One single thing that makes you think "knob" Vol 3

[carlove]

Going to use a still from my dashcam, which is a knob thing in itself but I'm going to anyway.

This guy, parked in oncoming traffic with headlights on which is annoying enough but he's doing so with his stty blue headlights, was actually painful to go past.

Apparently some form of coffee retailing establishment which no longer requires any effort whatsoever from the fat wasters who drive through, and facilitating yet more fkwittery on the roads as these tossers tip huge buckets of coffee into their fat sweaty faces whilst they ought to be concentrating on driving.

Why do you automatically assume that everyone who doesn't lead their life exactly as you do yours (shopping on your bike, Ikea on your bike, camping on your bike, probably gratifying yourself sexually over your bike) is fat?

You really are a prize knob!

I would have said stalking someone around the forum and a) berating them for daring to ride a bike and b) bringing it up on a thread with fk all to do with bikes. Makes you the bigger knob

A quick search reveals I have 'engaged' 'yellowknob' 3 times in total, if that makes me a stalker then you have engaged me at least nine times so I guess that makes you my common law partner.... you prize muppet!

These young men who've bought some naff off-brand car such as a Skoda, Seat or Audi in black but they're so embarrassed by it they remove the radiator grill badge or paint it black.

Idiot cashier in Petrol station this morning that told me he couldn't accept round pound coins anymore.

Told him it was legal tender until midnight & it was all the change I had. Was sorely tempted to tender the 'emergency' £50 note hidden in my car for a £1 bottle of milk!

Knob.

And now you know what it's like trying to use a Scottish note south of the border

My local Sainsburys stopped accepting old pound coins yesterday. There have been signs up in the store for the last 2 weeks stating that company policy was to stop accepting on Saturday 14th; yet still there people there complaining about not being able to use their coins. Used the last of mine last night for my chippie supper.

Chaps that insist on driving next to you. It's very annoying, go away.

I have to nominate the Road Captain (old duffer in a highly polished 57 plate Astra) who decided to slow down for a speed camera van on a NSL road, about ½ a mile before reaching it.

Because of oncoming traffic, none of us behind could get past him….

…as he drove at LESS THAN 30 mph….

If people do this and there's nobody else about, I just put my high beams on. You wanna burn my retinas, I'll burn yours.

Knob.

Petrol stations are generally franchises run by tossers. He'd probably been told not to accept them by the franchisee.

I made sure I got rid of them all ages ago anyway... why create hassle for yourself?

better to be seen than not seen i suppose, esp as that appears to be unlit street. Parked with wheels on the well-tended grass though so it's a nob from me.

Yay!! Let's hear it for old duffer Road Captains. Prevented impatient drivers from getting a ticket.

people that talk about Christmas from September onwards. If you don't want to talk about Christmas with them, whilst it is 25 degreed outside, you are miserable/no christmas spirit/lighten up etc and every year more and more people agree with them!! I literally hate these people - there is nothing you can say to them either to convince them what they are doing is a bit OTT. Why would you wish away 4 months when time passes fast enough! Autumn is a perfectly nice time of year to enjoy on its own merits. Once it's Winter everyone will be fking moaning that it's too cold / not cold enough anyway. By the time it gets to the 27th dec everyone will be moaning they've eaten/drank too much... there's just so much noise. Do people have nothing else in their lives to enjoy? That's what jars me the most when "can we not talk about christmas just yet" gets met with accusations of being miserable... i feel i have many many things to enjoy in my life, and your gigantic countdown to the one thing you enjoy in your st life is trying to suppress those things i enjoy.

Another 'brilliant' counter is "oh you're talking about christmas now by complaining about people talking about christmas".

it should be legal to cause harm to them.

Side lights or a parking light might have been a better option, or park the other way round so that the reflectors, erm reflect, the oncoming headlights.

Think the reason for that is that Forged note machines cannot confirm if their genuine.

Not sure why they chose to withdraw the coin mid month, but since when have the likes of Sainsbury's or Shell been allowed to change BoE rules? Especially as other retailers have said their stores will,accept the coin until,the end of the month!

I have done that before, but would have been pointless here, he was talking to somebody on the doorstep of the house he's parked outside.
Just to add it's not an unlit road, there's plenty of streetlights but my dashcam doesn't pick up well, the thing that looks like a UFO above the Golf is one of them.

Revenge driving. Never a good move.
