Thread: ooohhhhkaaayyy...... (idiot warning)

so, now you have me all interested and on the edge of my seat ... what happened with the tarps ??

And what was that plate number Dave? that chap needs a visit..

oh Davo not again

mate you must have a uncanny nac of finding such morons

now time to go back and read the post

Strange never a PEELER around when you need one, say a blonde miss her exit on a roundabout recently stop and reverse stop then take the turn so you dont have it all your own way.

Sounds like a normal day in Ippy.

Dave

What awesome logic and duty of care!

I sort of know how you feel - I work for a company contracted to Centrelink to find work for the unemployed (but that's another story).

There is a very nice lady at work, whom I like and admire very much, who seems to have the same ability to attract morons and often sits down at my desk with an exasperated expression on her face and says "OMFG, I'm a s**t magnet! Why me? Why do they have to pick me to unload on?" Unlike you when you drive out of the carpark - some of ours hang around for months, or years...

Then they come to my desk...

I salute you and recommend a cleansing ale! It works for me!

I would happily sign a contract right now that stipulated that everywhere I drive I have to get every red light and deal with nothing but your run of the mill idiot rev head ricer boy every where i drove in exchange for the opportunity to go back in time and unwitness what I saw today just so I didnt have to have my awareness level of just how stupid people can actually be set this high. An American TRYing to be this ignorantly stupid would fail miserably, The basic self presrvation insticnt would have to kick in.

as near as I recall it this is what happened, before you read on sit down somewhere where you cant fall over.

today while backing big red into a carpark to go and purchase some tarps for some work at home I heard what to my mechanics ear could only be described as "the impending death of some mechanical collection of parts pushed long past its design limit". After I finished parking my audiable clue was further distinguished by the emergance of an approximation of a diahtsu rocky which seemed to be constructed almost entirely of rust congealed into position by paint, grease and a pair of bumpers out of a smoke plume that puts big red on full noise to shame.

It reversed into the bay beside me (how I dont know the driver must have had some kind of extra sensory perception as I couldnt see the back of the vehicle for the smoke) which fortunately was downwind of me. I did manage to observe in a gap in the screen that the right hand rear tyre was a touch bald and a little flat.

Now Im not talking its been cornered hard and fast too often and the outside edge is a little worn. or that it had been run over loaded and over inflated and the center was worn Im talking its a cheapo retread thats blown the tread off and its running mainly on the goop and steel belts underneath kind of bald.

When the driver, an oriental bloke in what appeared to me to be a good suit, got out I was already out and walking past his vehicle at a slow pace while I waited for the noxious cloud to dissapate. I dont know If I ment to be sarcastic or if it was just in casual passing but I mentioned the bald rear tyre to the bloke. Now given the get up of this decidedly oriental bloke I was sort of expecting the broken english thing, what nothing on earth could have ever prepared me for was the intended content of his reply which I'll quote here and I hope I get this right.

" not problem, four wheel drive just let tyre down like on beach for grip."

To say I was stunned is like saying that a baby occasionaly poops in a nappy and sometimes it smells a bit. True but its nowhere near an accurate statement. I was so stunned I stoped looked at him, blinked, removed my sunglasses and looked again and asked him to explain what he ment. Now while I was doing my best impersonation of a dumbfounded human deer in the headlights he walked to the passanger side of the vehicle sort of explaining that if he puts a lot of air in the tyre it spins and the vehicle is difficult to drive so he just lets it down...

What happened next turned my perception of exactly how stunned a person could get on its head.

from the floor of the vehicle he pulled a baby, not out of a baby capsule on the seat or even a baby capsule on the floor but off of the floor, as in wrapped in nothing more than a baby blanket off of what I assumed was carpet type off of the floor....

At this point I pretty much ceased to function on any higher cognative level, If you shouted at me to get out from under the falling building I probabley would have just looked at you like I couldnt comprehend english. I vaguely remeber him thanking me for pointing out the bald tyre before chuffing off like nothing was out of the ordinary.......

Dave, you cant educate idiots, and if you try you will die before your time with a belly full of ulcers, some people are just beyond help, Regards Frank.
