LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES.Learning to drive is frustrating, I know exactly what I have to do, but when I'm on the road I just don't do it.99% of the time, it's not you, it's the other pillocks around you...So many people cannot drive...

Tom Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Like!I slowed to let a car pass beside me because the gap was too small for both of us, and the car behind thought they would be clever and overtake me, leading to a 'oh cottage cheese tastes very nice what now' moment for both the other cars. People have no patience with learners, it's like the totally forget they ever had a first lesson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Yep, so many times when they drive right up your arse when you're a learner... It's so much rage-filling...However, so gratifying when you over-take someone on a dual carriageway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicky Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 It's rage filling but just wait until they plough into you because they are so close. Happened to my friend at traffic lights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Agreed. I had gone around a parked car just after a bollard in a very quiet, 25mph road. Some tosser drives past while approaching another bollard and manages to swerve back in just in time. I was doing no harm to anyone. Ergh some people!

Fred Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 I had none of these problems... maybe I was just a decent learner driver? either that, or the roads were always dead or too busy for stupid people to do things listed above.

Will Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 LOL @ my Dad not putting the handbrake on and it rolling into neighbour's carMy Mum is screaming at him because he did not put the handbrake on. He says he did but he always forgets and I'm having a huge laugh with my mate at how stupid he is. The back of the car is cracked and scratched hugely and the car rolled into the front of our neighbour's car, whose right, side-light is not working. I can't @ being able to use this as a future joke:Q: What doesn't have to be drunk, to crash their car?A: My Dad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesB Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Invigilators with squeaky shoes, do they wear them to be deliberately annoying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Yes, yes they do. Invigilators are hired on the one main requirement that they are annoying. In my college we have an obese woman who can't walk very fast so wastes your time getting paper and she pants while walking up and down the aisles when just checking. Another woman wears flip flops and because of how she walks trying to keep them on, they flip up and then she stomps down. I've told invigilators to take their shoes off before, it isn't fair! I get extra time due to problems associated with easily losing focus. Luke_A, JamesB and Mer 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mer Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Same! And people who have a cold and keep sniffing or ding that thing where they snort it into their throat. Or people who have a bad cough, especially those loud sealion coughs! Grr indeed!I never got extra time and either never finished the exam (especially maths) or just about finished on time Can't help but wonder what if people had known about my ADHD which was causing me to lose focus easily etc, what if I'd got extra time? Would I have got the A in science I should've got? This is why we need time travel Although if Back To The Future is anything to go by, it can have serious consequences!

JamesB Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Apparently being diagnosed with clinical depression can get you extra time, but I didn't really bother with it, as I generally get on with exams fine, its usually more the revision that I find hard.

Laelda_95 Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 I hate when you arrange to go somewhere on an inset day and someone drops out because they want to spend the day revising. Seriously?

Laelda_95 Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 I wish he wouldn't though, because he hates theme parks,as he refuses to queue for longer than 10 minutes,and then walks around with a face like a slapped arse because he gets bored Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheepie Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 Haha! I have a friend like that. Remind him why he's really there (ie- spending time with you) and that should guilt-trip into just getting on with queueing... and you know, you might have to..... TALK to each other!

That will just make him even more of an arse. He'll probably end up going for a pint or something. My mum won't go on rides, so it'll just be me walking round like a loner . Not a good loook!
