There are arsehole drivers and arsehole cyclists. Its the arsehole cyclists riding side by side having a chat doing 10kph down narrow country roads, growing a tail of traffic, or the ones that plough straight through red lights that are the issue. Most cyclists are grand though. 

My biggest near-miss was not a cyclist, but a clearly frustrated Dublin bus driver overtaking a cyclist at a bend on a very narrow road. I had to drive into the ditch to avoid the oncoming bus and missed by inches. Absolute bellend pulling a stunt like that. 

I've had more trouble as a pedestrian with cyclists though, especially in the city. We get a green light to cross the road and invariably there is some cunt ringing their bell (this now includes scooter users these days) coming full pelt towards the people trying to cross the street.

Yeah, but have you seen how much a chimpanzee costs these days?

Hahaha

I would rather pay a chimpanzee. At least there would be some entertainment value.

I genuinely don't know how some people have managed to get and keep the jobs they have, where they have to deal with the clients/the public/whoever and have not one iota of social skills. In one place I worked the receptionist was an absolute pig, but I'm pretty sure she knew where the bodies were buried so they couldn't fire her.

A few choice ones from the weekend. 
A very slight annoyance in Tesco at the self-service. Again people not replying to the "Do you want a receipt" question. This means I have to answer before I can use the till.
In Aldi, I grabbed 2 bottles of ginger ale. Walk to the only open till, guy halfway through putting his full trolley on the belt, sees me with my 2 bottles and continues on. When the situation is reversed I always ask the person to go ahead. He wasn't wearing a mask either the prick.
Happened a couple of times, cars coming out from a side road onto the main road in a little bit of a dangerous way, I had to go hard enough on the my brakes to not hit them. Then of course, they crawl along the road at a snails pace. Why take such a chance merging and then just drive so slowly? Doesnt make sense to me.

My biggest driving annoyance is people who stick to 40mph along 60-limit roads, then when passing through a 30-limit for a wee village they keep going at 40mph regardless.

Oh my fucking god, they have me raging!

Yep those drivers can be infuriating.

It’s a sign of being a terrible driver. Paying no heed to the surroundings or situation. Dry, clear day with nobody else on the road? 40mph. Torrential rain and heavy traffic? 40mph. Middle of a village, blind corners, just in time for school to let out? 40mph. It’s a big, blind ‘fuck you’ to the rest of the world. The physical manifestation of ‘I’m alright, Jack’ mentality. They probably voted for Brexit, the cunts.

I usually let people with a handful of items go in front in supermarkets but I don't expect it back when the shoe's on the other foot. Nice when it happens though. The one that annoys me is the next customer please divider. They opened up a new till at Lidl recently and the woman behind us gunned her trolley over, loaded up and didn't put the divider down. We switched over straight after. My wife started putting our stuff on afterwards and hissed at me not to touch the divider. Then the cashier started firing our stuff through as part of the woman in front's shopping, so half a dozen items had to get cancelled, which took a while. It's a win I guess, Mrs. Moot was super pleased with herself anyway. When we got outside the other woman had parked directly next to the entrance, not even in a parking spot.

Ah I don't expect it either, but I think its the "right thing to do". 
Im impressed with Mrs Moot. Thats a power move!
I've often been tempted but didn't fancy the extra wait while the cashier fixes the mix up. 

Ive probably mentioned this last driving one before. But there is one road out of my estate and its not overly wide. There is a section though where 4 or 5 cars all park on one side of the road (to my right as Im leaving). This BMW prick parks from time to time directly opposite these cars (to my left as Im leaving) creating a pretty tight bottle neck. Lazy fucker wouldn't even park with the other cars and thus create less of an issue. Its going to cause an accident one day as a lot of folk don't seem to stop when the obstruction is on their side, now with an obstruction on both sides its anyone's guess....BMW prick doesn't even fold in his mirror and most of the time leaves a good foot gap between the footpath and the car. Its just so inconsiderate and lazy.

Sounds good until you catch Covid.

I don't think I've seen it mentioned in here, but has anyone noticed the 'I'm not catching covid, someone else can press the button' craze that's sweeping the nation?

No, but I'm not allowed to hang out with Sugababes any more
