My pet hates are rats followed by snakes. Why! When you can have a nice German Shepherd.
Guys,, the post you are referring to has something called irony in it !
BigBusMan was basically taking the pee out of many of the so called 'drivers' who are on the roads now

You thought it had but, latter he managed to proved that you were wrong however, it was a pleasure to have been patronised!
I am not saying you should ignor other road users but basically not get wound up by them, true you are always going to get those drivers that seem to want to involve you in some way, usually taking your safe space but due to their unknown nowledge that you can't stop a 3 ton vehicle on a sixpence you have to try and make allowances for them.

Pet Hates so not confined to motoring then?
You should leave enough space in front for others wishing to overtake to pull into. Are you sure you are not traveling too close to the car in front.I have driven many many motorway miles & detest those who think that an indicator gives them the handed right to change lanes, its as if they think they have a magic halo that'll allow them to change lanes without looking or waiting for a gap.

The ones I hate leave the shopping trolley at 90 degrees, forming a complete block of the aisle whilst they browse. Personally I take their trolley to the far side of the shop!Why do women when shopping in super markets stand with the shopping trolley at arms length at 45 degrees blocking the aisle ? They then glare at you for daring to push their trolley out of the way, may be why shopping is a pet hate. Haha
Having condemned cyclists for riding two abreast down country lanes can I add as a cyclist how increasingly pissed off I'm getting by pedestrians who insist on walking in clearly marked off-road cycle lanes? I don't mean shared public footpaths or tracks, I mean the urban and suburban pathways where the bike bit is clearly marked out by having red tarmac and lots of bikes painted along it at regular intervals, and the people bit is a different path altogether. We don't 'get' cycle lanes yet in this country do we? Try straying onto the wrong path in the Netherlands and you'll quickly learn the Dutch word for 'twat' before being run down by a battered black beast of a bicycle.

All that angst must be exhausting??1. Knobheads who deliberately sit astride a dual carriageway's white lines hundreds of yards ahead of cones that are blocking one of the lanes. Why? To stop you driving down to the cones and 'pushing in' of course. In this country we queue in single file at least half a mile short of the obstruction and leave the other lane completely empty. Never mind that merging alternately at the cones is a) recommended in the Highway Code and b) a quicker way for everyone to drive through the coned area.
2. Cyclists who ride side by side down narrow country lanes when single file would be a lot safer for everyone.
3. Pretty much anyone round our way in a BMW, Audi or VW Golf (the nursery car of choice for the aspiring BMW/Audi driver).
4. Chelsea tractor drivers taking little Tarquin and Africa quarter of a mile from home to school and driving like they're part of an action scene in Homeland.
5. Anyone incapable of reversing into their drive when it opens onto a busy road. How do they leave home each morning? By blindly reversing into the aforementioned busy road.
6. Incompetents who can't park straight in a simple sodding supermarket parking bay (see 4 above).
7. Those who feel they have to park right next to my MH at the supermarket when I've deliberately parked in an empty area. Of course I don't need to open the side doors do I?
8. T junction chancers who think they'll slip out in front of that oncoming MH because he's bound to be driving at only 40mph (see 3 above).
All that angst must be exhausting??

I can't repress the thought that down here in Pembrokeshire indicators are a novelty that never quite caught on with the majority of drivers......Drivers who don't use their signals.

Lack of anticipation by a lot of drivers not matching speed to traffic already on the M-way and then slotting in either in front of a slower moving vehicle or behind one that is travelling at a quicker pace. Just lack of common sense and judgementA slip road is for traffic to get up to speed with the traffic on the motorway, then 'merge' with the moving traffic. However, some folk won't allow traffic in, and some members of the middle lane owners club won't allow the 1st lane traffic to move over allowing the merging traffic in. Bad driving, and inconsiderate driving, brasses me off!
