Pet hates?

One off mine:

Lycra clad cyclists, racing down country lanes, silently creeping up behind and then passing, at speed, an innocent dog walker and then shouting ‘control your dog’ after the poor animal jumps and barks after being surprised.

What happened to the Bell Ring?

I wonder how these Guys/Gals behave when they’re off the so called ‘Morale High Ground’ and return to their own cars?

OK: The problem originated from trying to edit 'off' to 'of' as misspelled in the first post.'

It seems, now/since that the edited version has been deleted and I am left with a misspelling in the original post?

This mistakes seems to have attracted pedants who are ready to leap on such a mistake so as to divert the Gist of the thread?

Sad! :cry:

I can't see anyone commenting on your mistake... :?:

Anyway, my pet hate is people who sit in something other than the left hand lane of a multi lane road when they're not properly overtaking or even overtaking at all.

Mine's the opposite :) When you are doing 90 in the middle lane and some holier than thou driver (who has just overtaken in the outside lane so is obviously going faster than 90) indicates and moves right over to the inside lane but can only stay there for a nano second as he now has to overtake the caravan directly in front of him.
