Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
I have a screensaver that gives a number to dial if you find my phone.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Helicopters. Especially when they fly over my house at 5:30 on a Saturday. Gits.
On the plus side I am up, dressed, fed and I've ironed all my shirts for next week. I can also be in town to get a few things for dinner tonight and pick up my dry cleaning before the place becomes a sea of rude idiots who roam about with nothing better to do with their heads down looking at their phones instead of where they're going.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
I must be an angry man this week.
Car drivers. The one who pulled out on a roundabout on me and squashed me between his car and the island. He saw fit to ignore me as I yelled, screamed, revved and fought to get out of his mess. The one who saw fit to flash his lights repeatedly because I braked sharply in the outside lane of a dual carriageway in front of him. Might have had something to do with the National Express coach that moves from lane 2 to 3 without indication. Clearly Mr Audi thinks I pop the back end out on dual carriageways for the hell of it. The upside is that the tyres are being changed Tuesday any ways. |

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
The aversion to indicators, I really struggle to understand why car drivers just dont use them.
The other day in the asda car park, I'm trying to exit, as I get on the exit road I can see a Mini on the left, full right lock, no indicators and no brake light to suggest shes parking (She was also stationary) I carry on my cautious approach, I decide to overtake while checking to see if there's anyone in the car, as I'm alongside she springs into life, nearly hits me then blames me. I stop, tell the other half to get off the bike, I go over and say "Please explain how that was my fault", and I get "You could see I was trying to turn" and I said "Oh yeah, cos you had your indicator on didnt you?" she looks puzzled, tells me to F off and walks off into the asda, undoubtedly to destroy people's heels with a trolley for an hour. |
