Geezers 'Pet Hate' thread

Yes there are some which can't drive a car let alone drive a lorry, sat nav's have made things worst, i don't use them, i'm a map man myself, i've also been use to driving through counrty lane to get to farms, and yes getting stuck as the farmers says "we have artic all time time" then you find you can't even get near 'em and some times through the ordering of things people say "no artic's please" that info gets lost and it ends up on a artic and the driver gets the blame for not getting to deliver the goods

 

As you all know Kev was in the fire service the times that man has come home furious because of people who stop on a blind bend, do an emergency stop or worse don't even see the fire engine with its blue lights & two tones! He always tells me to pull right up on the kerb on a straight bit of road or pull into a drive way where possible! If it's not possible to get out of the way ('s' bends etc) drive as quickly & safely as you can until it's safe to get out of the way. Even now he's not in the FS it gets so cross with drivers who don't get out of the way for the emergency services!

 

husband using my kitchen, and now the potato peeler is not to be found, always in one spot for months. But know he does not have a clue about it. there I feel better. so will move on. thanks.

 

I had this happen a couple of days ago. I was on a roundabout (red light), when a Police car came screaming in from the road to my left (blue lights, siren, white noise etc). The lights changed to green, so I waited for the Police car to cut across the front of me, and the girl in the car behind, blasted her horn at me . How stooopid some people are! Another case of sudden deafness and blindness. Probably listening to an ipod or something, with earphones in.
I would upload the dashcam clip, but I can't .

And another thing! My neigbours friend, parking well onto my parking space (my land), probably thinking it acceptable, just because I have only 1 car, and it's 2 spaces . I park in the middle to give them plenty of door space, and save my car from dings, but today I 'still' had to go out there and move it over even more . I will be having words!

 

@NorthantsGeezer, it's so blinking annoying when someone parks over your drive, at our old house we had a shared parking area oh lord the arguements! I totally lost the plot with one of the neighbours, he would park outside our garage, he'd be so close you couldn't open the door! Our back gate was to the side of the garage & that wasn't accessible either, hence me loosing the plot with him! Even after I lost the plot he would still park in front of the garage, I decided to take the quiet approach (this only happens when I'm very cross)I blocked him in with my car, he had an early start I didn't! I had a lay in! Unbeknown to me Kev was also very cross he decided to leave a message on the garage door! NO F***ing Parking! I know nothing about this & I stomp into the garage area to sort the neighbour out! Kev is laughing at me which made me really cross. I get into the parking area to be greated by 6 neighbours who are cheering & clapping & pointing at the garage door! To this day they think it was me who wrote in the door & wont have it that nice calm & quiet Kev the joker would do such a thing! After that the neighbour never spoke to me again, put his house on the market never to be seen again! . I hope you manage to calmly sort out the parking if not you know what to do!!!

 

I had this happen at my mums house. We all had privately owned garages, with a parking bay in front of each one. One day I came home, and found a mini parked in my bay in front of the garage door. I knew who was responsible, because it wasn't the first time it had happened.
I stomped (I like that word ) around to the house behind ours, and knocked on the door. I said, "Is that your mini out the back?". He replied, "Oh yes, is it in your way?".
I said, "Well considering it's parked in my bay, in front of my #@*+ing garage door, then yes I think it is, don't you?" .
His response was, "Oh, sorry sir". What a plank that bloke was!
I had trouble with his lad too, knocking at my mums house and running away. One day I was ready for them, like a coiled spring, because they kept doing it. I waited by the stairs, but they unknowingly outwitted Geezer, and knocked on the kitchen window. I sprung forth like Tigger, leapt the 5ft fence (well, possibly 4 ), and took off after them. I caught his lad after about 300 metres, and just that was enough punishment for him. Apparently there is still a brown patch on the grass in that spot to this day .

 

Years ago I was a passenger in my bosses van who had not long passed his test, I hear a wailing siren behind and can't understand why he doesn't pull into the inside lane to let it passed. His answer was I can hear it but can't see it so I'll stay where I am, I thought mirrors let you see behind

 

I don't mind looking in my rear view mirror - It is so pleasing to see people admiring my driving and giving me the "number one" signal

 

Seen 100's of accidents have you but never caused any I bet.
