Things that tick you off!

[mav Addicted PP Member Find all posts View Profile Close mav]

The Missus and I went out for dinner Saturday night and when we went to leave I found we needed to reverse out through a maze of vehicles that had built up during the course of the evening. What 'ticked me off' was the steel pole sticking out only about 2 feet out of the ground, unpainted/unmarked and the crunching noise at it destroyed the passenger side of my rear bumper including the reflector thingy! So much for the bloody reverse parking sensors.

Bugger, that is gonna cost some dollars if my scratch is $541 to fix.


The second thing that ticked me off on the way home that same night was coming within inches of colliding with a parked car trying to avoid a d'head crossing the road against the lights! :x

The third thing that ticked me off a further 500 metres down the road was having to again slam on the brakes and nearly mount the gutter as two ladies out clubbing for the evening decided to CROSS A MAJOR INTERSECTION AGAINST THE LIGHTS! :evil:

Wait...

The fourth thing that ticked me off the same night was the P plater and his w@nker mates thinking it was hilarious to stick to the right hand lane, blatantly refusing to move to the left, doing 85-90 in a 100 zone along the Centenary Highway then having the arrogance to hang out the window shaking fists and hurling abuse when they got a 'good dose of light' from point blank range before I passed them (of course explaining the principles of politeness in the most caring way possible) :twisted:

Then... the moment came when life sums up why my wife is the most beautiful creature in the world.

She says to me... "Gee, our horn is a bit whimpy... it'd be really good if we had a big truck horn or something like that... something to really scare the sh!t out of them!" (not knowing there's a Stebel Compact Truck Horn hiding in the bottom drawer of my tool cabinet).

Saturday is Stebel day! :lol:

and Next Sunday is revenge day I wager! :lol: :lol:

I've already had a few minor scratches on the new truck that seemed like gaping wounds at first, but that's okay I put them there and it was in the bush doing stuff. What really p*%%^% me off is w@nkers that seem to do it deliberately. At the shops yesterday with very few people there so I'm parked in the middle of an outdoor almost empty carpark. Walking across to the shop and look back and this person has parked right up next to my Prado. I mean I am the only vehicle in the middle of three (3) double rows about 100m wide, and even those other rows are almost empty. I commented to the person I was with about why someone would need to get that close. Anyway, didn't think anymore until I walked past the rear bumper this arve and saw the black marks and deep scratches. OK, we have spot the spot, let's see who can guess what hit me, based on all your 'what ticks me off' experiences.

Have you tried the Touch Up guys and the like :?: they are pretty good and fix dings for fraction of the price panel beaters charge.

Based on the fact that you describe these fragwits as W@nkers I would have to say a Pajero :shock:

Did I guess it ????? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Bloody Nissan drivers... :twisted:

[cjd Member Find all posts View Profile Close cjd]

Grandeman is nearly there, but it was one of those indiscriminate looking Nissan Station Wagons (that many of us have owned at some time or other in our past lives. Red, rust bucket piece of shit - both driver and vehicle. With the benefit of hindsight she/he was one of those people who walk around looking like they hate the world and would go out of their way to pick the newest car in a parking lot and deliberately damage it. How dare someone have something nice. How do I know? I'm reasonably sure I am aware of the person around the traps and I'm not the first target by a long shot. It really ticks me off, as does the defacing of any public property just to make some dropkick feel better about themselves. Yeah right.
Okay, out of the system and on to enjoying what I have saved for to provide enjoyment, safe travel and a quality of life for my family. Sometimes that makes people a target eh. Whoops, I thought it was out of my system. It's only a bloody car I know and it's only a scratch, but the wanton destruction of other's property through vandelism or theft pisses me off severely.
Cheers and sorry to whinge.

Then there are those moments of poetic justice.

Had a car tailgating us one morning in the fog, the car was that close at times we could no longer see the head lights.

Came to a bit of a clear section and we moved over old mate roars past giving us the finger and a mouth full.

A few K's up the road a dead roo another few K's and theres old mate bonnet up steam coming out.

We waved and smiled, my boss at the time said "Thats justice".
