I had to chuckle at the motoring sheets in the Sunday Times today when they asked people to name the most irritating drivers.
The one that tickled my chuckle bones?
"Avoid people driving with hats, especially flat caps. And, why do they always seem to have their mouth open"?
God, that is sooooooooo true

If ever I'm driving behind someone with obviously large ears, I draw back a bit. If I'm unfortunate enough to see the whole face, it's usually a slack jawed (open mouthed) youth.

Open mouth, going fishing, catching flies...

Steady, you might blow me cuvver. With me idiot 'at on, no one finks I am worth gettin annoyed wiv.
|
The worst ones are the nose-pickers - that really gets up my, er, nose.
|
I may regret admitting this but I have noticed I have started to drive with my mouth open. It seems to happen the most when I am manouevering. I am hoping it is a way of getting more oxygen to go to my brain so I make a better job of parking rather than I am becoming a slack jawed fool :-)

Teabelly,
We all do it after a certain age (yet to be determined - see other thread) we only notice when someone points it out. Its either that or shouting at Today or PM at either end of the working day !
|
Oh dear, I'm getting old! I did notice while watching the 'grumpy old men' programme that I was agreeing with most of what they said despite being much younger and the other gender!
I'll be buying a rover next ....

This reminds me of my mother, who regularly tells my dad off for sticking his tongue out the corner of his mouth when he's concentrating. Guess what she does when concentrating? Yep, exactly the same. There's an indicator you've been married for a while!

Confess I do it while riding. Validates that old biker admonition I guess: "Git yer knees in the breeze and some bugs in yer teeth".
