate driving, so they drive slowly, inconsiderately, selfishly, forcing their way through narrow country, lanes expecting people to move out of the way. The main culprites seem to be farmer's wives, but the number of irresponsibly driven Land Rovers I have seen are too many to number. BTW, both my brother and step-father are LR drivers, I know what I speak of.

My Girlfriend's brother is a complete ****block. There is a special place in Hell reserved for people like him.

People who drive 30MPH in a 55MPH zone talking on their cell phones with the emergency blinkers on! Does not help when his personal talk time is on the road but it completely backs up the highway making everyone slow down! I wish I had the authority to pull him over and if I had that authority I would pull him over in a heart beat! Not to mention talking on a cell phone is illegal. It real nice $250 fine in NY.

What grinds my gears...........?
When I'm watching new Top Gear on a FREE streaming site and then half way through an episode I get a message that says "You have watched 72 minutes of video, to watch more please sign up for our subscription package......."
What the f is free about that!!! No prior warning at all! Sods, the lot of them. Rage, pure rage. I'm now so angry I'm going to bed.

The fact that John Cena is a terrible wrestler but when it comes to his rapping he is good. Also that my high school is calling my house saying I didn't return my textbooks when I handed EVERY SINGLE ONE in. I'm not paying for books they lost. End of rant.

What I meant was that people generally don't challenge a large, uncared for Landrover with a 'Do NOT challenge the Landrover' sticker on the rear window. If you do get some clown trying to mess you around, you can hint that you are willing to trade paint if they continue with their stupidity.

I've had people cutting me off alot, some just drive normal and others get real nervous trying their best to pass the car in front
I don't tailgate, I just take a peek to pass time to time, it seems to get them jumpy.

I hate it when someone points out the obvious. For example, tonight I saw a commercial for a new episode of Burn Notice while watching WWE Raw with my dad. At the end of the commercial, the announcer said "Burn Notice, a new episode Thursday at 9pm, on USA." Then my dad says "A new episode of Burn Notice is on Thursday at 9." My response, ".................". I was thinking "Yes... I'm not deaf nor blind father."

"Your total is $2.26."
Customer has in her hand, a Toonie, Loonie and a Quarter, and puts down $2.25... "Oh! I don't have a penny I've only got $2.25, is that okay?"
....facepalm. $2.25 is not equal to or greater than $2.26. I will not make an exception because that gives the other customers who are watching the wrong idea.
Not only that, she had a loonie in her hand as well so I booked her for that.

Okay, just been to the hills to ride my bmx with my little bro and his mate, having a good time blah, blah, blah.Then, from out of nowhere this bunch of chav scum just started throwing stones at us for no reason. You know the sort of people I mean. Stupid, wear hats all of the time, and speak like there gangsters.
Anyway, I would have stood up to them if there was less of them. Just waiting to see one of them on their own, then their cowardly side shows
