My visibility would be so much better if it wasn't for the tattered remains of all those bl**dy sticky labels on the windscreen!!!

That reminds me. This isn't a grump so much as a mystery. Whenever I wind some black plastic tape around the end of a wire, I notice that there is an edge where the tape finishes. I make a point of checking that the edge is there because --
Whenever I come to remove the black plastic tape from the end of a wire, there is no edge in sight!
It has vanished form our universe. Did it disappear through a hole in space-time or did somebody cut it off while I wasn't looking? I haven't got the patience to sit and watch a taped-up wire to see what actually happens. I just know that I'll end up hacking at the tape until it comes off in little pieces.

Plenty of folk "miss" motorbikes...
As the recipient of the use of that phrase after being hoofed off my motorbike, I can vouch for its prevalence...

There's a sign on a road near me advertising Baby Rabbit's, Duck's & Chick's
Re: Sidelights, I was referring to a day like last Sunday, when it's pouring down with rain, the motorway is awash with spray, visibility is poor, and the bl**dy sidelight squad wonder why you can't see 'em coming up behind you

Well I was going to start a thread - 'Grumpy old man!' but then I did a search and found this ancient thread.
So my Grump is Why do a mass of old people when then either enter or leave a cafe, pub or a shop just walk inside the doorway stop to have a discussion stopping the rest of us entering or leaving? Why can't they either get out of the way or have their discussion outside but away from the door.
I should add I'm my early 70's but I do my damedest not to hold people up.

Anyone who thinks they're important, or entitled, or special.
Cyclists or mums with buggies or disableds who pull out in front of you because you aren't allowed to run into them.
People who seem to think that eye contact means you're going to stop dead. Objectively, that's nearly always West Indian or African women, perhaps it's a thing there.
