What's made you grumpy today?

Yes I know this will bring out the cyclists in defence but why do all the cyclists I come across think they are invincible? They go through red lights, don't look at roundabouts, change direction without looking or signalling in the knowledge that they are immune to prosecution (or so it seems). Personally I wouldn't allow anyone to use a cycle until they have passed a test and are fully insured on a bike that has a recognisable number plate registered at the DVLA. None of them seem to be aware that a car can make a very big mess of them and their bike and rely on the fact that drivers will do anything (understandably) to avoid an accident.

People that use 'a' when they should use 'an'.

I know it's only a small thing but it's systematic of modern teaching methods, where spelling and punctuation are not considered important.

People who use 'of' instead of 'have', 'affect' instead of 'effect' (and vice versa) and oh so much more :shakefist:

I'm surprised that 'innit' hasn't appeared on the forum (and elsewhere in the written word) on a regular basis.

Words like that I can live with, I use gonna on a regular basis and all languages are fluid in that respect. But when 2 words mean completely different things and people insist on using the wrong one, that's where I get peeved. A case in point is a recent thread where someone wrote striped instead of stripped, which completely changes the meaning of the entire thread!

Work then dick heads in city, wrong side of road in a tranny, overtaking every car in a queue, ect

 

[StevenRB45]

The complainers on Channel 4, bloke looking in wonder at the phone that someone as hung up him. Here's an idea don't scream immediately at the person answering the phone and perhaps they'll stay with you. Also the prick who complains about everything rather than going out to get a job to make money...just arghhh.

Edit: jesus still watching it and these people bring it on themselves...you've been offered the solution but no principle dictates you continue to be an arse...
