  • Things that tick you off!

    I just got back from the local shopping centre only to find that some A'hole had reversed into the rear drivers side bumper and shaved the paint off. I have a fair idea it was the tourist camper parked across from me as when I opened the back up to put the shopping in they were looking sheepishly at me. It was a white vehicle cause I had a white residue on top of my gold paint.

    There would have been plenty of witnesses but do you think anyone came up and told me what had happened? Not on your nelly. :x :x :x :x

    Hi mav sorry to hear about your scapes, hopefully it wont cost to much to repair & keep you off the road to long

    I was more lucky with my cruiser but not so lucky with the wifes car.

    I was at the kids school dance & an anouncement came over the pa that someone had run into my vehicle, I went outside to see the damage & a comodore had reversed into the corner of the HD steel bull bar on my 80 series cruiser, bit of white paint on the bar, not even a scatch but the comodore smashed its rear tail light & crumpled the rear quater panel, they seemed concered that they might have damaged my vehicle, I just sent them on thier way with a thank you & a smile for letting me know about the acciedent & that a bit of polish would fix the cruiser, so theres still some honest people around.

    But I didnt have the same luck with the wifes car, when someone ran a trolley down the side of the car damaging the right rear quater panel, rear passengers door & drivers door, the car was parked well away from any other vehicles so I think someone went out of thier way to damage it.
    Black car with white trolley scratchs, not a good look

          Last weekend same car park, it was about 5:30pm on a public holiday so there were heaps of car spots available. We were making our way back to our car when this old Range Rover pulls up right alongside the drivers side of our car. They were so close that I was unable to walk between the two cars. Then we watched the wife get out the drivers side and the husband then climb across and also get out the drivers side. :x

          I caught them at the rear of their car and asked them to kindly move their car so we could get in to ours. Well the guy starts giving me some lip so I said "Okay how about we settle it with a bloody good thumping?" He quickly jumped back in his car and moved it. What a tosser.

              im sure we have all being there....driving our cars fairly well loaded up with the family and camping gear towing something quite heavily loaded as well (boat/caravan etc).....only to have people cut us off at traffic lights or roar up on our LHS and then cut us off.

              Its those times i wish i had a REALLY big car - a monster truck and just kept going.

                  It's funny, I think that almost all of these gripes come back to the one thing - people being inconsiderate.
                  It's not hard, it doesn't take alot of extra time, but unfortunately less and less people seem to look around and think about how their actions affect others. It doesn't really even make me angry anymore, just sad that this is where we are heading. OK sorry.

                      Had to laugh at the "Bloody Good Thumping" Mav!! That's gold that is!!


                      Had a guy on a bicycle bump and scrape his way all down the side of the Prado on the way to work some weeks ago while I was stopped at lights. To top it all off he pushed the wingmirror back with a very loud noise. Thought it was busted but remembered a thread discussing it here a while back and luckily it popped back into place when I got to work and pushed it back. Well the guy in his "Kermit the Frog" bike outfit looks at me very sheepishly and does that kinda slow "sorry wave" thing that people do when they've screwed up. I begin winding down the window to ask him to wait on the verge as I fully intended to pull over onto the verge, inspect for damage and get his details. Before the window is down enough though for me to yell out he's off down the road without a care. Hope you're happy mate! He could very easily have come to the drivers side window and actually apologized as I wasn't going anywhere! Not much damage though, just buffed out a few scratches. Frikking Nitwit!

                      And just tonight, someone didn't indicate properly at a roundabout and I thought they were going straight through. Of course they weren't though and wanted to turn. I slam on the brakes. I had 2 Wok Box take away's on the passenger side floor. The shopping bag and boxes stayed exactly where they were. The food on the other hand leapt forward and flooded the sandgrabba mat! :evil: :evil: :evil: Thank god for the Sandgrabba! This guy has the audacity to beep me!. What!!!! You think this is my fault!! I laid on the Stebel truck horn and I hope it removed some number damn 2's from his frikking dweeb body....... Usually I don't trust anyone at roundabout's! I think I need to stick to that philosophy! I usually don't suffer road rage either but this was something else!

                          I was in the process of installing my Stebels this morning, when the missus came out to go to work and wanted to take MY car.
                          I am fortunate enough in my job, not to have to pay for fuel and with rising fuel costs and interest rates and the like, I can't say no to her for wanting to save a few bucks.
                          Still, it makes it hard to compete a project when I want to as I won't get the chance again until next weekend.

                            After living in Sydney for quite a few years and having to put up with alot of crap from all sorts of completetly pathetic and inconsiderate drivers. I started living in Alice where they dont how to use roundabouts, turn without indicating, race you in the LH lane at traffic lights, drive like its Sunday and if they happen to hit you take off or get out of the car and walk away. Somehow I get the feeling that ive never left the city, although the only traffic jams we get is when the trains roll into town.

                            P.S. sorry to hear the Prados messed up Mav.

                              one thing that gives me the craps is idiots how sit 10 to 15km/h under the speed limit and when it come to an overtaking lane speed upto 110km or more when you go to overtake them, so then you go back to sitting behind them cause you dont want to loose ya licence just to pass them again, then they slow down again, next overtaking lane you can guess what happens again. :evil:
