This is really making me grumpy. It feels as if my whole world has gone mad.http://www.thisisdevon.co.uk/Injunct...ail/story.html

Re: What makes you grumpy?
There's a family nobody likes to meet;They live, it is said, on Complaining Street
In the city of Never-Are-Satisfied,
The River of Discontent beside.
They growl at that and they growl at this;
Whatever comes, there is something amiss;
And whether their station be high or humble,
They are all known by the name of Grumble.
The weather is always too hot or cold;
Summer and winter alike they scold.
Nothing goes right with the folks you meet
Down on that gloomy Complaining Street.
They growl at the rain and they growl at the sun;
In fact, their growling is never done.
And if everything pleased them, there isn't a doubt
They'd growl that they'd nothing to grumble about!
But the queerest thing is that not one of the same
Can be brought to acknowledge his family name;
For never a Grumbler will own that he
Is connected with it at all, you see.
The worst thing is that if anyone stays
Among them too long, he will learn their ways;
And before he dreams of the terrible jumble
He's adopted into the family of Grumble.
And so it were wisest to keep our feet
From wandering into Complaining Street;
And never to growl, whatever we do,
Lest we be mistaken for Grumblers, too.
Let us learn to walk with a smile and a song,
No matter if things do sometimes go wrong;
And then, be our station high or humble,
We'll never belong to the family of Grumble!

Bad or ignorant drivers make me grumpy. Those who park across two bays instead of nose in. Those who park in areas for the disabled when there's nothing wrong with them. Those who drive over the speed limit, and come up behind me expecting me to go faster, etc, etc.I hope their wheels turn square and fester at the corners!

What you have described is normal for Spanish drivers.
