Friday rant.
My customers.
Can't say any more, privacy and all that shit.
If the redundancy package was not accumulating so well I'd be lone gone. And yes, there is a end to what I work in so it's a calculable value to consider in any decision making.
Nothing wine won't fix tonight and a spin on the Ducati this weekend - then back to the shit on Monday
I experienced a most intriguing encounter this morning at Taupiri. Thankfully Balu was with me (enjoying the chance to be a front seat passenger instead of usual driver). Coming out of Huntly around 8.15 this morning, heading south, I passed one of two cars ahead of me on the overtaking lane where the speed zone changes from 70 to 100. The second car was a little further ahead so rather than flooring it to get past I decided to tuck in behind.
The driver of that car continued to chug along at 80 coming out of the passing lanes and after several seconds of clearly not intending to go any faster I flashed my lights at him. Once. No horn. No "hand signals". One little 1 second light flash.
Well the response was immediate. I got the one finger salute, another hand signal out the window (which I did recognise as meaning "wanker"), a couple of ciggie butts flicked at my windscreen, plus several other bizarre hand signs - although he favoured the wanker and middle finger most.
Not bothering to respond to him I just continued to sit at 80, until dropping to 70 the 70 approach to Taupiri mountain. I indicated left to move into the roundabout to head south when he suddenly lurched his vehicle in front of mine and came to a sudden stop. My initial reaction was "um, why is he stopping when there are no other cars entering the roundabout?" Ah, that was about to be answered. Very loudly, very physically; he was apoplectic.
As he got out of his vehicle (little grey demio) I immediately ensured my central locking was engaged; and he stormed up to my car yelling with rage about what "fucken dumb bitch" was I to "think I could drive at 100 in a 70 zone". When I said it was 100 back before the speed zone; he screamed at me again "fucken dumb bitch, I'm a Maori (yes I could see that) and he knew he was right that I was trying to speed in a 70 kph zone" (um, no, I dropped to 70 at the LSZ while he continued to drive at 80). While yet again reiterating my ignorance and female dog status he decided to punctuate it with a haka stance and eyeball me. While many responses were going through my mind, I decided that saying nothing and just looking back at him was probably the least provocative thing to do.
As he moved to his car I didn't bother to have a wee korero with the car behind me as I didn't know whether mr. ignorant hori (who looked like he was on P) had any other surprises waiting in his vehicle for me - I dropped into first and left him at the roundabout.
Has anyone else had a colourful road rage encounter such as this? We even drove back home via Taupiri to check that I hadn't missed a temporary speed change in the area ( I hadn't) so I can only conclude that he was under some type of delusion that I was disrespecting "his"? mountain or that his racial status entitled him to make a speed change in the area (that only he knew about)
...D's rant was the only rant in the last few posts...Drews comment was really ill thought out...fuck you cunts are pussies...
Whinging about chlorinated water is dumb. Only a fucken idiot would have an issue with killing off potentially lethal bugs in the water supply.
If that cunt is gonna have a rant, he should make it about an actual problem. Preferably an issue that doesn't stem from a racist bigoted standpoint. But if he wants to go that route again, at least I get to swear and call names.
WTF shit do you take these days man... were was there a 'racist bigoted standpoint' in my post re the water in chc being fucked over???
in as many years as chc has been here there has never been any bugs in water... its amongest the best in the world why fuck it over with chlorine ?
BTW if you were paying attention I did answer my own question in the same post...
AND... racistism is in your family mate... ya brothers online name I take very racialistly... and if you dear call me a ranga, carrot top, blood nut etc Ill take that as racism aswell...
BTW I take more offence to being called an idiot than I do a raciest comment like honky...
cheers DD
