Xela Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 People who use their mobile phone while driving. I hope you crash. People who don't signal People who don't acknowledge you when you let them in People who sit in the outside lane of a dual carriageway doing 25 mph because they are turning right in 4 miles. People, just people... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just fell off a ladder which wasn't secured into the ground properly and it swung out making me fall off. Just a few grazes on my leg this time. I never ever have accidents but I've had two in two weeks now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is Something That Pisses Me Off That Shouldn't - car brand judgement. BMW drivers all do THIS, Skoda drivers all do THAT, Volvo drivers do the OTHER. But people who drive the sort of car that I have, they're OK. I know it's only a joke, but it's bollocks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've posted countless times in the bolitics thread at thinly disguised attacks hiding behind stereotyping conclusion if you can't beat them , get in a Ford Focus gag before someone beats you to it with the same gag but using Audi instead Edited September 9, 2016 by tonyh29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted September 9, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted September 9, 2016 (edited) I just don't get people who give give a shit about cars. They're just expensive contraptions to get you from A to B. I don't give a flying **** about what they look like or what 'features' they have.

Yep, as long as it's reasonably comfy and doesn't break down every five minutes I really couldn't care less.

I'd imagine that someone who drove 30,000 miles a year for work , would care quite a bit about some of the features in a car ? in the same way that you probably spend a lot of time on the brand of running shoe you wear ? sure all running shoes do the job , but from experience they don't all do the same job ( Brooks FTW ) Personally I don't give two cents for watches , doesn't mean various companies can't bring out watches that cost £30,000 if they so wish 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Yeah, having driven up and down the motorway all week in Hyundai and Nissan, I do care what uncomfortable shite I'm palmed off with. I am not interested in the wifi hub multi media interface touch screen console. I like good seats, good visibility and quiet engines. But yeah, all cars are basically the same. But but, yes, agreed this thread.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few specific models of car/van that I can usually predict with a degree of relative certainty will do something stupid, aggressive or incompetent fairly regularly. I call it the word removed list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is it you never hear guitar players, saying that they don't give a shit about guitars, as long as they can get from C to F and to G? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
