)Examples (not generalisations, I'm not saying everyone behaves like this)
1. Cyclists riding in groups, 2 or more abreast, on single lane carriageways well under the posted speed limit.
They know they're under the limit, they know they're holding up cars and frustrating the drivers who can't get past them, but they adopt the "We're entitled to be here" mentality and refuse to budge when it would be easy to move to indian file and hug the left so cars can past
2. Dumb women in supermarkets. (Aldi in particular) get served, pay, then stand there frigging with the trolley and groceries which stops the next person from moving on. A few weeks back I was the victim of this. I was next in line, the cashier says to me "bring your trolley around here "(pointing to the spot where the last person was still frigging with their trolley), so I said loudly, "I will as soon as these dickheads wake up and move out of the road". Dirty looks and mumbles resulted but they weren't just holding me up but the 6 people behind me
3. Dumb women in shopping centres who feel the need to dawdle along pushing their prams/shopping trolley's/mix of the two, side by side yapping a mile a minute blocking everyone behind them from getting past.
4. Drivers who think it's their right to zoom up the left lane when it is about to end and expect it's their right to be let in infront of you. And if you do let them in, not a wave or acknowledgement that you did.
FFS, I grew up in the bush. If a bloke took his tractor or farm truck out on a back road and a car came up behind him, he'd move to the left to let people past.
A couple of weeks ago, coming home down a single carriageway, a bloke on a cycle was struggling up hill toward a roundabout. I was watching him and slowed down in case I took him out. As he got near, he looked over his shoulder, saw me and pulled right out of the road instead of pushing into the roundabout. I accelerated, passed him and gave him a wave of thanks for his courtesy.
To me, that's the root cause of all this stuff. Common courtesy is dying out, too many people are self absorbed tosspots who only think of themselves. they're much too concerned with their own "rights" and "entitlements" than having any context of how their behaviour impacts on others.
