I will start the list with drivers turning up at a long queue and ask if you have much to come off so they can go in front , even though they arrived last.They may also say they will be out of hours soon and need to get back for the cats funeral or let the dog out.
Drivers talking on their blue tooth ear piece phone, I thought they were talking to themselves all day, you say something to them ,and they gesture and point to their ear to let you know ,too busy to talk.
Blocking fuel pumps to get a tacho break in.
Tail gating, inches from the vehicle in front.
The been there ,done this , got the tee shirt driver, no matter what you say ,he is always right.
Drivers that sit in their cab and laugh at somebody else doing thirty shunts to reverse somewhere tight, the first driver to help out will be foreign, normaly a Turk .
… See ‘’ A 50 Tanker’‘’ driver post above…
Drivers who pull into an MSA, ■■■■ up the wheel then walk to the main building. Probably the same driver who bags his rubbish and chucks the bag out of the window

I put anyone asking me this in the same camp as “wadya spare ma summa ya diesel fer mah last twentah euro brudder?”
Scruffy mingers who let us all down by wearing torn work boots with the laces missing or loose laces not ■■■■■■■.
Wurzel Gummidge was tidier.
Jogging trousers and a football team shirt, not a good look.
Aggresive drivers who rant and rave at goods in staff if they have delayed them.
The more you annoy goods in, the longer they make you wait.
Amazing how fast you get tipped if polite to them.
the biggest moan i have is drivers moaning by god lorry drivers could moan about anything and everything, i think it is to do with long lonely hours.
this site at times could be called moan net uk

No, that’s MumsNet
The ones that don’t flash you in.
Me! For being too stupid to keep on doing it!
Not annoying but more funny that some lorry drivers presume that other drivers if not driving an artic don’t have a class 1 ,quite hilarious really .must be the ones with a small ■■■■■ again .
Truck Drivers who seem to not understand lanes or slip roads.
Joining a motorway today heading to Crewe, indicator on and doing 50mph , Dutch driver could move over , speed up or slow down as the road was clear. What he do? NOTHING!! lets me run onto the hard shoulder - Prick
THEN!!! He decides hes going to undertake me as I get into the middle lane for the road to split off and cuts across infront of an old Dear bimbling along at 50mph as well.
Then!! Driving back via M53, Abbey Wagon pulls onto motorway just before Cheshire Oaks. The left lane is for Cheshire Oaks so either you stay in there or you indicate and come out as if to head to Liverpool. He doesn’t indicate after I flash to let him know he can come out, so I pull away get up to 54mph notice its a young lad, bout my age (24-25) looking down at his phone, throws his indicator on, slows right down and forces two cars out into outside lane to let him in.
I am in no way a perfect driver but I do try to take lane discipline and slip roads seriously.

He’s not a prick for not moving over you are ,it’s down to you to sort your self out when joining from a slip road ,why would a left ■■■■■■ risk moving over ?
Hiding behind tassled curtains with pelmets, but can not see safely out of their cab window.
Cabs full of cheap tat off a container that was imported from Taiwan.
Dirty lens and lights on the rear of trailers.
Driving with one leg resting on the dash.
drivers who sit in traffic and watch movies on their phones and when challenged respond by saying its ok im sat in traffic ffs …

He doesn’t have to do anything, especially not slow down on the main carriageway. It’s you who has to judge it and adjust your speed to merge.
Overweight drivers who go in to a cafe/truckstop that does good food and order the ‘All Day Gutbuster’ breakfast - wtf? Some of these blokes barely fit behind the tables but they just carry on
I met an over weight driver while waiting to clear customs at the border in Irun/Hendaye.
He drove a wagon and drag for Westermans, a few us were sat outside a bar, the waitress brought out three chairs so he could sit down.
He later died on the operating table for a gastric band.
I remember the stale sweat odour that he had.
Back on topic, to add, drivers that get their G strings in a twist about a fridge trailer waking them up and switch it off.
Would they turn off the fridge in their house and risk food poisoning ?
On the motorway coming up behind a faster lorry that’s slowed down, usually because the driver is on phone/lighting a ■■■/eating or drinking/whatever. I start to pass them and they put the hammer down, leaving me hanging out in lane 2!!!
How hard can it be to engage cruise control/keep your foot on the gas while ‘multitasking’ at the wheel ffs!!!
