Rather than describing the effing eejits who drive up your ass leaving only enough room between your cars to swipe a credit card, or those who literally take aim at you with their car if you dare dart out onto the roundabout, or those who get too close in a supermarket queue, or park in a handicapped space, or those who are just plain rude and ignorant, I will pass over to Walt Whitman who sums it all up in Leaves of Grass on one of those days you're glad to get home and uncork a bottle of red....

"I think I could turn and live with animals, they are so placid and self-contained;
I stand and look at them long and long.
They do not sweat and whine about their condition; They do not lie awake in the dark and weep for their sins;
Not one is dissatisfied - not one is demented with the mania of owning things;
Not one kneels to another, nor to his kind that lived thousands of years ago;
Not one is respectable or industrious over the whole earth."

Could I also add to the list those Effing Eejits  that drive motorbikes and in the distance look like police. They seem to think they are police the way they drive. How come no one has stopped them from doing this?
