That all makes sense, and we get biblical rain here too usually in the summer, but there are lesser degrees of heavy rain when driving at the speed limited is perfectly safe yet some ****wit is out there, usually in the left lane, doing 40mph with their hazard lights flashing.

A torrential downpour is one thing, when your wipers can't keep up with the rainfall and you genuinely can't see, but I've seen people slowing to a crawl in a light drizzle, in temperatures well above freezing with little to no pooling of water in the road. It's mental

My neighbor posted this ( see attached image ) on FB - he must have parked in the wrong place so someone left him an angry note but was polite enough to self censor the bad words and wrote 'c___ucker' and 'a__hole"

Maybe he was featured on the 'You park like a cnut' website. Whoever left the note was a pussy for censoring it though. I hate that. Cocksucker and asshole aren't even bad words. I only rearranged cnut because of the regressive filter on this site.

Using the former Danish king's name is something of tradition though

Nothing should be censored anyway. This is the real world. Coddling everyone is why we have those knobs ruining places of learning with their twatguzzling 'safe spaces', the insufferable bunch of wankpuffins.

I am very tempted to leave a rude note on a car that I see weekly. Out of all the many empty spaces in the car park, it chooses not to use any and instead park in the road as if the parking spaces continued two spaces into the road. Presumably they are parking next to some other idiot who chose to do the same thing, but who always leaves before I get there, so there is a clear space between them and the actual parking spaces. It looks like they have just stopped in the road. Luckily, the road is pretty wide that people can get around this giant oversized SUV, but it pretty much reduces your sight lines to zero when leaving in a more reasonably sized car.

I have soooo wanted to do this around a new Camaro that I see regularly.


I have considered doing something like this too, but I almost always get back before the woman who parks it there gets back.
