Gripe of the day - What is yours?

[chris8886]

getting home from work to find that our cat had to be put down this morning because he had a large cancerous growth in his stomach, that had caused him to become incredibly thin and to stop eating and drinking! poor little bugger, glad he's not suffering anymore and he did have a good innings (was 15 or so)...

Ah man, that's sad. Sorry for your loss but don't be sad that he's gone, be happy that you had him for 15 years!

This is why helmet cam's are staring to become de regure.
The next thing were need is a

Motcylist "
Vest

Saw those "polite" jackets at the bike show, not a big fan of them.

Perhaps it's just the way we look at things differently. If I had been "nearly" side swiped my gripe of the day would be with myself for allowing it to happen, if on the other hand a car driver moved lanes without any apparent awareness of my presence I'd be congratulating myself for having the presence of mind to have anticipated it happening and it being a complete non-event.....

To be honest, the VFR just sat in lane 3 next to the Ford with his hand out in a "wtf are you doing" gesture rather than taking avoiding action.

Sorry to hear about the cat Chris

The polite jackets at the show (London) were even closer to the mark.

1) Finishing a full service then finding a bolt on the garage floor
2) Finishing a full service then finding it's still winter
