Two things today also:

1. Rude people.

2. Hangovers. Vicious, soul consuming hangovers.

1) Bimbling tourists (st Pancras is a nightmare atm) Got smacked in the face by someones backpack as they weren't watching where they were going this morning

2) Cyclists who run red lights.

3) people who stop dead in the street whilst fiddling with their blackberry or ipod

Whoever it was who knocked a bin over at 05:00 this morning and woke the dogs up. Cue frantic barking until I went down and told them to shut up and go back to sleep.

People who assume that just because the new ERP system is live they should have an account, even if they never used the old one and were not one of those intended to to use it now.

People who complain when something doesn't get done despite the fact that they were told it wouldnt be done two weeks in advance and asked to tell us if this would be a problem.

Amen to that!

Had to give a witness statement the other week whereby a cyclist ran a red light and then straight onto a truck's blind side. If she hadn't had screamed so loudly he would have run her over (her bike was a write off though).

- Subaru Impreza drivers.

- Emailing an agent back to let them know I can't speak on the
phone, then having them call me incessantly all afternoon.

2) Cyclists who run red lights.

you've reminded me of a delightfully funny thing I once saw. Traffic lights controlling 2 forks of a road merging into one. Cyclist at red light in left hand branch thinks "well all I'm doing is going straight ahead in a little bit of the left lane, no trouble there..." and keeps going.

Bus in right hand branch doesn't see any of this and just goes on the green light.
Cyclist sees the bus coming and stops dead. Back wheel of bus swings into front wheel of bike and squashes it into the gutter. Cyclist just manages to hop free of his now-vertical bike onto the kerb, and watches it get completely squished before his eyes.

Me, on bicycle still waiting at the lights, thinks he won't be doing that again.

cyclists who insist on riding on the road (usually badly) when there is a purpose built cycle path right ******* next to them
