GC9911 Posted 5October, 2013 Report Share Posted 5October, 2013 just had the bad shonky dealer experience... After ages of looking over the car and not really liking the condition I ask for a test drive.... No you have to buy the car first.... A real GET F%%K and walk away moment. Obviously nothing to hide there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZ930 Posted 5October, 2013 Report Share Posted 5October, 2013 what type of car? Maybe the sales man is worried it will break down in the first 5 minutes, then...... "sorry sir, its your problem" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NiX Posted 5October, 2013 Report Share Posted 5October, 2013 What really gets me annoyed & sure I'm not alone here, when... Your driving down a side or narrow street, there's a parked car coming up in front & another car approaching, you slow right down so they can pass. Then, they drive straight past with NO thanks NO acknowledgement. Now, I'm not asking for much, a wave, nod of the head or even a couple of fingers raised off the steering wheel to say thank you! Not a hard thing to do... is it?? That P!!$$3s me off!!! Vent over! Harvs11, TINGY, sydr and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same deal when letting people into traffic from a side street/parking space/changing lanes etc. A little wave to acknowledge the gesture isn't too hard! Gross generalisation alert! Middle aged women with big sunglasses in late model SUV's seem to be the most common offenders. GC9911, NiX and ByronBayChris 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Special pleading because I have been known to wear a baseball style cap.) But any kind of brimmed hat is a surer indicator of driving related numptiness than any social or demographic clue.

SteamWolf Posted 7October, 2013 Report Share Posted 7October, 2013 When I rode a motorbike every day one of the key indicators was the White Card of Death which sits on the bottom left of the windscreen, denoting there was a fair chance the car was being operated by an oblivious pensioner.

withers Posted 8October, 2013 Report Share Posted 8October, 2013 People making generalisations based on people wearing hats!
