Little Things You Hate

I notified* 2 cars last night that had no lights on. First one pulled out of a side street just behind me, it was only for the fact that she indicated I even knew she was there. Second on was 3 minutes later and I came up behind it thinking why can’t I see any tail lights. It was about 800m more until the highway with no street lights.

*notified means a combined use of hazards, mad waving and flashing my own high beams to attract attention. Even then when alongside the vehicle in question while stationary at lights it took a bit more action to get a response.
Hahaha!!!

I drove home through the RNP the other day following a no headlighter...he was following another car so could see ok.

I followed him with lights off...lights on...for 5 mins or so...two “stealth cars” following a pied piper with headlights, leading the two of us.

Eventually the leader pulled away & no-headlighter in front wondered WTF when he couldn’t see shit & I was stealth mode behind, mostly driving by moonlight & memory

Might just be reflector design. Some car makers are better at it than others. AU Falcons were particularly bad - great for the driver, but I was forever being flashed... Even though they were work cars, I adjusted down the beam on them because I got sick of pissing people off.

Some hipster doofus locked his sit bike to the same pole as me then went in to vote. The fuckwit has ran his chain through my brake lines...much rage! Much rage building!!!! Trying to figure out if there's an easy way to undo my bike and leave this wanker a solid fuck you...too much rage to think!


Now the pre-polling station in Newcastle is 2 or 3 doors from a busy centrelink office. I hadn't really thought this through before storming into the pre-polling station. The kind attendant at the door asked what electorate I was in and politely replied I had already voted but was looking for someone. I scan the room and can't see a bike helmet so using the "fuck I'm angry voice" I loudly ask "where is the fuckwit that has locked their heap of shit bike to my bike out the front?" well yelling and swearing certainly created a scene! The bike was unlocked and I was free.

Is it just my experience here or does this kind of haphazard carelessness seem to be the exclusive to "trendy" arseholes riding shit bikes? They seem to specialise in it. I had one of these clowns a while ago try and lock their bike directly to my bike's top tube and then I was apparently an arsehole for pointing out that they could fuck off.

Hmmm, I think people are generally a PITA all over. This is the attraction of MTB'ing since you can leave them all behind for a while. Take bolt cutters and you are good to go.

New bike lock is so fucking heavy I'm not sure I can also carry bolt cutters.

I left my music machine at home today, so spent the day working with no tunes. To make it worse I have had to theme tune from Police Academy stuck in my head!!! Not the blue oyster music, the theme song. FML.

Here I was thinking you would be listening to Alan Jones and Ray Hadley all day on an old AM radio with a large rotary dial.
Wrong, I was, eh....

I came in here to complain about people constantly driving with their high beams on blinding you or shining it in your rear mirror. 10 years ago it was rare for people to not dim their beams. Now it seems its rare to not have my rear view flicked away to not get the beams in my mirror on the way home from work or wharever if its dark.
Rear facing 'work' lights will give them a hint.
