IMHO the most inconsiderate drivers are those dropping off/ collecting kids from primary schools. They assume everyone else around them is doing the same and can just abandon their cars wherever they like without any consideration for other drivers who actually need to pass by.
Oh yes - absolutely. They're the worst offenders of speeding around schools as well. Used to drive me nuts. Why can't they just get up earlier?
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I think I'm right in saying you're a shopping delivery driver for one of the supermarkets Hostafan ? I bet you have some tales to tell about drivers and curmudgeonly customers!

I am a curmudgeon and I have shopped in Waitrose from time to time. Admittedly, the experiences rarely triggered curmudgeonly behaviour. Sainsbury's has started the Christmas music torture. What makes them think it will become to buy? I want out as soon as possible and usually without half of what I came for😩🙉🙉🙉
The Smart Meter Saga continues .............. having been told by NPower the other week that the reason I've had two 'appointment failures' to fit smart meters (and two consequent compensation payments) is because 'the meters don't work in your area' I have just received another letter from 'Access Install' telling me that they'll be fitting meters in my area next week so they've made an appointment to fit smart meters here next Wednesday morning.
As you can imagine this resulted in an immediate 'angry phone call' to Npower when I asked 'Charlotte' in Customer Service to find someone to put AccessInstall up against a wall and throw darts at them ... she said that she is even more angry with them than I am and she'll happily throw darts at them ................ that's the sort of Customer Service I approve of! She has promised that I will not hear from them again re smart meters unless and until they become mandatory. Watch this space ...
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I don't shop in Waitrose very often, but on holiday one year we paid one a visit. The woman next to me suddenly yelled "Tristan, will you put that effing phone away and bloody help me !" I felt mildly hysterical, but maybe that's not classed as being curmudgeonly, but only mildly annoyed in Waitrose circles?
I was doing the Harry Potter studio tour and a young lad was anxious to move to the next exhibit in the hall. “Henry,” said his mother exasperatedly, “live in the moment.”
Sorry to be a traitor to the cause of avoiding Christmas till the last minute but we have just got back from a Danube river cruise including the Christmas markets at Budapest & in Vienna. The short break was lovely (though ridiculously pricey for such a short break). My curmudgenonly moan is the that the idiots who are mucking us about with Brexit have caused the £ to crash against the Euro so much that it's virtually 1 for 1 now so everything was ridiculously expensive, we hardly bought a thing. To cap it off I have come home with a stinker of a cold - bloody Air travel gets me every time
