WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU?!

Last night I went about a mile and a half to pick up pizza at about half past five, and it was utterly awful. Everyone was trying to ram themselves through my car from every angle, zipping around jamming themselves into every inch of space.. it was like being in a room full of people screaming "F****CCKK YOOUUUUU!" at the top of their lungs into your face! I couldn't choose a lane, I couldn't thin about where I was going..

And absolutely NO F*CKER ever lets you out of ANYWHERE. I must've sat at a side road for 5 minutes watching a stream of cars, each one giving a great big f*k off message as I sat there haplessly waiting and waiting.

Then this morning I come up to a roundabout wanting to go straight on, which is clear, and the road to my left is blocked. So what do people do? They just drive, not giving any form of a sh*t about anyone else, and stopping their cars immediately across the front of mine, preventing me from going anywhere. I mean WTF? You utter arseholes! Then Mrs Grips calls me and she's been stuck in a jam near Reading caused by people doing the exact same thing on the M4 roundabout.

So to sum up, drivers in the SE are either:

a) retarded
b) c**ts
c) both

Very unimpressed.

5/10.

Organisation of summary points into a list reveals level headedness in rant.

It shocked me when I moved here how bad it is, dog eat dog is an understatement,
the school run is like a mad max movie.

The week after I passed my test I drove down to London......

and I drove far worse than most of the drivers around me.

(I even made a 4x4 reverse back down a one way street....I was going the wrong way to save time)...

Love driving through central London....the cheekiest wins 😀

Saying that you need to be a c**t to drive in the region is no excuse for being a c**t.

The Pizza was just about cold when I got back too 🙁

And yes I know it was silly to drive for pizza but no-one delivered and I couldn't face more hotel food. And it'd have been stone cold had I walked.

Places to be, etc. etc.

This is Farnborough. Have to get to Asda to pick up another lb of Asda Smart Price makeup.

I've also driven in London, to be honest it wasn't this bad. I mean it's busy, fair enough, but it worked. This was just awful.

I think you will find most people are * the geographic region has nothing to do with it.

In addition, the flow is moving. Up in Manchester its ridiculously slow compared.

Look at the amount of cars in London with dents in. Drivers in London also seem to shout and scream and threaten a lot. Until I get out the car to discuss it at which point it seems to be windows up time funnily enough...

It's probably proportional to the number of people in London, is it not?

Look at the number of cars with dents in them in other major European cities... Paris... Rome...

Not at all, there is definitely a disproportionate amount of cars with dents/scrapes in. I've no idea about rome or wherever, London is in the uk and the comparison is to elsewhere in the uk. And let's be honest, Italian drivers are notoriously shocking so is that a comparison you'd be happy with...?

But you can't really compare London, with a sleepy backwater though, can you? You need to compare Apples with Big Apples. Not lemons.

I chose Pizza Hut because I like their pizzas. Haven't really got time to go through all the local places to see if they're better 🙂

Drivers in Rome are indeed comically awful, but Farnborough rush hour was approaching that to be honest.

I try and let people out, but most of the time they're not expecting it so just sit there looking utterly blank.

Who is comparing it with a sleepy backwater? believe it or not we actually have cars up here in Liverpool, Manchester , Glasgow etc.... 😕

Loddrik - you have cow crossings on roads up North. I've seen them. You actually stop traffic to let farm animals cross the road!! WTF!
Trying to pretend your all urban an' ting. Don't make me laugh.

This is about right IME, London is fairly good for driving round IME, people are often polite and let you in, certainly more so than my experience of driving in Leeds. Your right though, as soon as you go out west you hit a wall of lower middle management BMW driving, barrat house residing jumped up idiots who can't drive for toffee and have no courtesy.

What London drivers DONT like is hesitation. Anyone who is ambling along checking which way they should be going, you know the type- centre of the road almost, below the limit and unsure.

Its a fast-flowing system, highly choreographed and of course you need to keep well away from the Somalian drivers.

Damnit Loddrik, you made me laugh!

Molgrips - Was there another 2 for 1 offer on Ben & Jerry's at Asda?

Yep that's one of the main reasons I would never live down that end of the country. That and IME London seems to have a disproportionately large population of self-absorbed dickheads.

You sound a bit wet but I have some sympathy for you. I spent 10 months commuting to Frimley & had to use the motorbike, the trip by car could take hours.

And cycling down here is a nightmare. When I go out on road rides I can mostly stick to the lanes (which are excellent quality) and thereby miss most of the traffic, but if I have to venture onto the bigger roads it's heart-in-mouth time 🙁

Graham - Do you know what the best thing about being a self absorbed dickhead is?

You don't give a flying f__k what others think! 😆

I know, but really I'm not. I've driven round Paris on the 'freak, around Chicago on i294, all over London by car and bike.. those places can be pretty mental but last night's trip was aggressive and downright RUDE.

DezB - I presume you mean your windscreen wipers? One swipe for right, two for left?

Loddrik - I have a spare room if you want to come and live in what sounds like your spiritual home.
