I am dreading learning to drive precisely because of everything that you have listed there... Confused

There are sadley many, many, selfish fuckwits behind the wheel these days!

We were at my Nan's funeral yesterday, all had stickers on the front of our cars saying "funeral" and had dipped headlights on,following behind the funeral cars and we got cut up all over the place. Some tosser on foot even walked in between the car carrying the coffin and the limo carrying her children then ranted abuse at the driver.

There's no respect for anything these days, makes me both sad and angry.

Lisa, that's awful :(

CricketThicket · 20/08/2010 20:23

OP I think Ryoko has hit the nail on the head - it's all about selfishness and sense of entitlement these days.

chaostrulyreigns · 20/08/2010 20:37

Um Yep CricketThicket I think you're right.

But I think Ryoko was slightly OTT with her comparisons. Hmm

op would you feel better if I told you a car overtook me in a 30 limit the other day while I was doing 30. He obviously had had enough of inspecting my boot!! When we hit the end of the road that split into 2 before the roundabouts I slowed and passed him in the queue. I told ds to wave at the man in the red car. He did having no idea why Grin Blush

The biggest thing that annoys me is the danger they put their and other dc's in while technically teaching the future road users this is normal.

yanbu wankers the lots of them

IMoveTheStars · 20/08/2010 21:22

Ryoko needs to chill out a bit...

chaostrulyreigns · 20/08/2010 21:43

mumbar I always console myself when there's Prairie Hats like that about That I am much safer with them in front of me. Do you feel the same?

OP posts:
mumbar · 20/08/2010 22:04

yes - I always like them when they've inspected my boot to scoot off before they end up in it Confused

Did tell someone once that if I was doing a car boot sale I would open boot up so they could rumage and look but until then the boot contents remained private Blush

mumbar · 20/08/2010 22:04
