Teenie3 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Folk dat dunna indicate (in any direction) at da roundabout at da tap o Church Road!! I joost hope da folk turning down left at St Olafs hall can read my lips (although I recon they'd probably hear me through closed car windows!)

Muppet Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 I'll second that! The only thing you can be sure about at that roundabout is that the car is almost certainly not going to turn in the direction you expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teenie3 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Couple o month back I sat at da top o da road waiting to turn right (with my indicator on I may add!) while the denner time traffic built up behind me to watch 4 (YES FOUR) cars turn down with not a blinkin light atween dem! Car number 4 was driven by the husband of car number 3 and I could hardly contain myself while I saw him look oddly at me trying to work oot whit I'd joost motioned and mouthed to his wife infront! He figured it out though when I gestured to him also "Do you too have an indicator malfunction?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveh Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Pet peeve? One of mine is when blokes don't wash their hands after doing the business in a public toilet. The fact that they open the door with their unclean hands means that the door handle carries germs for the rest of us to be potentially infected with. It not only affects us blokes touching the door handle after them as, for instance, there is a communal door out of the public toilets opposite the pier in town. For the same reason, I would never eat from a dish of peanuts on a bar in a pub as some of them would be urine-flavoured by the time I got to them. Yuk !

DizzyKipper Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Regarding indication at roundabouts (and junctions)... I hate drivers who do not indicate for the benefit of pedestrians, two-legged travellers like to know where you are going as well!! Saves being squashed...

nortien Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 A very specific pet hate here. People not filing things away correctly. At my work we have folder, after folder, after folder of A3 sheets of info, each page with a referance code to make it easy to find when going from one page in one folder to three or four pages in differant folders. Having to spend hours looking through one folder after another because some a*^% couldn't be bothered to get the right book out, or thought "it made more sense to have it in this book" really winds me up. PS~Also the fact that some shetlanders seem to not bother indicating at roundabouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate drivers who do not indicate for the benefit of pedestrians, two-legged travellers like to know where you are going as well!! Saves being squashed...But at the same time it pays to remember that a flashing indicator proves just one thing which is that the bulb works. My pet hate with indicating is drivers who indicate too soon as in still having to pass a junction before the one where they are intending to make a turn.
