Bad drivers come in all shapes, sizes and ages but the one that really hacks me off is lack of courtesy. Every year, we experience this as the visitors arrive and have to drive on our single track roads. More than a fair few of them ignore the police notices; they obviously haven't read the Highway Code or all the notices on the ferries and quite a lot can't reverse! And then there's the attitude that if you have a 4x4 you can go onto the verge - never thinking of deep offlets, deep ditches, very large rocks etc. Why should I damage my car because they cannot obey the rules?
And then, there's the times you pull in to let oncoming traffic past as it's the sensible thing to do and rarely get an acknowledgement.
As for courtesies like holding a door open and letting someone through and getting no thank you, if in a good mood, it'll be "Thank you for holding the door open". If in a bad mood, I'll just say "Where's your manners?" Response by "offended gentleman" earlier this week to latter comment was to tell me off for being rude. My response was"Oooo! Didn't know royals had bad manners; should I curtsey?" Offended gentleman (who, like me, is an incomer, but, unlike me, an inveterate snob) went off red-faced at locals' laughter. A bit cruel of us, I know, but he's heartedly detested and has zero manners himself.
