One single thing that makes you think "knob" Vol 4

[Hackney]

One from yesterday:

Driving home past the entrance to the Co-op car park at 20-25mph, a car leaving the car park pulled up to the give way line.
If he'd pulled away straight away I would've rolled my eyes - he could have waited, there was nothing behind me.
If he'd pulled away almost immediately I would have been mildly inconvenienced - I'd already lifted off but would've had to touch the brake.
As it is, he left it right until the last second and pulled away slowly such that I had to brake hard or I'd have hit him. I pipped the horn (clearly he needed alerting to my presence)

He stopped, got out of his car, came over to my window leaned in to give me the full ugly mug, horrible teeth effect and said, "it would have been half and half mate".

In his own little idiot world did he mean, "it would have gone fifty fifty", inferring that in the event of an accident the insurance companies would have split the blame between the two parties? An incredible assumption if true, given that he pulled out of a side road across me when I was on the main road.

It's incidents like that that make me wish I'd got a dash cam in the car.

Half and half wouldnt be much consolation when your two ton car has come through his door at 30 mph !

Difference with horse st is that it's basically hay and other vegetable matter type stuff. Dog poo is nasty, nasty stuff.

no excuse though and I’m sure they are still supposed to clean it up

They can get poo buckets tied under the horses arse

Horse poo is actually non-toxic to humans, their guts don't contain any bacteria that can harm us,

I don’t care, it’s still st and it’s not nice to have to walk/ride/drive around.

Just how lazy is he that he considers "50/50" reasonable odds in the event of an accident caused because he couldn't be bothered to stop for a few seconds? The mind boggles.

The guy I almost ran over a couple of days ago. I was in a 30 limit doing slightly under as approaching my driveway and a tradesman working on a neighbours house looks right but not left and just steps out in front of me. I come to abrupt halt a few feet from him and give him that ‘well that was fking daft’ look. No gesticulating, no shouting, no horn. He shrugs and shouts “what?”, so I wind my window down and explain politely that it’s a good idea to look both ways before you step out in a road. He decides shouting “fk off” is a suitable response. Now I know most people don’t want to admit being in the wrong but had that been me I think I would have chosen the word sorry and been a bit more worried that I’d almost had the lower half of my body shattered. Very strange reaction and definitely knob.

Which is why the first reaction of the knobheads when they've been beeped at ., is the finger!

The tit that writes his own ‘poetry’ on your local Facebook group. There’s one in every area.

Poet alert poets aware
Blown 2CV is hiding out there
Ready to pounce ready to flounce
Dissing the rhyme but he doesn't care
His Facebook page is littered with words
His commentary a little absurd
Named after a knackerd French motor car
With a handle like that he won't go so far
He hopes we'll be struck with long writers blockage
But revenge is sweet with a fat frozen sausage.

There was an old man from Cheshire,
who when he was put under pressure,
caused frequent affront,
we think he's a c*nt,
and not a national treasure.

This lad I know had an audi s8
He really thought it was great
He thought he was god
But he got it through his job
It’s the one thing that makes me think knob

[Blown2CV]

you're all actually doing a far better job of it than the guy in my village. I imagine he is being earnest and not a total though, so he has that going for him.

Our town centre used to get poetry scrawled in chalk on the paving.

See this in other places, looks st, no one reads it either

I used to notice it when I was wandering lonely as a cloud through town.

Some guy on Instagram has posted a video showing some locks his neighbours had fitted to their bins.
He said ‘my neighbours obviously don’t like the fact I use their bins. Wait til I cut the bottoms out of them tomorrow.’

What a knob. Don’t think they’re the problem son.

Slightly barried grey focus occupying the right hand lane of a dual carriageway for no apparent reason this morning with ‘SEND NUDES” across the rear bumper in huge letters, filled the entire width of the car.

Who does that ? It’s just plain odd and borderline sex pest ish.

Can’t imagine turning up at places with that emblazoned.

I nipped up the inside and left him to his waiting for naked photos.

The mid '40's, female, driver of an '18 reg Ford Fiesta that dropped her drivers window and shouted at me to "fking hurry up and move" in Frimley Green village on Tuesday morning.

I'd parked up in a marked bay on the road and was getting out of the car to nip off the bakery, when she pulled up on the opposite side of the road, stopped (with 2 cars behind her) and started indicating with the intention to pull into the space i'd parked in. I glanced over, wondering what she was doing, which was when i was greeted by the call to hurry up & move. I politely called back "i've only just parked, sorry" to which the response was "How long will you fking be?"

Before i had a chance to reply / laugh at that one of the, now 7, cars stuck behind her blasted their horn and shouted out of their window for her to stop blocking the road and move Funnily enough, she then did move - all of 10 yards further forward from where she'd stopped into a completely empty space on the road that she could have just parked in to start with

Now why did she wan't my space? Because the space i'd pulled into just happened to be on the correct side of the road for the local coffee shop that she wanted to go into. Clearly having to park on the other side of the road, then cross over said road, would have added a few too many extra steps to her journey from car to shop

Thats unreal What is it now with society, its like when 1 side of the road has a a row of parked cars but people will still pull out without waiting and drive straight at you when you have right of way on the carriageway going towards them People are becoming very selfish.

Our village is terrible for that. They also then are incapable of reversing and it is all somehow your fault
