tazzieman Posted 7August, 2014 Report Share Posted 7August, 2014 why is everything "bespoke" all of a sudden and why do office-types have to "have a conversation" rather than just "talk"? Answer : too much television and internet use. No wonder sperm counts are dropping precipitously. Except in women. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion03 Posted 7August, 2014 Report Share Posted 7August, 2014 My vent today is.... suicidal pedestrians.... e.g. On the way to work, I am driving down the road, going turn left, I see a pedestrian, he's walking towards the intersection, hood up, hands in pocket, looking down, shuffling along.. Will he stop? Will he look? Nope, didn't stop, didn't look up or around, just step right off the footpath onto the road and keep on walking. I stop to let him go, seriously, yes I stopped, but really would it hurt him to look up before stepping out? And, I go home in the dark now, and in the rain, and the number of pedestrians wearing black that insist on jumping in front of my car! Gosh yes mate I'll try my best not to hit you, but wearing black in the rain and suddenly running out gives me a hard time. Vent over.

JV911 Posted 7August, 2014 Report Share Posted 7August, 2014 My vent today is.... suicidal pedestrians.... I was thinking of writing something similar after watching pedestrians (aka meanderthals) play Frogger with oncoming traffic on Sussex st this morning, including one dopey bloke with a baby in a pram and toddler in tow...W-T-F I've worked in the CBD for 15 years but never cease to be amazed at the stupidity of people, especially those too engrossed in their iphone and/or with headphones on.

Doish13 Posted 10August, 2014 Report Share Posted 10August, 2014 I work at corner of Thomas and Sussex... It's beyond a joke. The office use your terminology of Frogger daily.

Carrera28 Posted 10August, 2014 Report Share Posted 10August, 2014 D*c*he*d in a blue Audi who decided to switch into the left hand lane without indicating and decided that he wanted the same piece of road my car was occupying. When I hit the horn he gave me the finger. Somehow it's my fault for occupying the piece of road he wanted and not being a mind reader and leaving it free for him. Grrrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OZ930 Posted 14August, 2014 Report Share Posted 14August, 2014 The mongrel low life that loosened the wheel nuts of my prelude while I was in a shopping centre Fortunately, I worked out what the noise was before anything nasty happened.

Tit Posted 14August, 2014 Report Share Posted 14August, 2014 LOL. In Canberra rates don't even cover large item disposal (zero curbside pickup). We get the pleasure of driving the stuff to the tip ourselves and paying to dispose of things there. SNAGGLEFRAGGLEBLARGHARGLEARCGHHHHH... council rates.....

reax Posted 14August, 2014 Report Share Posted 14August, 2014 $1445 for a block of dirt which I can't claim anything on. If anyone wants an 800sqm block overlooking water outside of Bowen for 180 k call me. I will be taking a loss now so what the hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatout Posted 14August, 2014 Report Share Posted 14August, 2014 As a Motorcyclist who commutes on 2 wheels daily I have a theory about Gold coloured Camry's - danger danger and most likely to merge into your lane without notice, turn without indicating, cruise at 90km/h in a 110 zone I the right lane etc. I thought gold CRV drivers were worse than camry drivers.... it's funny though how you have these observations on a bike.

BAFE Posted 14August, 2014 Report Share Posted 14August, 2014 There's just not enough data space available on the interweb for me to complete my dislike for Camry drivers. But i guess the first few bits are: the Over OVER O V E R cautious approach the EVERYTHING the 15-20% below all speed limits ALWAYS and when you've had enough fun with those lets throw in the huge slice of unpredictability 2nd prize Honda drivers (special mention to CRV owners) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OZ930 Posted 15August, 2014 Report Share Posted 15August, 2014 …..um I wuz a Camry driver but now I drives a Honda. (It's my son's, he destroys it - I fix it arrangement) From my observations my next car should be a BIG 4WD. The bigger they are the better they are. Judging by how close they follow, they are the fastest best handling vehicles on the road, with exceptional brakes and fantastic tyre grip in all traffic and weather conditions. ….and the drivers are very courteous.

Russ Posted 15August, 2014 Report Share Posted 15August, 2014 Sounds like you need a Cayenne with the off-road package I must've mastered the art of invisibility in my white AU falcon this morning (with headlights on), had 2 people turn across in front of me and had to stop hard each time. It's times like this where ABS would've been a great option box to tick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

withers Posted 15August, 2014 Report Share Posted 15August, 2014 I was road raged by a p plater Camry 2 weeks ago... he got mad because I didnt let him go past me ie let him exceed the speed limit, so at the lights i didn't take off the split second it went green and he's on the horn - I flipped him the bird (did it without thinking) he then gets in front of me and locks up the brakes... so I just let him have his little fit, and he drives really slow.. . then as I indicate to go right, he swerves in front me! I got on the horn.. and he finally drove off! What is wrong with people??? And an inexperienced P plater at that too. Luckily the MINI stops quick.
