The M6, specifically anywhere between Brimingham and Manchester Airport. Every time I get on that fucker going northbound there are signs saying "Queue ahead 40 mph". You stop for about 20 minutes, then all of a sudden it's gone. You let yourself get a bit excited about moving again and another "Queue ahead 40 mph" sign appears about 3 miles later, repeated for miles. I have come to the conclusion that "Queue ahead 40 mph" is a subliminal order, and not a warning of future congestion.

Downloading something to my tablet on the Sky Go app for my journey today and realising that an update has wiped it. I have to do some work now.

The BBC weather app which I used as a guide to determine whether or not to hang my washing out today.

Agree with you. Every time i use the M6 Northbound there is traffic/accident around the Stafford/ Stoke area (And no it's not me causing it)

The worst thing about the M6 is when you approach the toll and the signs say "M6 Toll Clear". What about the M6? I want to know whether it's worth the money, not whether a road that's always clear is clear.

The M6 through this area is horrific.

Cycling to work and back. I thought it might be a good idea seeing as I mainly exist on ribs, dirty cheese burgers, red wine and cigs. Well I was mistaken, I actually thought I was going to make my wife a widow a mile into my expedition but carried on and arrived at work. My commis chef who is a drug fucked, criminally minded reprobate of the lowest level( I love him like a son) remarked " look a bit fucked chef". Never again.
It gets easier afterwards. Lay off the fat and keep your arse on the bike.

One time mine told me it was going to be cloudy but relatively warm.

I went for a walk with just a long-ish t-shirt and jeans. I've never seen rain like it. I was stuck about two miles from the car in the middle of nowhere.

People who dont indicate so I cross the road, then they decide they want to turn onto the road I'm crossing at the last minute and have the cheek to have a go at me after nearly running into me.

People who sit through a (piss takingly quick changing) green light, and by the time they've gone it's red again. I'm not a road rage kinda guy but that infuriates me. :bang:

It happens to me a lot. I just scream obsenities back at them even louder and they soon back down and realise the errors of their ways.

I do take a few liberties with amber lights I must admit, but never red.

Macclesfield Town/Manchester City. It's complicated.
Green means go.
Amber means go faster.

People who think a red light is advising you to stop rather than telling you.

Or 'Cyclists' as they are otherwise known.

I never understood why cyclists nudge their way to the front of the queue when waiting at traffic lights. It's not as if they're going to accelerate faster than a car and they just hold traffic up. Always try to block them off me, tossers.

Fellow commuters who don't put their phones on vibrate in the train. There should be a rule stating that either you read a book/kindle and shut it or play some music at a reasonable volume (ie one I can't hear that much) during rush hour (or whenever I take the train).
