    Question Cager stupidity... What have you seen?

    Something that came up in another thread started me wondering ....... have searched and can't see any similar threads [sorry, Sniper, if there are ....]

    whilst on the road i've personally seen all drivers doing all sorts of daft things ...... shaving, applying lipstick [not usually the same person], juggling coffee and a donut, etc ------

    just wondered what other people's observations were


    or mebbe it's just me - and i'm flypaper for weirdos ............
    ... ...

    it's not you mate....the list is endless....

    reading the paper....thats a goodie

    or the classic is when you come up behind a car thats going about 30 under the limit and wandering side to side on the road and you can see the driver blathering on and on and gesticulating wildly as they point out all the little places of interest to their 90yr old granny who has just flown in from timbuctwaddle....dont worry dear, you dont need to watch the road, these new cars practically drive themselves!!

    Guy that hit me was not concentrating on the road.
    But don't worry folks, the law got him:
    4 months he couldn't drive his car (well he could he just lost his license)
    $400 to the man

    1. Texting and swerving across two lanes when a patrol car is up your arse.

    2. Overtaking on the inside of roundabout traffic and cutting across to get off on the right.

    3. Cross dressing men driving in high heels.

    4. Getting dressed while driving.

    5. Spanking the monkey while driving.

    I used to drive along and then sit at the lights and shave... usually running late... you know the kind of morning where you drink your coffee and have a smoke while in the shower (it can be done believe me, I used to do it often). Never while actually moving though!

    I was splitting this afternoon along blockhousebay road by the firestation.. as im paddling through a small gap, the cars and vans to my right started all moving right over to the left as far as they could squishing me in! I had no idea a fire engine was stuck between a large truck on the other side of the road and the line of cars to my right... if it was not for the van I would have seen what was happening and got out of the way... as it happened i made things worse.... feck.

    Today I followed a guy up the Pakuranga Highway who seemed determined to insert his right arm up his right nostril all the way up to the elbow

    I enjoyed that.

    eating cereal from a bowl is stupid. the milk goes everywhere.

    get those little variety packs in the little single serve boxes. open the top.. add milk! Viola!

    I've seen a guy with a cup of coffee and an electric razor, somehow managing to both shave his head and drink at the same time. That's going past the hospital in CHCH.
