Grumpy old buggers thread

[4bee]

What do you reckon my chances would have been?

Not good, & was one the reasons we dumped them way back. Seems Call Centres do not actually speak to the Tech Sections & it is probably done by E-mail, Fax, Smoke Signals or Telepathically.

Wholly **** forget the mechanical repair advise! this is going to be my fav thread on AULRO
*I started to "like" every second post, havent read them all but will go back and read after this post.

Where do I start... (no no seriously where do I start!!)
*Drivers in a small tiny car that are turning left into a driveway and come out wide past the crown of the road (like a 60 ton road train).
*Drivers that sit just about on the crown of the road (how about keep LEFT).
*Fricken drivers on their god-forsaken mobile phones (are you kidding me?).
*Pedestrians on their fricken mobile phones. (if only running you down wasnt a criminal offence).
*Drivers that sit on my arse and are just bursting to get past me, all in a 50km zone (I try to guess where they are going and keep in front of them and go just a tad more slower than 50KMPH).
*Drivers that speed excessively past my local park (50kmph zone) with totally no thought to the risk of people (parents, children, dogs) using the park. (drivers as above).
*Drivers that fail to give way to emergency vehicles, even when that emergency vehicle is right behind them (just plain ignorant, move left you **** ).
*Drivers that reverse park in angle car parks (what the?? are you kidding me?)
*Drivers that reverse park now have to go down the wrong way to get out of the angle parking.
*Drivers that seem to think at a roundabout you give way to your right (no you give way to vehicles already ON THE ROUNDABOUT).
*The above drivers that finish giving way to the right when they can no longer see a vehicle coming. (ohhh are you waiting on a personal invitation from the Queen?).
*Drivers that seem to think they have the right of way coming upto a roundabout because they are on what they deem to be the "main road" (no it doesnt work like that either you ignorant ****).
*Drivers that are merging onto the freeway and end up in front of me doing 80KMPH (its a 100 zone, its called traffic flow, speed up BEFORE you end up in front of me).
*Drivers running down the left emergency stopping lane to get further along before forcing their way back into the lane (are you honestly that much of an ignorant ****?).
*Drivers that use hazards lights on as a "I can stop anywhere as long as the hazards lights are on" (no actually you still can't double park like that).

*People at the checkout that shuffle through their wallet, purse, or handbag as they havent sorted their payment method BEFORE everything has been swiped through (oh what? you need paying at the end of all this? is this really a new concept??).
*Smokers that deem they don't need to stand in line with the other plebs and stand at the front of the checkout to jump the cue (smaller supermarkets).
*People at the checkout that clearly have no sense of purpose for the day, so they prat around and prat around holding up the line for the morning (yes I'm a impatient bastard but will stand there quietly while you prat around and prat around and prat around).
*People that stand in the middle of the isle having a chit chat and dont move to let others customers past until you say "excuse me, do you mind if I get past" (the fact that I actually have to flap my gums at you is what really bites me).
*People that walk around and have ZERO spacial awareness in the supermarket. (its called peripheral vision people!).

*Customers that are Teachers, because Teachers just love to tell everyone how to do their jobs (how about you concentrate on actually teaching reading writing and leave me to do my job that I have been doing for a lot longer than you have been googling your car issue for).
*Customers (may include above) that matter of fact like tell me what the fault/cause of their vehicle issue is and then proceed to tell me how simple the repair is (if you are so dam clever, fix it yourself, you are right, it aint rocket science so it shouldnt take you long).
*People that gabble on about Land Rover faults, that neither own one or work on them (yeah thanks for your valuable input moron).
*People that call me "bro" "bra" "mate" when trying to squeeze my price down on a repair (no you arent my mate, my mates dont screw me down on price).
*Customers that don't pay me in a timely manner or ever (I like the customer / friendship level I have with most of my customers, I dont want it screwed up cuz you didnt pay me).

*Any professional (trade or otherwise, if you do it for a living you are deemed a professional) that can't do their job properly (like my domain hosting company that did an update to their mail server and suddenly my address book is empty (i use web based email).
*Any IT related item where they do some update and they really havent looked into it that thoroughly and havent documented all the changes (cuz you really cant be bothered right?).
*You flaming tree huggers, care bears, snow flakes (whatever you want to call yourself) that somehow believe buying new electric cars is going to save the planet (ohhh wake up and look at the horrific waste going on in industry throughout the world, your new electric car aint doing jack).


For anyone not in the above list, have a great day!

Christ Daz, that deserves a first Class Honours Degree. You do fancy the Asterisks don't you?

[DazzaTD5]

Some of these female tennis players really should wear shorts rather than skirts, so we don't have to spend half the match staring at their bums. Very distracting.

Is that Grumpy enough?

Woooo who died and made you god I for one am happy with their choice of attire

I've heard all DazzaTD5's comments before somewhere.....

(Singing) "As some day it may happen that a victim must be found
I've got a little list — I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground
And who never would be missed — who never would be missed!"
