Many things annoy me..
Slow walking people.
Twats on electric scooters weaving through traffic.
Drivers not using their indicators.
These are just a few things.
My slow pace is still faster than slow walkers.
Where I am, the scooters are not supposed to be on normal sidewalks, and seem annoyed your using the sidewalk.
IF YOU USED YOUR SIGNAL WE WOULD HAVE BOTH GONE FASTER!
The left lane is for passing, I really don't care how fast or slow you are going, if your not passing somebody GET OVER!
anyway, you might have struck a few nerves.
Yes, same here in the UK, i dont budge when im walking on the pavement, and i walk in the middle, sometimes when the pavement becomes narrow, it forces them to slow right down.
I just don't make an effort to move farther over.
Pavement is one of the more interesting words for British vs American English. British pavement == American sidewalk. In American English, I don't see pavement in common use, but its more of the general material that a road is made out of, or maybe hard surface, when not specifying a specific. "They just put some new pavement down". Anyway, I just think its one of the more interesting (and potentially confusing) British to American translations.
Sometimes I'm tempted to just stand in the middle of a roundabout with a sign that says "use your blinkers you fuckin morons" but then I remember I like being in one piece. Even worse are the people that signal going into a roundabout but not while they're exiting. Yes, you have literally no other option but to enter the roundabout, better signal to let people know I'm gonna enter it. There's 4 exits and people waiting to enter lol fuck you have fun guessing where I'm gonna exit.
