... Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Back to motoring ....... Overtaking on roundabouts. The moron on your bumper knows there is a roundabout ahead. He gets two lanes (one is supposed to be left - the other right). But. Hang on. Two lanes is a dual carriageway. That means overtaking is good - and he can do 60!!!! It's like the start of the DRS zone in an F1 race. W.T.F? Uncle TFR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The dastardly red Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 people saying "you obviously don't get irony" as way of backtracking on something stupid they've said. Oh and while I'm at it Irony takes skill, it's sarcasm's more considered and less pretentious elder sibling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taz Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Working in a school I have a lot of experience of this - parents (sorry it's mainly women) who buy top of range range rover sports, 4x4s, whatever the BMW equivalent is, and then can't park for toffee!! Here's an idea, if you can't park it, DON'T BUY THE BLOODY THING!!! Then when they do park it they take up the whole road, and block people's driveways in causing me a headache dealing with the moans of the residents. THEN at home time, they think they can stop in the middle of the road causing tailbacks of about 20 cars, because they can see little Jimmy just coming out the gate. If they could drive up to the front door they would!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taz Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Oh yeah, one thing that also really gets on my goat, is when you get people posting pictures of other people doing something stupid on the road - from behind the wheel on their phone!!! It's quite obviously not a dash cam picture from the angle you've taken the picture, as well as the fact that you can see the whole windscreen from the drivers point of view - and there is no camera set up in your car. That makes you even more of a moron than the idiot you're moaning about. Get a life, put your frickin phone down when your driving you absolute brain dead bellend.

Lanterne Rouge Posted February 5, 2016 Report Share Posted February 5, 2016 People, predominantly jolly old men types, who think it`s great when in the bank with one counter open and a bloody great queue to have a bit of `banter` with the cashier. It usually takes the form of pretending to forget their pin number or some such jolly jape. Normally followed by a detailed questioning regarding the health of the cashier`s family, friends etc. and completed by turning to the by now fuming queue with an `aren`t I just the bees knees` cheesy grin. At times like those I know why people feel the need to buy an assault rifle and go to the top of a tall building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
