What gets your goat?


Recommended Posts

On the same note, drivers who don't stop at zebra crossings (this is more appropriate for Sheffield in general than country-wide) did they never get taught the rules of a zebra crossing?!

 

I find it's more often pedestrians than drivers who don't know the rules of a zebra crossing. You'd be amazed how many expect drivers to stop even though they're not on it yet.

What gets my goat are people that think because they are in a higher position than you and they think they can talk to you like dirt and wipe their feet all over you and when you eventually answer them back they don't know the hell what to do.

 

that really gets my goat too,some people think there so much better dont they.:)

I've haven't really seen that, when I'm driving I check zebra crossings incase someone is stepping out as I'm approaching. However, if I'm walking I don't tend to use them in Sheffield as people WILL drive at you expecting you to run across before they get to the zebra crossing. I know the city is awful for drivers in general but the zebra crossings are my main quibble, just before the use of indicators and roundabouts.

What gets your goat? Ah a question to bring out the grumpies. OK you got me, here goes ...

 

1) Packaging!

 

"Open here" it says, and then 5 minutes later you reach for the biggest knife in the drawer and hack at it like you shoulda done in the first place.

 

2) Labels that leave a sticky mess when removed. A gunk that can't be shifted with any solvent yet invented.

 

3) When the OH tidies up and I can't find anything. My goat is well and truly got when that happens.
