Is it bad manners? Noisy (or nosey) neighbours? Crude dress? Expensive groceries? Rainy days? I know this isn't an overly positive toipc, but as is life, we're only human and sometimes things just tick us off...

People too old to remember when they were P,platers. I have a 19 year old daughter finished top of her class in yr10 of high school, went straight into the only job she ever wanted (apprentice chef) has stayed with the same a la carte restaurant for 2 1/2 yrs doesn't drink, smoke or swear. The most level headed person I have ever met or would hope to be but is constantly being yelled at, sworn at and almost driven off the road by people who think that because she is a P,plater she doesn't know how to drive. Maybe we could all be a little more sensitive to ALL road users and not ones we predeem to be good drivers. Perhaps with a little more patient understanding and a kind smile ( even to those who don't deserve it) would warm our hearts and you never know that P,plater might smile back, mouth sorry and be aware that they too have a right to learn to drive.
