People indicating at the end of a maneuver on the road. The whole idea is to show what you are going to do, not what you have just completed!! Roundabouts in particular. This flick of an indicater after you've pulled of the roundabout is about as useful as a trap door on a lifeboat.

Rugby commentators spouting about rugby as if it was a skillful game. Talking about "skillsets", "soft hands" and "what a wonderful footballer"  a lad is, when all that's really happening is a load of over-sized men running into each other, over and over again, only interrupted when the one actual footballer on the team hoofs the ball out of play.

Agreed, the clue is in the word indicate.

Having said that, a conscientious person that usually indicates in good time may have forgotten on this one occasion and thought it best to make the token gesture.

some amount of young wans (and older versions too) walking round with their heads in their phones searching the town for wee characters yesterday.  At least it gets them out of the house i suppose

Would you prefer it if people played games that make you sit on the couch? It's okay to let people enjoy things.

I thought that was one of your pastimes. Very popular in your neck of the woods.

I don't know what's worse. When you're regurgitating conservative rubbish or when you're talking in riddles.
