Rant-time
When another motorist does something that totally ignores the highway code but then has a go at you as if you're in the wrong! (Right hand lane for straight on at a roundabout and then forcing me off the road Mrs Ford Focus on the Metrocentre ringroad; and white van man at the single car traffic calming chicanes giving me evils cos I had right of way and wasnt backing down)
Automatic renewals on policies like insurance and breakdown cover etc.
People thinking "wanker" because obviously the only reason why Im parking in the parent and child parking spaces as Tesco is because Im a lazy tosser. Not because of the 4 year old and 6 year old in the back of my car on booster seats
Stupidity at petrol stations when theres a queue. Your car *will* fit through the gap, use the pump in front of the stationary car.
I was driving towards a petrol station on my side of the road and a woman in an MPV was waiting to turn across my lane of traffic into the petrol station. I flashed and let her across. There were only 2 pumps free. She then pulls into the first pump, stops, gets out and fills her car up. This confused me as I wondered why she didnt pull forwards to let me use the back one and her the front one. Then after she filled up, she jumped back in her car, moved it forward to block the front one, gave me the thumbs up, and then joined the massive queue inside the petrol station! Now the only free pump had her car parked in front of it, and the pump she'd left for me couldnt be used cos it hadnt been paid for!!! It made me laugh more than anything I just couldnt get my head round it.
People that say "Could of" not "could have". Ive seen it so much I accidentally wrote it myself the other day.
Delay for shutter buttons on digital cameras. I dont care how many megapixels it has or whatever rifle scope maker's lenses are in it, make a camera that takes the picture when I press the fucking button. They had cameras that you need to go under a curtain and hold a flash rail in your hand that takes pictures when you want. And they're that old they used those to take pictures of Jesus!!!
Recruitment agencies and interviews asking what you've been doing since your last job, and when you reply "looking for work" they give you a funny look and insinuate that either Im not trying hard enough or that they would find a job quicker.
When you decide what car to buy and buy one and read up on it and then whenever you get the magazines like Redline or Banzai etc theres always a million other, better designed, less expensive and nicer looking aftermarket parts for the other cars that were in your shortlist but you decided against for a stupid reason like "I dont like the carpet pattern".
Webuyanycar.com Apparently if I buy a car for £2500, 8 months later its only worth £750 according to them.
When car dealers try to tell you things that you know they are just making up on the spot. Like when I was looking at a yellow Celica GT4 in Wigan and the guy kept insisting that no imported cars came with history, where Id actually asked why it didnt have any history or handbook for the 9 years it had been in this country.
Car dealers that have no idea what they have. Like when they dont know how to pop the bonnet or remove the keys (if its a push twist ignition barrel).
When people write things on forums like "that really annoys me... /rant over" like its common knowledge that putting a '/' before something means the end of it. Like code on a website. I dont know nob all about that type of thing, why bring it into common conversation. I wouldnt start talking about rifles or death metal bands or guitar scale lengths versus fret positioning or the Buzz Feiten tuning system. I wouldnt go on a boxing forum and say I got punched in the face like the power of a single'd supra.
When people receive and read texts, and then just put their phone down. Im texting for a reason! Text back! If I was to ring, you'd be like "you rang me just to say that?".
People who jump all over female members on a website like "hey baby nice car Id give you a ride sometime huhuhuh" if you want to chat up lasses go out to a club.
People that think they can be tossers on forums cos they post a lot or know a lot. Not particularly this forum, cos after a while you can tell its all good natured. But other forums Ive been on people would just be rude and not take the other persons perspective. As an example, on the 306 board I was on ages ago, one guy had managed to get 18s on his car. A very nice set of multispokes that looked perfect. His car was very subtle and no-one could tell it was on 18s until he said otherwise. Everyone says 17s is the max and 15s is the best for handling etc which is true, but some people dont value handling etc if all you do is a daily commute and value looks over performance. And people would be saying how it handles shite and would rub, and he would tell them otherwise, and they'd ignore him. People saying that hubcentric wheel spacers ruin wheel bearings, but have no actual proof. I'll agree that they cause accelerated wear, and that people on here may know of some truthful incidents, but the people that shit a brick when I was running stud conversion spacers had no grounds for the basis of their witchhunt!
Finally I hate my inability to stop thinking at nighttimes!!!
