Re: Things that give you the sh1ts
When motorists can't park near the centre of a road when turning right, since working in Athol Park it has become very apparent, especially when turning on to Hanson Road.
I initially put it down to inconsideration, I'm pretty sure it's just an inability to know what is happening around them and how by stopping a couple of feet closer to the centre will allow the 8 cars waiting to turn left into the clear lanes while they wait for traffic travelling in both directions to be clear.

Re: Things that give you the sh1ts
People who feel the need to reverse park so close to the front of you despite having plenty of room in front of them.

Re: Things that give you the sh1ts
If I ever decided to get into politics, i would run my whole campaign based on banning reverse parking, that's how much I hate cars that do this.Brodlach wrote:People who reverse parkmighty_tiger_79 wrote:People who feel the need to reverse park so close to the front of you despite having plenty of room in front of them.![]()

I parked (nose in) to a carpark once where a brainiac reverse parker was loading groceries into the boot, so i parked as far to the line as was legally possible, which meant she could barely move and she got arky at me.
"well if you'd parked properly, you wouldn't have this problem"
My new Mantra - I am no longer available to things and people that make me feel like shit

1. Agreed hold everyone up who's trying to find a park - Wait 15 seconds, it won't kill you. More than happy to wait as you back out
2. cant see when they trying to leave as their reversing lights cant be seen - I have lights at both ends of my car, you don't? yeah but reversing lights are at the back of your car
3. Screams ME ME ME it's all about me so I can leave easily - It is my car, so yeah. See MT79's post about stickers on cars who do this
FU2 Spargo!

Re: Things that give you the sh1ts
In this instance they weren't going to back out into oncoming traffic as they were parking against the gutter.Booney wrote:Amen.Spargo wrote:So you’re not backing out into oncoming traffic.

They had ample space in front of them to drive into the space yet once they were there they reversed right back in front of me, completely unnecessarily. Thankfully noone behind me.....

Re: Things that give you the sh1ts
So when you’re driving on a road, and there’s a car heading towards you on the other (correct) side of the road, how do you know what direction it’s going?am Bays wrote: 2. cant see when they trying to leave as their reversing lights cant be seen - I have lights at both ends of my car, you don't? yeah but reversing lights are at the back of your car

Re: Things that give you the sh1ts
What gives me the shits is I leave the state/country for 2 full weeks for the first time in years this October and I miss a Mariners game here and a Sharp reunion concert at the Wheatsheaf and the Crown and Anchor while I'm gone! 2of the 3 walking distance from my home and the the other a 5 min Uber.
Seriously!
Oh well, my skivvies probably don't fit anyway.

Re: Things that give you the sh1ts
Work. Really struggling to find capable staff for manufacturing and because of it we're getting errors coming out of production and the headaches this causes are endless. Put out one spot fire, another one lights up. Been a shit house 8-10 weeks.
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

I reverse park as much as possible for the reason of the steering axles follow the rigid axles into the spot. Same reason as to why forklifts steer from the rear axles.Spargo wrote:So you’re not backing out into oncoming traffic.
