I used to do this without knowing I was doing it.

Was brought to my attention by a family member and I consciously changed the way I replied to people.

I also started replies with "No, but....."

.....

Funny thing is that now I know I used to do this and how negative it comes across .... It really annoys me when others do it

J12 exit on the east bound M65 when people drive up the left hand lane (which is for turning left to Lomeshaye Estate only) but instead of turning left cut right across the roundabout into the right hand lanes heading towards Nelson/Brierfield.
Just frickin queue in the correct lane like sensible motorists do rather than try and save 2 minutes of your precious time and risk an accident.

Annoying I grant you that but far more annoying are those total two hats who, travelling west bound, exit at J10 and get in the left hand lane then come straight out at the top of the exit road at Gannow without stopping and try to cut across all of the traffic to get to Accy Road or towards Padiham. Bastards!
Last week I was able to get alongside one two hat doing that and keep pace with him forcing him down to the traffic lights at the Mitre. The most childish thing I have ever done, but so deeply satisfying.

I do this every night getting off the A64 onto the York ring road - its sooo satisfying knowing you've forced some knob to go around the roundabout. There's quite an art to it.....

My girlfriends son will ask for something, eg a biscuit in the following way:

"Am I allowed a biscuit or not?"

It is a question, but no inclusion of the word 'please' and actually sounds very negative.

Compare that to "Can I have a biscuit please?" The two are worlds apart.

When there are two lanes at traffic lights or a mini roundabout you always get some knobbler turning right who thinks they have to swing left into your lane first. It's like a 3 mph version of a rally driving Scandinavian flick. Does my head in.

I used to enjoy doing this at the Askham Bryan turnoff, although sometimes it was safer to just go up that right hand lane and go round the roundabout, if the queue was stretching back onto the A64.

The best place for doing it though was getting on the M1, near Arla. Every single time the lights went green there'd be 3 or 4 cars trying to get into the left hand lane from the middle lane, where they'd been trying to sneak up. It was good fun blocking them off and sending them round the roundabout.

It's an overflow lane and it's perfectly legal to crossover all three lanes.
I do it every time and laugh at some of the sad barstewards getting road rage.No one's ever forced me down towards the Mitre,many have tried but I just stop if they do and then someone has to let me across.

If you drive up any lane at eastbound junction 10 you have to stop at the top most of the time whichever lane you are in because of the traffic lights. Try doing a bit of research before casting your line. Wouldn't expect anything else though from a pig ignorant Tyke.

The lights at junction 12 have taken approx 15 minutes off my commute home from work as I can now get off the industrial estate without waiting in stop start traffic for 20 mins. Well worth every penny for me.

No wonder you blunder straight out into oncoming traffic if you don't even know which direction you're travelling in. You do know J10 M65 is in Lancashire don't you. We're a bit more advanced than farm carts and tractors. Normal traffic moves a lot faster, thus more consideration is needed.
