I was parked in Birmingham today in a motorcycle-only bay on a steep hill. I was just walking up the hill back to my bike, when 3 window cleaners came down the hill at me, my bike in between. One took a large bucket of soapy water, hoisted it up, walked along and threw in on the road 1 metre from my parked bike. There was no drain there, no other vehicles anywhere and its washed all round my bike and over the hill. I walked up to them as they passed and said "Do you reckon you could have thrown that just after my bike please, its really slippery". He said "Its only on your tyres, don't be so anal!".
It really ****ed me off, there were no cars anywhere else, but now my bike was sitting in a large patch of cold soapy water on a steep hill for no reason. Obviously I was careful when I pulled away, but I found it inconsiderate and on top of that extremely rude. Am I anal? Sorry, just needed to get that off my chest. |

There was no need for their rudeness and a little consideration isnt too much to ask!

It must have been embarassing for the poor window cleaner to have had such a basic bit of common courtesy pointed out to him by some retarded lout of a biker! He was just covering up his acute embarassment with bravado and macho rudness to make him look like a harder man than his mean biker opposition.
![]() Then again he may just have been a twonk. I'm not sure if you are anal or not though; do you iron your socks and underpants? ![]() |
