Minor Rant Thread part 5

[di]

Parents that find time to moan about PTA events, yet don't seem to have the time to offer a hand to improve them

the stupid woman in the large 4 by 4 who decided she wanted to overtake me on the slip road onto the motorway when it was queued up in front of me, queued up behind her and I had someone who's just come out of hospital in the passenger side. Good job for her I did otherwise I'd have followed her and smashed her windscreen with my persuader.

Work. It just damn well gets in the way of my life!

[Glutton4...]

Those who keep up a constant barrage of abuse against all other drivers for being idiots, whilst themselves failing to indicate correctly, do 70 in a 40, 100 in a 70, etc, tailgate and chase other drivers who dare to overtake them. It is SO stressful for your passenger

Sorry, Hon - I'll try better in future!

the stupid woman in the large 4 by 4 who decided she wanted to overtake me ...

People who get in the way of us 4x4 drivers - COMIN' THRUUUU!

LOL - Sorry Ladies - Us motorists will always be at war with each other. I upset someone yesterday, by not indicating at a junction. I was sitting on my hand to thaw it out. Guilty as charged.

My rant? Dunno. Cold, innit?

Hope your riding is better

Chatting...grrrrr!

[taff]

it's the week for stupid drivers...tonights choice is a kid on a moped who shot across the pavement and in front of me while he was wearing black at midnight with no lights on.
I'm getting the pig......movie reference #1

I've been ranting (to myself) for a while about drivers with no lights on, and about drivers who jump red lights
.
Number of cyclists with no lights: about one, on average.
Drivers without lights: about 8, on average, at or just after, dusk.

Last night there was an almighty smash in front of me on the road home. One car jumped a red light and smashed into another who didn't have his lights on ...

road rage - I seem to be becoming prone to it lately, it never used to bother me, I'd just look at them and think, you'll be dead before me, hopefully you won't maim or kill anyway on your way out. Now, I get really angry about it.
I think I need a holiday.

some kind of natural justice at work there (although of course I hope no-one was badly hurt)

My rant: people (teenagers mostly) who walk out into the road expecting motorists to stop without killing them.

Two grandchildren to stay overnight - no warning, no clean jamas, no spare clothes

[Thelma Sanders]

I'll rant with you - that's awful!

...My rant: people (teenagers mostly) who walk out into the road expecting motorists to stop without killing them.

That used to be a game, locally, especially in one particular street. I could tell when it was going to happen, as one of the gang would look over their shoulder to see when a car was coming. I frightened the beejayzus out of four tarts that tried it, by blasting my horn at them. Never seen teenagers move so quickly! Made me laugh!

My rant: People that look you in the eye, and tell you a lie. When they know that you know it's a lie! Pillocks.

Barbeque?

Rant - Airport information desks who can't give you any information. Friend has still not arrived. Last night's flight cancelled. This morning's landed at 9.35, (I'm 15 mins away from the airport) this afternoon's flight cancelled. I'm guessing the battery has gone on her mobile.

No information forthcoming from the information desk. "Can't say if she was on the flight. Can't say if she was put on flight to a different airport. Can't say anything." "Data protection".
