Todays - What grinds my gears *ARCHIVE*

[yen_powell]

[hellkat]

Today my gears should be ground by the fact that I rode off with my chain still padlocked round the back wheel.
But they were not.

They should also be ground because I did it in front of the military type.
But they were not.

In fact what I was most gears-ground about was the fact that the rest of the pub saw me do it too.

And I had just impressed half of them by tucking my dress into my jeans, starting up the Snarley and swinging my leg over in what I thought was a rakish kind of way.

Today is sad for old Pepperami !

We’ve been getting wild bunnies in our garden over the last few days.
We even named one of them ‘Dave’.

This morning we found Dave dead

Sad Pepperami is sad!

All the twats out recently..

One guy took exception to me overtaking him at a speed camera. It was a 30 limit, he was doing 10.. As soon as I got along side him he sped up instantly. I had to chicken out (was in car).



And (also in car):
50 limit dual carriageway, a flashy mercedes benz didn't realise I was equalling his left. He indicated then saw me. Then decided to try his best to get infront and squeeze me out- I stood my ground for a little while.

He then took the next turn off within the 200 yard sign. Twat was on the overtaking lane for miles - he had plenty of time to turn off if he wasn't a bell..

Weirdo dog owner* in the park.
My dog goes to meet her dog, her dog clearly kicks off first but because my dog gets the better of things in the issuing scuffle, its all my dog's fault.
I don't loose my rag, instead I inform her that she clearly hasn't understood the situation and that I meet people like her all the time.
This really pushes her buttons.

*nasty type, lives alone for obvious reasons. Probably.

I am not sure that my new workshop will be big enough.

Damaged braided brake lines I returned (contrary to "last thing done to bike" thread comments) were refunded, and the seller re-listed them with the same one picture as before with "great working condition" as the description.

Amazing. No guarantee that the already broken braiding wouldn't expand under use over a period of time and.. well.. you get the rest.

Some people.

Last year I loaned my small car to a friend of the GF, it was returned after 2 months with only 2 days left on the MOT.
I parked it up and forgot about it as we have another car, this week it's use has been required so today it went for MOT.

It has been kerbed, badly enough to bend a lower wishbone, track rod, pull off a drop link and fuck the tyre.

Also completely empty of fuel.



It will not be being loaned out again.

Sister & Bro in law's car has been totaled.

They went in to a restaurant and came out to find some kind friend of humanity had driven straight into their parked car.
I'm not saying alcohol/drugs involved but must have been a fair rate of knots. From the picture it's utter carnage and bear in mind their totaled car was a Volvo.

Insurance up for renawal in a few days. They've had to advise of the accident, and premium gone up £250. For the crime of being in a restaurant.

As I've said, legalised theft

Ebay. I bought an item of PPE from seller. It was faulty, they sent a replacement, also faulty, but worse. I sent photos, they acuse me of being a liar. Therefore I left accurate negative feedback "item faulty, replacement faulty". Nothing insulting or abusive about that but, it has been removed!
Phoned manufacturer, they sent me a good one.

Ebay tip - avoid sellers that have many revised feedbacks showing in the top right of their feedback profile.

Having to have 5 bags of shopping rescanned because my scanner didn't pick up on a 80p packet of fudding biscuits.
The self scan assistant looked at us like she'd just caught the great train robbers ffs.
Sainsbury's can gtf if they think I'll be buying more than 1 bag full of shopping in future.

Raging.
