Cyclists who don't understand how to cycle on the public highway correctly shouldn't be allowed to do so. And before you bleeding heart brigade get going, bad cycling causes far more accidents to cyclists than bad driving does. Bearing in mind that none of them ever seem to want to give any indication as to what their intentions are, its surprising more of them don't get squashed really.
Oh, and while we are on cyclists - anyone who isn't a professional cyclist who wears "professional" type cycling gear. Lets face it, most of the people you see wobbling around on bikes really shouldn't be going anywhere near lycra at the best of times.
My favourite is those who, when there's a red traffic light & a green man, they continue at speed, nearly knocking over pedestrians & then blame you for "* getting in their way", also another trend here in shitty, shitty Ilford is that most of the brain dead morons ride on the pavement, whilst spitting, stupid ignorant *.

The thing is those people might be disabled or something, just cos they don't look it doesn't mean they aren't...
anyway...people who, when waiting to board a bus, train or tram, try to push their way on as soon as the doors open, rather than standing aside to allow the people getting off to get out the doors. SO RUDE. It's just lack of manners in general really - we live in a 'me me me' culture these days, and good manners are dying out, which horrifies me. Half the stuff I see kids do with their parents in attendance allowing it to happen, my mother would slap me round the head for (even now).

I purposely stand rigid, if I'm at the front of the crowd waiting to get on a train, when people start pushing me from behind to get on whilst people are still trying to board, wait for 10 seconds you impatient *.
However I dislike this trend of pushchairs been left up on buses & trains, in rush hour but with no kid in them because the kid can actually walk about now. One bus driver told a girl to fold up her pram because the bus was full and already had two prams on it, she refused, barged her way on the bus, which meant the bus driver opened his doors & turned off the engine. She refused to budge & only did when she saw another bus in the distance, the selfish *.

I agree about the music on mobile phones as well...another example of complete lack of consideration for others. I've seen little kids do it with their parents there with them, which horrified me. Why are they not teaching them any better? Argh.
Again, the darling little angels from secondary school (read that as wasters who will probably be working in McDonalds when they leave school) have their trip-hip-hop'N'B (or whatever nonsense is coming from their phones) blaring out a a full distorted volume. What make sit worse is that a lot of the time it's tuneless shite with endless "*" "sung" throughout the song, which is a nice for for a fellow passenger, who is a pensioner or a mother with their 2 year old child.
