One single thing that makes you think "knob" Vol 2
Discussion
I've never replied to this thread previously, but...
C**k-knocker No.1 - the 'hipster' in the blue BMW that I followed onto the M60 the other day. There are only TWO lanes at the traffic lights at the Junction onto the M60, so why you had to change your mind three times which one you wanted to be in, without indicating at any point, is beyond me. No doubt the latest App on your iPhone for Wired/Dazed & Confused had your attention. You then hurtled forward once the lights went green (no doubt to show the prowess of your PCP car) - and, without indicating again, straight into a line of cars on the M60, into someone's safe-braking zone, causing a near pile-up behind you. But that's OK, as you are waaay cooler than I am.
C**k-knocker No.2 - the Bentley Continental driver who followed me for 1/5 mile on the way into work this morning, but then thundered past me when I was doing the 40mph speed limit (but that's just not fast enough for you, is it?), only to turn left 100 yards down the road. Seriously, WTF is that about?

Having just driven from Devon to Kent and back I would like to nominate the following:
- French registered truck doing 50mph in lane 3 of 4 completely oblivious to the log jam he was causing behind him
- Woman in a Jazz doing 40 uphill on a dual carriageway
- Biker who used the footpath to get the the front of the queue
- Audi A3 at a merge in turn who decided the massive gap behind me wasn't good enough so at the last moment decided to continue on the cross hatchings to force a non-existent gap in front of me
- 50mph average speed cameras that are protecting miles of traffic cones

Why does No 2 bother you? I don't understand people who get upset at being overtaken. He didn't say anything about your wife or the size of your penis C**k-knocker No.1 - the 'hipster' in the blue BMW that I followed onto the M60 the other day.

we weren't talking about morality, we were talking about 'paying your way'. Incidentally it costs quite a lot to have someone killed, so i'd say my opinion still stands! A lot of the argument against the unfairness of wealth can be boiled down into "they've got more money than and i am jealous, so i will just focus my frustration with my own life on them by assuming that they must all be bad people". Life isn't fair, as another poster said. No-one is trying to pretend it's fair, but those demanding that everything should be fair and equal, it's mainly sour grapes isn't it. knob nomination goes to the completely f
king cock-smoker in the 3 series coupe who tailgated me for 5 miles in quite heavy traffic on the way to the M60 at 7am today, with his face lit up by his phone. This is fairly standard dhead behaviour, but what moved the game on a touch is when rounding the motorway roundabout he spun his car out - did a complete 180, in heavy traffic. nearly caused a huge pileup. I didn't see him for a bit and when i joined chester road a few minutes later he reappeared, bafflingly unphased by his very recent bk-drop, still with face lit by phone, zooming down the inside in a left-turn only lane and cutting in at the last minute.
Many a knob i have witnessed being a knob, but usually they retreat within themselves and drive like a grandma when they fk up a bit and get a scare, but rarely do you see someone just carry on being as much if not more of a tit straight away.

i didn't say well-paid people deserved it, i said they are worth it. Everyone is told these days from a young age that everyone is worth the same, everyone is equal. This is all very well until it comes to work where that just breaks down. Most people get it, but those at the bottom feel that it's wrong that they are at the bottom. Ultimately, some people present more value than others. Back-breaking manual work tends to be worth less as there is a huge supply of people able to do it, and you need a large number of people generally to do it. Skilled desk jobs don't physically deliver their worth in the same way, but they aren't easily replaced, and you need far less of them so they are individually more crucial. They aren't worth more as people, they are worth more to that company. I don't go crying to my boss saying that someone who earns £50k more than me is unfair, because it's to do with worth and people who are off the bottom rung as it were tend to understand that. It isn't about who works hardest. Ultimately could a bin man do my job? No. Could I do his job? Yes, but I concede i would hate it. Mrs 2CV has a mate who got a good degree but has bumbled along in low-paid entry level jobs in the 9 or so years since she graduated. She hates the fact that she doesn't earn what her friends earn, and thinks it's unfair. However, ultimately she has failed to apply herself, pisses about in work time, falls out with every boss she has, makes a lot of mistakes, and feels entitled to more money. There are lots of places where it can break down, but no-one has the right to a higher wage, you have to prove yourself every f
king day. the utter cretin sitting in lane 2 of the M8 tonight when it was otherwise empty,
pulled out from lane one and gave him a quick flash so he proceeded to pull into lane 3 whilst indicating left. honestly don't know what to even begin to say about that.
also police Scotland get a collective Knobs for not bothering their backsides if they would start enforcing against the piss poor lane discipline that I see every single day in life perhaps people would start making an effort

Not the Brampton roundabout for the A14, A1 by any chance? The number of special people for whom the arrows painted on the road and handy signposts showing how each lane is to be used prove to be a bit advanced is astonishing.
No it was the A34 near Bramhall. They even recently painted lane markings on to the roundabout to guide people to the correct lanes.Bimbling along an almost empty 3-lane section of the A1(M) at 70ish and suddenly the 50 signs come on the gantries. I give them the benefit of the doubt and slow to 60. As I go round a wide, open left hand bend I notice a car T-boned in the central barrier and a truck on the hard shoulder. I move into lane 2 so there is equal distance between me and the two casualties (about 5 metres on either side). As I move I can see in my mirrors lights approaching FAST at about 800 metres, so I put on my hazards. Needless to say, he ignored ALL the warnings until he was about 50 metres from the incident.
The brakes on the Mercedes C class appear to be quite effective from 100+
Perhaps, I'm the "knob" and I should have stayed in lane 1 and knocked the trucker down if he got out of his cab.

Mrs Ahmed judging from the MR54MED number plate on the Leeds-Thornbury ring road in the 60mph section. Porsche Cayenne, doing 50mph in outside lane then braking down to 40mph for the speed camera before dawdling back up to 50 - despite inside lane being clear.
Ignores a couple of flashes of headlights.
Knowing I'm not getting past I pull into inside lane so she pulls over to block me thinking I'm coming up the inside, then suddenly realises it's a dual carriageway (but only 60mph) and floors it way past the speed limit only to slam on for the next speed camera. Then pootles back up to 50mph.
Strange.

Guy in a Golf TDi going through the A1 average speed 50mph section at an indicated 49 mph in lane 2 of 2. Not making ANY progress on truck in lane 1 about 50 meters ahead. I want to be doing an indicated 53 mph (50mph on Satnav).
Idiot starts brake-checking me when he could just move to lane 1 to let me through. Grrr.
After about 10 minutes we reach NSL. He does one final brake check then boots it to 110+ mph only to exit at the next junction.

Skills are only loosely related to worth, and they are not the same. The ability to carve intricate figurines out of dried-out dogst is a skill, but I'd assume it's not worth much. In any case, something is worth a price precisely equal to what someone will pay. The reasons the buyer is willing to pay the price are often complicated and myriad. Just because an unrelated 3rd party doesn't understand those reasons does not make them invalid. Regardless, if someone will pay it, it's worth it - and what that 3rd party thinks about the transaction, or their perception of the worth of the purchased thing are absolutely irrelevant. Anyway lets knock it on the head as it's O/T and i am sure it's fking everyone else off. FreeLitres said:

Why does proper lane discipline go out of the Window for many in such 50 mph areas on motorways?Europa1 said:
I find it staggering the extent to which the smartphone is an umbilical cord for some people to the extent that they can't leave it alone for the length of a car journey. Will they update their status to say "Lying bleeding in tangled wreckage. Sad face."
I had a good laugh at that.
But to be honest, so many people these days are self-obsessed tossers, I wouldn't put it past them.
So called "road planners" who think it is a good idea to turn a simple left hand bend into a convuluted "T" junction so that heavy vehicles turning left not only have to be on the wrong side of the road (on a bend!!!!), but to have the offside road edging under the centre line of the vehicle(!!!!!!!!!!!).
(Blisworth, Northants).
Another "Designer Accident" spot!
