The Ranting Thread

[Lighthawk]

Seconded. That's just being an ass to someone who went well above and beyond a simple favor.

[Mikey]

That kind of thing used to become so prevalent where I worked that I just left when I needed to go somewhere. And if I had to tell the boss (the biggest offender, BTW,) I lied.

[Mark]

Another guy that works here gave me the solution. He'll do lunch runs and such, but all cash up front, and he doesn't give change. At all. Period.

[RK_Striker_JK_5]

I'd do what that guy does. Although I'd give back change.

1) 30 MPH is the fecking speed limit, you don't like it, go around me. But wait until its safe to do so. And quit tailgaiting.
2) You have to give way to the right whilst on mini round abouts. Which is a bit hard to do when you take the corner at 40.
3) I'll overtake the cyclist in front when I can do so without passing within an inch of him.
4) Indicators are not optional.

Agreed on all counts. I wish at times I had a rear grenade launcher.

I concur. And sometimes I wish I had a forward grenade launcher...

Caltrops would be funnier.

My dad forgets indicators all the time. He's not a fantastic town driver (if the highway code is to be believed) but an excellent motorway one.

Mum on the other hand...Rules person through and through but she tends to be doing 30 when the lights go green.

Just the way I like it. Follows the rules, but not lazy about it.

I cannot stand being behind someone who takes ten minutes to get to 30 (exaggeration, but it feels like that).

I agree on all counts. I'd add that when you have left hand turn signal (for us who drive on the right side of the road) does not mean you just idle your car through. Most cars can take turns faster than 2 MPH without tipping over.

I have to say, a lot of people moan about young motorists but I find that generally its the middle or elderly women that are the worst. Either they don't know the dimensions of their car, they are afraid to actually use the accelerator peddle, or they are mad women who drive at the very very edge of what would be considered legal.

Plus people in 4x4's who think they own the road, disregarding right of way and other such rules. Mum likes to play chicken and see who flinches. Watching a Range Rover dive into a bush (its not their right of way mind you) is so enjoyable.

You're all wrong - what you need if a fifty-cal behind the radiator and a deployable oil slick at the back.

[Reliant121]

That would utterly ridiculous in the Korean vehicles we have in our home

[Captain Seafort]

So get a roller. It might need a new paint job though.
