Once upon a time I was a lady driver who only drove BMW's, Oh the stories I could tell! Young man in something like a Fiesta over-revving at traffic lights and avoiding eye contact. I used to rev too and then let him take off at an obscene speed whilst continuing my journey in peace.
And weekend drivers (also frequently male) on Saturdays they have to be somewhere 5mins ago and their mission is top priority. On Sundays they don't really want to go anywhere...........................
I really like men (most of them) but happily go everywhere by bus now

Oh yes, and I had to do a defensive driver training course every year to keep the car. Most instructive and should be required as a refresher for everyone every 10 years or so I reckon.

Sorry Doghouse but most of the first paragraph whistled right past me, if its got five wheels, fuel and somewhere for me to sit I don't generally bother too much about the rest. It was very impressive anyway and many is the time I wished for a policeman, never that lucky.

People who expect everyone else to keep to the rules, but for some reason, (probably because think they're a superior form of human being), they believe that the rules don't apply to them and they do as they choose
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
IMHO the only thing duller than the actual game of golf is the overwhelming majority of those who play it. And why do they wear clothes on a golf course that not sane person would be seen wearing anywhere else. Micro check shorts ladies?
Sorry, got to jump in here, used to play golf often and really enjoyed it. Began when I worked at Wentworth and after a sarcastic comment from PE teacher about my hockey skills, never looked back. But Golf Clubs, now there's a whole different story. I have never belonged to a Club in my life, never welcomed (unlike this lovely forum) and when I was barmaid in the Men's Bar gained a life education in MCPmanship.
Like so many areas of life, it ain't the game........................
Mind you, you can still be annoyed by it, my husband always was

I don't get golf. Complete waste of time - except when I need OH gone for a few hours so I can get on with something with no interference..
British motorways - congested, poor services, people hogging lanes, undertaking, M20 a lorry park often as not.
News readers using the present tense to report what has happened and the plural form of verbs with single nouns like government, union, team.........

Obelixx, I'm certainly with you on golf.
Sport generally but mostly golf.
