Always incredibly pleasing to have someone tear it past you on a road, and then you end up right behind them at the next set of traffic lights.

Driving to work this morning, doing a steady 60-65, not in a rush as I was early. This prick was at it for about 10 miles. He had the chance to overtake twice if he wanted to. Happens regularly on the road I drive to work and it's always the same suspects, Audi's. If you're in that much of a rush, either overtake or get up earlier for work. I have only been driving a year and I have already formed the opinion that if you own an Audi, your probably a w@nk3r. Back in the day about 1989 was on holiday at lochgoilhead, driving my 2 litre capri there were roadworks on the way back with a speed limit of 40, this clown sat on my tail for about 3 miles of the roadworks.😒.

Arseholes That drives me crazy, is it really so hard to give a little wave or nod. I was parked at the side of the road last night whilst at work. I had been there for a while with no lights on at all, just sitting parked. A guy pulls up behind and I glanced in my mirror at him. A wee while passes and I realise his lights are still on and I have another little look in my mirror. It was at that point seeing him in my mirror waving his arms and getting all flustered, that I knew what was happening. He eventually swerved out and on passing me, he was giving me the two fingers and shouting and swearing. What a clown, some folk shouldn’t have a licence.🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a narrow road where someone has to drive down the middle or I'm on their side of the road I'll always wave to say thank you. If it's my side of the road and they stop behind parked cars on their side I usually don't.

You approach these cars to let oncoming traffic pass. Am I entitled to a wee nod or quick wave to say thanks?

Going home last night about half 11 and a 44 stops at the bus stop in Shandwick Place and I'm heading to Gorgie. Asked the guy if he could let me off in Gorgie Road but 'no, sorry, I'm not meant to stop in Gorgie Road' and off he went. Think there was one person on the bus downstairs. Seriously, what harm would that have done to stop at a bus stop he was passing anyway??!! Prick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The garage the bus was from was just down the hill from my parents house. When we stopped at Gretna I asked if when we got back, he could drop me at the bus stop at the top of the hill before he went to the garage. He said no chance, he didn't stop at that bus stop. So i had to get off two miles from the house at about midnight and get a taxi the rest of the way. Arsehole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronJambo Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Just now, Ray Gin said: I'd assume it's so you can put it together without the need for a hammer. Maybe. You need one anyway to bang tight fitting panels together. I'm building that thing in a room that's 10x12. I've got a double bed and mattress that's been taken to bits and taking up space, there's a high sleeper bed in there that I built yesterday and there's a cot bed in the room that's currently in bits. There are also huge drawers from the bed and two small chests. That wardrobe is over 2m tall and whilst it's tight there should've been plenty of space to build it. I needed almost 4m of floor space when I came to that. Not very easy when you can't even open the door to take things out. I can see what they've tried to do but it's not been very well thought out.
