What gets your nerves

What gets on your nerves when you are away in your van.
The thing that annoys me most is when i am having something to eat or watching TV and people walk past the van close up and then stop and just about put their nose on the window:mad: and try to see what my van is like inside:eek:.
Maybe its the tinted windows but what a dam cheek some people have.:rolleyes:

"Spar lorries"
I always come face to face with a spar lorry, in a small tourist town
with very narrow streets, and spar lorries do not reverse for any-one :mad:
I often want to hold my ground, but spar lorry drivers
are always 6'2" and built like a barn door :eek:
so I just politely reverse :eek:
(cursing under my breath)
aaaaaaarrrrgggghhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

The bigger they are the harder they fall:D
 
Tailgaters:(:mad:( It must be the end of the world when you get stuck behind a motorhome/caravan, in thier opinion), even though we are travelling to our maximum legal limit, then they see a gap and go for it as if thier life depends on it,then pull in front with brake lights burning causing you to brake until the idiot see's his next gap. Good riddance, see you at the next Junction:(

Find a decent place: You know, good view of the sea, sheltered, pleasant, good vibe, plenty of room etc. Then some Dog-Thrust will come and park their Van right next to you.
They always get a***d when you don't want to be friendly and they always seem to sound like John Major. The more isolated the spot, the more irritating the people seem to be

Sorry but the things that annoy me whilst M/Hing are the same as when I was narrow boating, Like Trevor the people putting their faces to the window (imagine going up to their house and peering through the window), the annoying sod with the genny going like a demented hornet on steroids and Eberspacher heating units that sound like concord is taking off. Oh and of course the ever annoying bar-b-q lit by some idiot that puts firelighters and tesco value sausages on it at the same time and covers a square mile with acrid chemic smoke that makes a b-line for you sat outside or straight through all your open windows, that leaves you, your clothes and your van stinking for days........

SHOW THEM THE MONKEY:D:D
 
we must be atractive

theres always one the mr and mrs nosey trying to see through the open door or window
whenever i find a nice quiet spot away from it all someone has to park up about six foot away.
and wants to talk talk talk mostly un intresting rubish
seems to always happen whilst you are setting up or cooking outside
i do like company but not the kind who force themselves on you and your space
seems we have similar opinions
 
When I'm driving my spar truck through small towns and other road users want me to reverse.

People sitting in their vans blocking my view when I'm trying to see in.

People not wanting to talk with me about my matchstick model collection when I park next to them in a lonely beauty spot and strike up my Barbecue.

People saying good morning to me when I've still got hangover.

Motorhome drivers costing me several seconds by hogging the road when I'm out in my 20 year old XR3. Even when I get within a yard of them!

Shall I get my coat!:D
 
wit annoy's me is when people park nearly in beside:rolleyes: u,they park that close :cool:they can get there breakfast...C'mon gee's space.....:D:D:D
