The convoy of boy racers who drive faster on the bits of road you cant overtake them on, then slow down and bunch up the straights so you cant pass them then either..and if you try and pick them off one at a time the speed up to the car in front so as you can't pull into the space that was there when you started your over taking manouvere ....and to [edited by admin] you off still further they give you the single finger gesture.......... :x

You're not the first person to say that although I think it's more a perceived image rather than anything I say or do :wink: Yes that would be the first on the new list :lol:

Ask how much is it when they havent took there eyes of the meter all the way.

That's a good 'un. 'How much is that then' - Can you not see that thing in front of you called a meter, what does it say ?
We have a regular, does the same journey nearly every night, and every single time he asks how much it is !

When three big blokes all pile into the back leaving the front seat empty.

When a booking for 12 people is made and a minibus and saloon are sent. The saloon arrives first and sits there until the bus turns up. It's only then that the punters come out and get in the bus first.

When you take four students (girls are the worst), the fare is £9.80 and they ask 'how much is that each ?' and start divvying up coppers between themselves. Why don't one of you just give me a tenner and sort it out between yourselves later.

Once you've stopped to drop off blocking a busy road that's when they tell you they want to pay by card.

When you've got a boot full of shopping and they get out and go to their front door without taking any of their bags with them.

When you've got a boot full of shopping and they pick up the two lightest bags and as slowly as possible take them to their door.

When they keep you waiting outside their house for a long period then after getting in say 'can you put your foot down I'm running late'.

Love it when its blowing a gale and i say "wait a sec and ill get the door for you" Crunch sorry !! When your sat on a rank and they insist on getting in from the road side with oncoming traffic. When there trying to open the door with the ashtray,window lock and anything else but the handle.When its five forty on the meter and say "fiver for cash" or "leave the meter off mate ill sort you out" Could go on but ill sound like a grumpy old t***. :D
