I'm the Dude, so that's what you call me. Or maybe His Dudeness, or Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing

Makes me think of a Paul Calf sketch about a ****in’ student writing a ****in’ cheque for a bag o’ chips.

The Big Lebowski starts of with The Dude writing a cheque at the supermarket for a carton of milk... still in dressing gown too

Group of students in a pub, each buying their own drinks ... with credit cards.mad

Good one. You could of course extend that to students paying for anything anywhere...can of coke and a packet of matches - on the card of course

I used to work in bar.
Groups of blokes always bought rounds
Groups of girls typically got their own drinks - pain in the arse!

People not respecting ones personal space. I had someone brush past me the other day when I was queuing in a shop, and to add insult to injury when queuing behind me, brushed me again with his newspaper! Aaaarggg!!! I wanted to line him up against the wall and give him a jolly good talking to.

You should have turned to him and said "Hmm I feel horny"

They're ignorant, mad bastards in Greece. There I was displaying a huge amount of courtesy and giving them that nice friendly wave where you just hold your hand up for a second. They were tootin' and waving fists back at me. Christ knows what they're like if someone gets a bit aggressive or offensive.

I had some of the most interesting driving experiences ever in Greece. One time we got lost on a long windy mountain road (one of those ones with little graves where people have had fatal accidents all along it) for about ½ an hour in the pitch black. When we finally made it back to civilisation and streetlights I went over a huge pothole making a horrendous noise then an owl flew into the windscreen. I’ll never forget it

People who don't understand roundabouts. Including those who never give way, and those who insist on giving way when they should pull out.

Have you ever tried driving in Greece?

The rule there is that if you are on a roundabout and someone wants to join you have to stop for them. As this makes no sense at all people tend to ignore it and follow the more conventional way - but not everyone. So basically you just don't know and have to guess - loads of fun!

and those who insist on giving way when they should pull out.

Reminds me of a coversation between Bush Snr and Dubya
Bush Snr: Son your making the same mistake in Iraq as I did with your mother
Dubya: What's that?
Bush Snr: Not pulling out soon enough.

Bus drivers.

I think you'll find they shop every day of the week buying just 2 tins of cat food on each visit....

Maybe they know something we don't
