One rant that led to another rant & another.

Hello is this Rant & rave?
Yes? Good I have one.

I fricking hate it when slow fuckers (70kph drivers) speed up when there is a passing lane.
I fricking hate it that they know they are doing it but look straight ahead & not in their mirrors - they speed up cos they do NOT want anyone going faster than them.

It fricking pisses me off when fuckers are right up your date when you are mellow & cruising. When you pull over & let them pass (cos sometimes you are in a hurry & know what it's like - see above rant) they cruise past at exactly 3KPH faster & keep the exact same speed you were doing when you were in front. You in turn have to drop back.

I fricking hate it when you have followed a fricking slow driver (70kph again) & waited for 40kms for a straight to pass safely which you do - safely- & drive off at 105-110 kph & then see that the fricking slow fricker is keeping the same speed as you in your mirror. That really fucks me off more than anything!

I fricking hate it when I'm sitting at the exit of the local video shop which exits right at the point where a roundabout is & all the cars have to stop there before going round the roundabout. They see you sitting there & know how hard it is to get out yet still won't waste 2 seconds of their life to let you out. They didn't even have to stop - they already are!

I fricking hate it when all the pumps are busy at the servo & cars park behind me cos i'm just a bike & won't take long & I have to put on my helmet & gloves again & then I forget to take my glasses off to put my helmet on & drop a glove on the other side of the bike & the pressures on cos they're waiting for this lame biker whereas all the other cars have long since driven off.

What else...

Hmmm I'll keeep thinking.

On a positive note
I love it when I'm cruising on my bike on a Sunday avo happy to sit way behind a car or truck & pootle along at a sedate pace & the car/truck unexpectedly pulls over & waves at you to pass. I wave back & it makes me realise there are some good fuckers around.

I guess one good fucker makes up for a lot of ignorant fuckers.

Maybe that's what our goal in life should be - be that fucker that waves the bikes past.

I feel better now. I'm off to bed.

sorry for all the cussing

Yes to most of that but damned if I'm going to let some cage driver behind me at a gas station pressure me into hurrying up just so they can get to the pump. If anything I'll slow down a bit.

And if they honk their horn ... I take my helmet off and walk over and ask what the problem is ...

**GingerMidget** · 26th February 2012, 20:54

I'm gonna go positive. so, People that stop a bit further back to leave space for me to get out of minor intersections on to a busy main road.

Oh and people who move over in the lane when traffic isn't moving so lane splitters can get through safer. Wait, I do that.

One day someone is gonna bug my cage, and find out what I really think of wellington drivers. It won't be pretty, and I imagine the language may cause a sailor to blush.

Me und missus Mash often comment, on being let in/out/shown courtesy by another driver, that they must be from the UK

I frickin hate it when the lady at the garage asks me to take my helmet off when I reach the counter, after I've been standing in the queue with it on for a few minutes because it's a security risk. I won't have my helmet hair on camera thanks.

@suggestion... the road you are on is yours, you;ve paid taxes for it and noone else should try to take it from you, let alone complain about it... they deserve to wait.

Sounds about right. Same as in the hutt it appears. God help us all in a months time.

**ducatilover** · 26th February 2012, 21:13

heh, the mega conspiracy starts then... many more accidents fed into an ACC probability calculation can only mean 1 thing. I'll be out a box or two of beer.
