Hey,

As I was driving to work today, I got to the bottom of my road, and being bin day, there was a truck at the bottom.

The refuse truck had pulled to the junction of the island, stopped, and I thought he was going to wait 30 seconds or so for people to load the stuff in, and be off round the island.

Instead, to my surprise, the guy gets out of his cab, and assists his mates who are running to the truck from all over the place with refuse bags, and picking up paper off the floor.

I go to overtake, but this guy is literally on the junction.

Never mind being too close to the junction, he was physically at the junction. Nothing could legally get to the junction.

With no where to go, I ended up going the wrong way round the bollard and entered the island incorrectly all because of some ignorant, arrogant inconsiderate twat with a truck parked blocking the junction.

I've made a complaint to the council, anything more I can do, or indeed, have I committed a crime?

Today I delivered at a factory in Manchester. Whilst I was inside, a car driver parked right opposite the gate, despite the presence of double yellow lines and a no parking sign.

The upshot was that thanks to his inconsiderate parking, I had to wait nearly an hour all because of some arrogant inconsiderate twat with a car who parked blocking a factory entrance.

And don't get me started on Loading Bays in High Sts....


Now, if it had been a dustman loading up Rubbish, Im sure people here would have said that you're being inconsiderate. You've already delivered your goods!
