What Grinds My Gears.

[orangeLJ]

hahaha, i must admit, I HATE people who sit in the right lane on the freeway (fast lane) and do the speed limit (110kph)

 

There are three lanes, and basically anyone who drives the F3 to work everyday understand the following-

 

The far left lane is for trucks and L platers

The middle lane is for general traffic, if there is no traffic in this lane, then you should be here even if you are doing the speed limit or 5kph over

if you want to go slower then 110kph get in the far left and putt along there.

 

The right lane is for those travelling that "wee" bit faster. Most people will sit between 120-130 in this lane consistantly, its not legal, I know that, but most of you know that it happens, and its accepted by most people who use the F3.

 

So it shits me to tears when people sit in the right lane and have the whole "I'm doing the speed limit" attitude and force those behind them to go into the middle or left lane in order to get around them! MORONS!

 

Ive been using the F3 for 2+ years on a daily basis (45 mins on it to work, then the same home) and ive pretty much seen every kind of ignorant stupidity you will come across in that short time.

 

 

As for the P plater thing, Yeah people act like tools to P platers, ive only been off mine for about 2 months now (had a slight delay in the form of a 3 month suspension.....)

 

But anyway, L platers should be on the freeway in peak times, thats a big thing, 80kph is not a safe speed to be doing on a road in peak hour traffic.

 

red P platers are less of a danger, but still present a problem when trucks are trying to overtake them, and cars are trying to overtake the trucks etc etc.

whats with them stupid L/P plate speed restrictions?

surely it would make sense for them to have experience driving under normal conditions, just seems weird to me.

 

and on the note of daylight savings, jon, we're not being sheep, its used around half the world, because it works for that half of the world.

there are areas where it doesnt work so well, like north qld etc, but this far south it does and would be very beneficial.

sunrise was at 4.45 this morning, not many people need light at that time, but sunset was around 645 i think, plenty of people could have got more done if they had that extra hour in the afternoon to play with...

Turning my lower back into a mangled pile of useless junk

 

Thanks to some bastard at the gym on Saturday!

 

Here's the story -

 

Was at the gym for my usual Saturday morning session in the weights room, i was about an hour into my workout (it wasn't an intense workout, mainly lower weight higher rep stuff) and most of the Saturday regulars where there, which happened to include a fat, short, balding man in his early 40's, who's workout (which takes him 4 hours) consists of nothing but watching everybody else, picking up what everybody else can do and pretending to do it.

 

This fat balding man was sitting at the shoulder press "resting" after a single rep of 60lbs. I had just completed my first set of 15 reps doing mechanical bench press at 220lbs (100kgs). This idiotic, disgusting, lazy son of a bitch decides while i am having a minor rest between sets, head between knees sucking in the big ones, to put the pin to the floor of the weight stack, 300lbs (136kgs i believe), and did it with such fluency i did not notice it. I then laid back into position to go for my second set of 15, maybe push it up to 16, but lo and behold, as i aim to push the handles up my lower back gave as well as my triceps, outer pectoral muscles and both thumbs which were ripped back by the handles.

 

The prick did it to me deliberately and i know why. He knows i watch what he does at the gym, as it is amusing to watch somebody there for hours on end doing nothing and pretending to tense in the mirror and i get the giggles up sometimes. He thought this was hilarious.

 

Needless to say, his membership is canceled, however no further action in the way of paying my medical bills (for remedial massage, chiropractor, doctor etc) has been taken and my father promised him that he will pay one way or another..

 

Jealousy is pathetic.

 

Payback is worth it sometimes, but a 40 year old man doing something to hurt a 16 year old boy is just outright ridiculous.

 

May he hope to God he stays away from me once I'm fixed and back in the gym.

 

NOW i have incentive to get bigger just to rub it in.

P.S. I'm using Fish Oil, strong painkillers, deep heat, a massage every three days and sleeping tablets to live.. Sitting hurts, standing hurts, laying hurts, passing bodily products hurts and thanks to medical bills Dad has no money for Christmas :dance:

Meanwhile, there has been another 2 cars come up behind me and are also wondering what the hell is going on. The car in front did not stop or pull over to the side of the road to let people past, just kept driving at his/her own speed limit. Now, you tell me who is in the wrong....the instructor in the car for not telling the learner driver to either speed up or pull off the road to let people past in a safer manner than to overtake on a 2 way road, or the fact that the learner driver had too little experience with speed to be on that road in the first place?

/rant

If it was me in the "instructors" seat i would have been telling the learner that cause he/she is well below the posted limit to do the right thing and pullover, or at least move over, to let the traffic past.

But on that note - it does depend on where the driver was cause on the Kilcoy side of Somerset (I think that the name of the town) can get a little twisty and there's really no place to move over. But still all in all when you get the chance to move over to let the traffic past do it.

I would have given the courtesy of waving a thank you in them moving over.

 

Rolla'Boy - sorry to hear what happened, what a crock of shit to happen at this time of year, just well needed for the memories. Good to hear that your on the mend and hopefully it's not long term.

[Xany]

The driver had ample room and countless times to pull over to the side of the road....even after 3mins behind this car i was quite annoyed how someone could be so ignorant of cars around them.

[orangeLJ]

probably find the person in the passengers seat was one of the rightcheous bastards that sits at 10kays under the psoted speed adn expects everyone behind them to just deal with it because they are comfortable doing that speed.....then they teach it to the kiddies....

 

arrrrgh!

 

Shits me to tear

Road works.

 

For some reason just about all the main roads in adelaide have some kinda road works going on at the moment and it doesnt help when the roads that don't have a truck and trailer roll over.

 

How many times does the inner streets of adelaide need to be remodeled ?and how many times does brighton road need to be relayed, are they thinking of running formula one on there any time soon ?

[Jason]

Buy stuff and ALWAYS having to take it back. Having the worst luck.

 

Got air compressor kit for chrisman presents, both air hose and tool were faulty (cheap fair enough, hose wasnt) took them back. Second hose was faulty for different reason.

Now my spankin new amp has a crackles in the left channel.

[love ke70]

how are they remodelling them? arnt they all straight and square corners?
