Things that annoy me...

[Avatar]

I don't like sudden loud noises.

My other car does not have cruise control but I still maintain my speed; perhaps it is a case of attention to your speed and surroundings. I check my mirrors every so often for anything coming from behind, check my speed, monitor the cars around my for any signs of imminent idiocy; rinse and repeat.

Everyone probably doesn't pay as close attention to their speed and try and maintain it, they only look at their speed once every now and then, who knows.

This happens so often on the N4 I firmly believe it's the human nature coming into play, "I've just been passed, which means I'm not first". The other thing I can't stand is someone cruising in the right hand land waaaaaaaaaaaay behind me, and then accelerating up to my arse when I move over to the right hand lane to overtake. I had a BMW do that a couple of weeks ago, and then flash his lights at me while I'm right next to the car I'm overtaking. What did he expect me to do, wipe out a Polo to get out of his way?

Look, indicate, move...if you want to close the gap you better be sure you close it BEFORE I start moving my car, else you will have to use that little pedal in the middle...HARD

Then there we have people who have no idea how chip cards work and insist on asking me if it's a Saving or Debit Card.

No, the card only has the work "CREDIT" written on it for shits and giggles.

You are aware of the fact that you can link multiple accounts to a single card, right? For example: My credit card is linked to my cheque account so I can use the card to make purchases on either credit or from my cheque account.

I work in a retail store and I get annoyed when people look at me like an idiot when I ask them whether it's credit, savings or cheque.

Yes, fully aware of that. It just annoys me, because most shops I frequent just do it as the CC account is the default account. If I want to use my cheque account I would use my cheque card or my debit card.

What annoys me is that the cashier doesn't check the device and just blindly asks "cheque or savings"...uhm no, credit. "huh? oh, ok"

Roads and everyone on them. I hate driving, you have to think for so many people. From pedestrians walking without looking and as slow as a cripple, 200 year old turtle, idiots who dont know what an indicator is, ppl going 80 in the fast lane, bikes that zip between lanes like its a game where you respawn if you fall off, ignoring red traffic lights, people cutting in front of you, etc. Not fucking wonder so many people die on the roads. Some people turn into brainless, dangerous morons when they get behind a wheel.

I would commit murder if I were to drive around for a living.

I've actually been meaning to ask here, I would bet some of you ride motor cycles. How is it riding in SA traffic?
