Default Smile of the day - What is yours?

Online Christmas shopping isn't going too well for someone. After several attempts to get their eBay pin they've decided to now get eBay customer service in California to phone me to sort it out for them.

I'm not sure whether I should tell them they have the wrong number.

They should have gone to a shopping centre.

Almost died this morning, can't quite believe the car didn't make contact. Gotta be worth smiling about.


Leaving A10, going up slip road, looking for lights on the roundabout the whole way up (it's a dark roundabout with **** poor street lights so car lights are really obvious to see), get the top, I have slowed but don't intend to stop. (Yeah I know) I'm looking right the whole time. Can't see anything.




**** me sideways there is a black car right there, can't quite believe we didn't collide. Either their lights are really **** poor, or my brain over ruled my eyes as I was sure there was nothing there from coming up the slip lane.


Anyhow, ride safe folks - that was a close one even by my standards.


What really made me smile was that the car made evasive manoeuvres then must have composed themselves. After about 10 seconds they then gave me a blast of the horn for good measure.


Still chuckling now.

bad drivers always feel the need to blame other people for their mistakes.

I have seen a few cars driving without lights on in last few weeks, also favourite trick of people with DRL is to use them instead of headlights, but numpties don't realise their rear lights are not lit up.

I see DRL/No lights cars daily.

The driving test has to be too easy
