What is wrong with people?!??!!
I went to the local supermarket and parked, did what I had to do and was on route around the car park to the exit and as I turned one corner, I noticed another driver reversing slightly but stopping as I approached. Then he just reversed out, so I had to quickly stop. The look on his face suggested he was not happy in having to not face me in case I was looking at him irate, and I was. But I think he felt shame in having done what he did, nonetheless in his opinion he had to do it to get out. Well, he didn't have to, he could have waited as I saw him seconds before as I exited the supermarket, so it was not that he had been waiting minutes to come out. Then after that he just drove on, indicating, and I thought 'he didn't pay me the respect by reversing out as he did yet now he respects me enough now to indicate', which seemed evidently ironic.
Then there was the driver who knew not where he or she was going, slowly driving, stopping, pressing on the brakes, indicating then driving on because the direction they were about to consider was then considered the wrong one, all of this in front of myself and four vehicles behind me. Beggared belief. Then there was the typically slow driver, less than 25miles per hour, I don't know why. A pedestrian who considered it wholly appropriate to walk in front of my vehicle as I went to move, again it beggared belief. People simply step into the middle of the road, or any part of the road that a vehicle is expected to flow through, under the assumption oncoming vehicles will stop. Finally two vehicles who signalled for me to give way for them to change lanes and then didn't even say or signal 'thank you', both of them from lanes way over from where they wanted to go.
There will be more to follow, no doubt, because I just went on a 40-minute drive to the supermarket and back home. Imagine what happens when you are on the road for most of the day.
