Ordering an 8 quid bolt, finding it to be the wrong thread pitch, winding myself up for an argument with the seller
only to work out it's my own bloody fault for not reading the description
Things like that would drive me nuts.

It's been slung in the draw of imperial stuff, if I ever need a 1/4" - 28 bolt I'll know where it is.
Now to wait for the 1/4" - 20 that I actually wanted to turn up.

People in the paper Kremlin eroding safety in the name of performance, not listening to concerns and pushing on their agenda regardless.

I imagine he's referring to his job and 'head office'. He's in a safety critical job and his activities possibly conflict with their service level targets. Just guessing though.

People. Just fucking people. I'm about at the stage of life where I'm really not sure I can give a fuck about most of them. It's not been a great day and looking forward to getting to Pembrey and seeing some of the nicer examples of people.

Folk who don't think.
Had problems overnight with the fuse board tripping.
The basement is OK, so seems to be something on top 2 floors.
Got big fuseboard with 3 banks of 10 fuses.
Got pals staying upstairs and told them to unplug anything they brought and not use anything while I try to eliminate things.
Getting weird results and meter showing strange things.
Went upstairs and they've been using the kettle.

On holibobs at the moment, so here's a few things that have made me go 'Hmmm'.
People who have forgotten what stairs are for. We're on the first floor. Two flights of stairs to the ground floor and breakfast, yet hoards wait for the lift. Here's a thing though....most are chubbers. Could those two things be related?
And on that subject, people who load up plates from the breakfast buffet and then leave most of it. FFS, you can always go back for more, so just take a few bits! If you're still hungry, use those legs to go back inside, all 10 meters of it. And guess what...the worst offenders are chubbers.

Perfectly worded to describe where I work too, I might use it if that’s ok?

Taxi's...just in general.
I used to have the highest respect for taxi drivers but now i think along with cyclists they are the scurge of the roads!
I thought it was only in Bristol but my commutes to Minehead lately have shown that thought to be wrong.
I was following a taxi on the A39 for about 25 miles and it seems his theory was to drive half the speed limit - 20mph limit - 10mph - 60mph limit 30mph max - these peeps must know the roads speed the fuck up ffs some of us have lives to get back to!
And don't get me started on them pulling out on you and doing 10mph ffs!
You do the job of driving all fucking day for your job, you should be able to do it correctly!

Professional drivers they call themselves.
If you want to see an example of shit driving and a complete lack of ability to read a road,take a city/town taxi driver onto country roads. Their night driving is even worse. I had one once who apparently didn't know how to use his high beam.
