What Grinds My Gears.

[ke70dave]

one thing that REALLLY annoys me is the following:

 

Cars with VERY bright headlights.

 

often i get stuck infront of someone that has extremely bright lights, and it drives me mad.

 

headlights are beaming directly at me through the side mirrors, ive got my hand up trying to get the light out of my eyes.

 

especially 4wd's behind me at traffic lights, maybe its cause my car is low, but its like an artificial sun behind my car.

 

and don't get me started on fools putting HID's into cars that don't have the proper headlights for them. i swear its more dangerous for other drivers as we can't see anything once they point those lights at other drivers.

 

and its not just front lights, last night i was driving behind a ford focus, and the tail lights were phenominally bright. i thought they just had their brake lights on, but when they braked MORE lights came on...MORE OF THEM. i was seriously considering pulling over and letting a few cars go passed. luckly the focus pulled off. i don't know if someone had had just put the wrong bulbs in this focus, but it seems to be more and more common to see cars with overly bright head AND tail lights.

 

ive also been notcing an ever increasing amount of cars that have one headlight completely pointing in the wrong direction, so one headlight that is supposed to be on high beam will be pointing up into the sky...and blinding me...

 

please tell me someone else notices these things too?

Yes I do quite a bit of night driving, and it can be really difficult to concentrate sometimes when there are really bright lights right on your bumper!

 

What really shits me is the people who sit ~200m behind with their high beams on, like its not blinding me! arrgh

 

Not to mention the all the people who have over powered lights on their jacked up 4wd's drives, because they live in 'the country'.

also wtf is up with 4wd only using the stoplights/indicators on the bumper bar not the tail lights? POINTLESS IF YOU ASK ME!

[love ke70]

haha you tell me evan, my old man on his patrol cut all the blanks out and retrofitted bulbs into all the "for show" tailights.

 

pretty sure theyre used in europe etc, but not required over here so don't get used, its the most stupid thing imo

WGMG - even more annoying when they try and express their feelings/problems via song-lyrics.....FFS, you can't tell if they're serious or they just like the song..

[Evan G]

well on facebook it does say "whats on your mind" before you start typing, maybe they should change that to "what grinds your gears?"

 

i love being random on facebook :D

[Evan G]

wgmg BIG TIME - my dad got nothing to do, so he goes in the garage at like 3am and does random shit, neighbors complained 3 times! his blaminng me saying i got corolla shit everywere and nighbors don't like it? i wake up at 7:20 to go to loo and i hear the grinder and drill going off?

 

so i jumped outta my car at home, neighbor tells me "WTF and WHO THE f@$k makes noise at 3am?" i told her to ring the cops the next he does

 

my old man told the concil inspecter to talk to me about it saying its my fault etc etc, so the inspector came around 3 times in one day?

 

neighbor said she doesnt give a rats ass what it do in the shed just STFU after 9!

 

 

worst of all i gave the last warning and he still said its my fault and the neighbors hate the mess WTF!!!!!!!!!!

:hmm: now i know why ebay has been giving me crap loads of problems lately.

Its cause of all your damn corolla parts, Evan :P

 

Received a call from paypal the other day asking why i have two accounts and why i transferred money from one account to the other one. Told the guy the reason why is cause ebay has been using my closed paypal account on all the items that i had listed and i couldn't understand how they, the buyers, were being able to transfer the money into the closed account. But anywhat went through the last three items i had listed to make sure they had the correct paypal account listed and found they didn't so changed them to the correct one. Saved them and realized i had the wrong postage listed, went back to change it and the paypal account details was wrong again.

Phuck i'm glad its all over. Just have to do one paypal transfer and more then likely get another call from america about it, again. The other two had been nice and clean a local pick up and a bank transfer.

One thing that shits me is when you are driving on a country road at night being careful

 

and a giant kangaroo jumps right in front of the car.

 

my mate hit one in his subaru

 

completely rooted it

 

crushed the whole front

 

and left meat pieces everywhere

 

ouch!!!!

[towe001]

Woohoo i have Opera on my phone :(

 

Now i have to figure out how to use the stupid thing :(

Here's hoping i can do something about my firefox bookmarks.

 

Stupid garmin that just had to run android 1.6

[towe001]

Very bloody painful looking at the forum through opera.

WGMG - Finished Roadworks with 25km/h signs.....driving to an interview last wednesday, took me 15 minutes to do 150m on South Road. Drove past the so called "roadworks" and their packing up really slowly, while there's about 4 billion people (yes 4 BILLION) trying to get through. Even worse when it's a merge into single lane deal and there's 18 wheelers in traffic.

 

Also WGMG - When road works are working on the side of a 4 lane road (only taking up one lane) yet they slow down all lanes, stupid West Tce.
