Grinds my gears

What do you complain about the most?

Do you know what grinds my gears?

Stupid and inconsiderate drivers I’m talking about the school Mum that parks across a road so that she can drop Tarquin off or the Mum that just goes round the roundabout indicates to come off the island when in fact she’s indicating to pull over abruptly to let Little Theodore out of the car,

I’m talking about the people that park on roundabouts blocking the exit so that we can’t get off the roundabout our selves, then there’s the driver that doesn’t know the speed limit or doesn’t drive it i.e. doing 30 in a 60 mile an hour zone then when it comes down to 30 mile an hour speed limit they accelerate to 40 miles an hour or just slow driving generally.

As you can see these are just a few of the drivers I encounter on my daily commute from Home to my office. It’s worse in tourist season that I live in a town where we get a lot of tourists and the roads then get even worse to the point that I don’t go out during summer apart from to work unless I absolutely have to because the traffic is so bad there’s no parking it’s a nightmare.

So poor Mrs Bob gets to hear firsthand about all of this as I come through the door from Work so unfortunately bad traffic bad driving is that is the thing I complain about the most I guess.
